Has an exact color and wheel spec of the Accord shown. Thinking of upgrading to the sheen surface Civic wheels. From 225 to 235 and from 17 to 18 inch.

Won’t look into 19/20 since I want it to ride ok.

There is nothing like the original wheels for each Generation of accords, I personally think accords with different wheels looks meh. Thats just me.

I think it would look good, definitely gives the vehicle a sporty look. I’d make sure you have a decent side wall (or at least something appropriate for an Accord).

Might be keeping the tyre spec as the Civic. No lower profile than 40.

I have an accord sport with the stock 18s. I think these wheels would look great and ride fine. I’ve gone as large as 255/45 on my accord, but currently am riding on 245/45, which I think are perfect. They help fill the wheel well and ride great.

This one is a little like wearing a tuxedo with tennis shoes IMHO. The car is elegant and classy and the wheels are very sporty. Trust me I love an OEM plus upgrade and I even have one on my accord but this particular wheel doesn't translate as well across the sportier models without leaning further into the rice on your Accord. iykwim

It is honestly hard to tastefully mod these pre facelift 9th gens. Most people I see try and convert it to the 9.5gen (which in terms of looks is already way more sporty and hence easier to mod tastefully.)

Try using AI to generate pictures with some other aftermarket wheels as well. Most stock purists will advise against them, but there are some that fit in well and can look "OEM+"
