Yeah, no Accord V6 sedans if that's what you are getting at Pete. Mine will be a measly K24W, but with a 6MT. It doesn't matter to me. Better fuel economy and reliability with the Honda I-4 than the V6 anyway.
hmm that may change my recommendation then. mine is a V6 coupe and the all-season tires can't cope with the torque very well.
Your heavy right foot might be an issue as well

Anyone want to do summer wheel shopping for me? Maybe 19s that are relatively light weight (I can't afford additional unsprung weight without Charlie's heavy foot and V6).

What color car are you getting?

I know you posted a silver one, but wasn't 100% sure.

Yeah, Lunar Silver (which looks pretty close to Silverstone -- it's gonna be a monotone garage). My choices in a 6mt at the highest trim level were limited to only Modern Steel and Lunar Silver, and I see too many Modern Steel's driving around my area, and don't like it quite as much.

There's a wheel thread on driveaccord.net, but it is so f-ing slow to load, it's almost worse than if they were owned by IB. http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/16...iscussion.html

TireRack has a ton of options for wheels. Really needs 19's to fill out the wheel wells properly, kind of shocking since I remember when 17's were considered "big".

Actually, once you narrow the field on Tire Rack to 19s weighing less than 25 lbs there are only eight options. I like the Enkei Raijin's in hyper silver best from the wheel perspective, but not so sure they really match well with the car, the Axis Sport XQ seem to be a better match on an Accord?

I've never heard of axis wheels either.
