hi guys..

rang up my insurer, and the only restriction they have for what size rims i can get are the width.

Basically, that i am allowed to fit any size rim to my 94 VTIs accord, as long as the width of the rim is not wider than the one's that came stock.

Mine came with the 15 inch alloys as stock.

I'm guessing it's a general physic's thing, where if the width of the rim stays the same, then the diameter can only go up to a certain size due limitations of strength, etc..

Not the question is, what's the standard width of my rim? My car's interstate at the moment, and i can't get out a ruler and measure.

And what suggiestion for rims to you guys have?? i tend to prefer the one's with 6 or more spokes, or just one's where you can see the rotor and stuff inside.. silver or gun metal. no chromies.

thanx in advance..

15x5.5"

Good luck finding aftermarket rims that are 5.5" wide :D

What state are you in? Might be worth checking out other insurers
