Hi all,

probably should have done this before posting a thread but here goes.

Had six hondas, 1x200cc trike, 2 dirt bikes, a CBR600, a white V6 1998 50th anniversary Accord and now........

2006 Luxury in graphite with optional metal trim on dash.
Also bonnet protector and factory mats, and street legal window tinting.
The next couple of days will see the Avanti Chrome Impakt2 17x7's go on and the in dash stereo(lower dash panel kit) mp3/DVD/TV/rear view camera with a 3.5" screen on the player. The speakers will be switchable between the 6 stacker and the Mp3/DVD.

That's enough about the car, also into marine and tropical fish.

Hello & Welcome Merlin.
Advanti have some nice designs, is this the wheel you're going for in 17":

I also like the Acute desgin wheel (kinda like the volk gtc design), would look hot on a Euro, esp. in 18":

That's it, the top one.

The problem I found, as most have, the difficulty in getting an offset >45mm.

My choice increases the track by 10mm as it has a offset of 45mm. I would have preferred to go to a 235/45 tyre but the 225/45 is the limit for a 7" rim.

I didn't want to alter the track too much as I would have if I increased the width. My ideal would have been to get the Impakt2 in a 18" x 8" with a 55 offset. The Impakt2 is not available above 17x7.

Not a lot to choose from without going $2000++!!

Should still look OK when I drop it 1"-1.5".
