I'm looking at a multispoke or simple 6/7 spoke design. Something like the following 2. Probably a 17" so I can maintain the ride comfort.;)

Not looking at pimping it out to the max, though this legend is my inspiration!

If I were you, I will take off the sunvisor and put 19" wheels, since this car is big, it will look more balance,my 2 cents.
Congrats with the car.

Not too bad on petrol - I guess it depends on how heavy your foot is. I'm getting about 11L/100km with a mix of city/open road driving.
18" wheels would be ideal imo but I'm trying to maintain as much sidewall as possible. I'm enjoying the comfort after having the accord lowered on 215/45/17's. I must be getting old!! lol

Mate I had one of these, my alltime fav car for comfort. I put USDM Acura emblems front and rear and nobody knew what it was! FYI I think its Accord Euro Tein coilovers go straight in. Also for cheap 18" wheels, Mazda RX8 alloys look ok, cheap S/H too.

I'll take some pics in the morning. Yeah the reaar seats recline about 5 inches.
Feels like you need a cigar in your mouth when you do recline the seats though! lol
JMSBND - thanks for the tip about the coilovers, will look into that straight away!
