Mille rims

I'm thinking about getting these rims for my 95 Honda Accord. My car is beige. Do you think they would look good? Also, where can I find prices for these rims? Where is the best place to look? Thanks.

I think these rims are awsome on certain cars.. BMW M3 in 18 inch chrome for instance..

I think those rims would look pretty good, but most importantly, if you like them, buy them!

Thanks guys. I'm going to look into buying them. I checked out the list of sites on the other post... that is a great list! I actually found another set of rims after searching that I also like but are a lot cheaper. They are the Konig Monsoons. Do you guys like these rims? Do you know of many people that have them? Here's a link: http://www.1010tires.com/Konig.html

Thanks again.

Casey

I like the Monsoons also. It will all come down to personal preference. Being performance oriented, I'd make sure to get the lightest wheels that your my allows, so look up the weights also.

One more question. Right now I have stock 15's on my car. If I get 17's, will it raise my car enough that I will need to get something to lower it? My friend has a new Dodge Neon, and after he bought 17's, there was a big gap in the wheel wells because of the height difference. Just wondering if I should anticipate this.

i don't understand your question about the gap. the car will raise a bit because of the bigger rim size but the fender gap will decrease. IMO 17 are the best way to go. And you said that you want the monsoon rims. if u go 17 they are 159 the same as the tantrums (i like tantrums better)

You may also want to check out Rota wheels too, pretty light and very cheap, but still make pretty decent. See if you like any of those. It may save you a couple dollars.

Thanks Hondaman. I just remember how my friend's car looked after putting new rims on it, that's why I am worried. But if you think it will only lower the gap then I'm not that worried. Hopefully I can get 17's because that sounds like it is the way to go. How much will it affect my ride? Will it make it more bumpy?

Rice, I'll check out Rota. Never heard of them, but I'll see what they look like!

Thanks guys.

as for the ride it will be considerably bumpier than the stock 15". first of all you need to inflate them to 40psi to prevent damage to the rim. think about your stock 15" inflated at 40 psi. Also they might be harder on your suspension but i am not the suspension pro here.
