    VIP Style or Race Style??

    In the process of completely re-doing my CK Accord. Doing quite a few mods, but am still undecided about wheels/stance. I'm going to be dumping on adjustable Koni Yellows and compressed Superlow King Springs (about 4inch drop max).

    So essentially the car is going to be quite low, well as low as it can be and still be driveable...

    My question is...which of these three styles should I pursue for wheels/stance:

    1. Lightweight 17x7/7.5 racey wheels in a high offset (42+) with some 225/40 rubber and dump the car on these.

    2. OEM style and throw on the Euro Luxury wheels (17x7 +55) and slam over the high offset (can get these really cheap)

    3. VIP? Japanese 18x8 on front and 18x9 on rear with stretched tyres on front and rear (215/40/18) with natural camber and possibly camber kit on rear. Dumped as low as possibele, tucking tire and extremely flush.

    Already have guards rolled so my options are pretty open...

    Suspension is going to be on relatively soon and once my other mods are done (exhaust, headlights, visors, tint, new front lip) i'll be searching for some new wheels, probably in early Feb. Would love to be a bit different and go for something a wild like 18x9 on the back..which hasn't been done on a CK in australia before. Been doing a lot of reading on US site v6p.net where 6th Gen modding is big and in terms of fitment 18x9 (+38) does work on a CK, just needs some guard rolling, minor camber, stretch tyres and some bumper tab modification...so pretty keen to try it...

    price is also a factor as the euro lux wheels I can get quite cheap and the other options may be a bit more expensive...
    I also understand my accord isn't a quick car, so not going for a "race-spec" style really, just more for looks as I'm going to be doing all thats possible to increase performance slighty on the CK regardless of wheel choice.

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Cheers
