do you know if it will come with the illuminated multi-function steering wheel?

also, do you know if the new wheel design for the luxury model is this (also note the new "deep green" colour which i think only JDM gets):

or perhaps this?:

I prefer the five spoke rims on the silver one more.

So not fair...17" for luxury and full sized spare. Oh well, I did get the Accord around a year ago...

The one on the bottom looks awesome!! Very similar to the aftermarket rims I have on my current ride.

Looks like it's time to pay the showroom a visit!

Those pics are nice but are not a stock Euro with 17" - those pics are lowered Euros at least 1".

When will the 2005 models be on the market for sale ?

are you sure? those pics came straight off Honda Japan's website. I may be wrong, but i don't think they would lower their cars for stock-model photography...

you can check for yourself, heres the link: http://www.honda.co.jp/auto-lineup/a...yle/index.html

maybe because they are low-profile, u may think the car looks lowered...

Sorry - I should clarify - they are legit Honda pictures but they are not what your Aus delivered Honda Accord Euro will look like with 17" rims. I don't think Honda has changed the suspension on the 05 model - the wheel arch gap will look more like this (my ride - no suspension mods)...I wish mine had the small gap in those photos -- see what I mean? The pics you are showing are the same drop as a Eibach Prokit. It could be trick photography or it could be a different suspension set up

is it already out?

yfin:wow the gap between the two is quite noticable... another thing is the bodykit mite add to this 'lowered' illusion...

to everyone else: do you guys like the look of these 7-spoke wheels? would u rather have this design or a 17" version of the ones that come with the 03/04 euro's?

i reckon the nicest wheels for the euro are the Acura TSX's "Silverstar" wheels...

Nah mate - that wouldn't have anything to do with it. We're talking about the gap between the top of the tyre and the guard

Both the 7-spoke and 5 double spoke rims looks good imo. The 7-spoke seems more 'elegant', whereas the 5 double spoke seems more 'sporty'.
