I drive a 1998 Honda Accord and I am planning on purchasing some rims. I am not sure wether to get 17 or 18" because I am not sure how the ride differs between the two sizes. I would like that to be explained.
Also I am stuck between two rims one is a 17" that I am in love with :

The other is an 18" that I adore:

I am not sure which would provide the best drive the 17 or the 18.
If you could help me out with that I would greatly appreciate it and also tell me which rim (out of the two I posted) that you prefer. Thank you in advance!

The 17" will ride better do to haveing more tire between the rim and the road. Tires are part of the suspension system and help cusion the ride the more you reduce the amount of rubber the harder the ride. With that said rims are a statement and are always a personal decision.

I saw both rims and I would like to suggest the 17" one. It looks great!!!! The ride may be a little stiff but that would be better than the 18". Beauty is pain but hey we all have to make sacrifices to look great!!! Good luck and I hoped I answered your question.

I was looking on the specs of the 17" rims... they will not fit your accord because the car has 5 lugs... and the rims are 4 lug!!!!! Or you can get the same rims with 5 lugs
Check those out... too big but look really nice...

Id go with 17.Smaller tires faster spee, and better traction
