I 'downgraded' the 18's to 17's on my new Accord

I went the other way. I had 16" steelies with wheel covers on my 2010 Accord LX. They looked horrible.

So I went and bought a set of 18" take-off's from Honda Sport wrapped in OEM Michelin's. I love the increased handling. It's a bit more rough, but this car is really only driven on the highway and toll roads. If I lived in the city and was driving on nasty roads all the time, I'm sure I'd be hating these wheels.

Corvette, AMG Benz or BMW M5 should have 19 inch wheels due to the performance of car.
 
I've had 4 Accords and I found that the higher the aspect ratio(65 vs. 55)the smoother and more quiet the ride. The smoothest riding tire I've run is the Goodyear Assurance Comfort Tread Touring. Hope this helps.
