i cannot find any wheels worth putting on a euro because of the configuration. i was wondering if anyone knows which brands or particular wheels will fit?
i was mainly considering 19's but info on 18's and 20's would also be appreciated.

Foreskinner.. There are heaps of wheels that go on our euro's... Ur asking such a broad question there...

As long as the wheels are pcd 5x114.3 , and have a offset of at least +40 u should be fine...

U can chuck on 16's,17's,18's, 19's, 20's... Its not how big the wheels are that will be ur problem on the euro.. Its how wide u can go without having to roll ur guards...

I went to a few tyre shops recently, one recommended me Koya wheels Inox-1 (a Canberra member, Suntzu, has 18"x8" Koya wheels fitted on his new Euro by Honda dealer). www.koyawheels.com

The other tyre shop said to me Koya wont fit Euro (he has Koya on his shelf), and recommended me Voltex multispoke wheels, I didn't like the style, then he gave me a G.Max Racing wheels' brouchure. G.Max Racing Wheels Style M-113.. 18"x 7.5" is the one he said will fit accord Euro.. G.max doesn't seem to have a website.
has anyone here know where is G.max wheels made?

Koya Inox-1 do fit the Euro...the guy at the tyre shop probably could not get them in so he tried tyo sell you something else.

I spoke to Koya and they will not be available until July at least.

Have you got a pic of Suntzu's Euro? I would love to see it because I want those rims for mine and am dying to see what they look like on the Euro...

Do you guys already have lowered suspensions? Would it look odd to go to 18" or 19" without lowering? I do plenty of urban and city driving and don't want to lower my car.. its already scraps coming out of my driveway if i go to fast.

Whats hte largest size if you don't want to lower?

My car will be ready for pick up in 6 days. I dunno which KOYA wheels im getting, I just asked for the same as the ones on the demo i drove. I think they were 5 or six spoke ones. Very similar to the inox i think , if not them. I am assuming the dealer knows what they are doing as they have a wheel shop.

Certainly if they dont fit it wont be a problem as it is being supplied by the dealer and it will be their problem if it doesnt. I "think" mine are 18 x7.5 but not sure. I dunno the offest but im assuming from the above that it wont be an issue.

I can tell you that it looked sweet on the blue demo, mine is milano red though.

Frankly my head is about to explode from the 3 week wait, but soon, soon....I WILL HAVE IT! :D

Nick, u and me share the same taste. :thumbsup:
Did you call Koya distributor in Brisbane? (head office's phone number has area code 07)
I e-mailed them a week ago to enquire some questions, eg. offset, weight, etc but no reply yet... :(
The catalog indicated Inox-1 has 18" x 8", rather than 7.5" width.
Suntzu, If yours is 18"x7.5", then it might be other style. rather than Inox-1.

Inox-1 has this very shinny stain-less steel appearance yet not too bling, and the spokes tuck in a bit near the peripheral so give u the deep dish look.

Suntzu, 6 days to go. U can't wait to pick up your car. We can't wait to see photos of your car too (with 18") :D

U dont have to lower your Euro to upsize your rims.. as long as the overall diameter is the same (or similar), then u will be fine..

Infact, if your new rims have smaller offset (eg 45) (stock rim is 55), then the whole rim and tyre will sit out a bit more and the gaps between tyre and guard will look narrower too.

Becareful those steep driveway kerb and speed bumps

19s would probably be the best way to go in my opinion.. just check out this Euro cruising Syd with the plates LOWRDE.. he has 19s ooooft they are nice!

Thanks PNR888 - guess i don't want to upgrade for looks.. just want more contact with the road. I'm sick of losing traction. Going to upgrade to Bridgestones S0-3s.. but wondering whether i need to change the rims or whether just changing the tyre is enough

not many catalogues or ads show the specs of the wheels, thats why i was wanting to know which brands and types i should look for.
i like advanti, konig etc. Something smooth and pretty straight forward design.
19 inch polished alloy in either 5,6 or 7 spoke. When i asked around at the wheel outlets all the quotes i got were for wheels i'd never look at.
