newbie..
Hello. Im new to the honda, just got a 2001 Lx auto sedan last week. I can't decide if i should put in 16" or 17" wheels. I don't plan on lowering the car because of the winters here and don't want the ride to be rough. Even if i decide to lower the car in the future, i won't drop it more than an inch F/R both. Any suggestions?
I plan on putting in a cat-back exhaust system possibly Magnaflow, K&N panel air filter and headers but don't know which one.
any input would be highly appreciated!! thanks.

I personally like bigger rims, just make sure if you're not going to drop it that you get a big enough sidewall on your tires to close up that wheel gap.

Rep Power: 0 here are some pointers
if you are gonna be dealing with snow go 16" rims the thicker the tire the less you will feel. and it is true the bigger the rim is the owrse your acceleration will be. physics it takes more energy to turn a wheel when you increase its size.

Rep Power: 465 Have fun with your car, it's a good little car....
I have HP Racing header on mine, I enjoy it. As for wheels, I also have 17's... go for what you LIKE. Everyone has their own reasons for getting what they've got... so do what you like.
