From what I see on the official Honda website, 2018 Accord comes with an option of 17" aluminum-alloy wheels for LX and EX-L trim levels, and 19" aluminum-alloy wheels for Sport and Touring version. As for me, that's a great set of wheels and I love to see that the trim level that I'm planning to get have them in 19-inch size!
What do you think about them?
My default has always been to keep factory wheels as my beater wheels and then an aftermarket set for summers. Looking at my options, once lowering springs come out, I might get a set of Vossen VPS-307's.

I wish that HFP had better options for us, similar to what you would find from "JDM" tuning brands because what better to get these than from the people who designed the car. I always felt the new Accord could use some "JDM" flare.
Those look great in matte grey! I still remember the old wheels with plastic hub caps back in the day.
I'd assume the larger 20' would improve handling and cornering grip.
Those are indeed nice wheels.
I bet they can look even better if someone creative was to apply a color scheme to them, even a little stripe that hints towards HFP or Honda's Motorsports Division.
The Tire Rack website has all the info you need to change wheel diameter while retaining the overall OD with correct offset and tire size. They offer several brands of wheels and tires mounted and balanced for installation. I also have a set of 19” OEM wheels off my 2018 Sport 2.0 for sale. 2500 miles, no issues in SW Ohio.

I have a '18 Touring 2.0T that came with 19" wheels and Michelin tires. Love everything about this car but had I know would have chosen a different wheel size. The 19" wheels leave too small of a tire sidewall so if you scrape a curb you scrape the wheel and the tire.
I got my ‘18 Accord Touring with 19” wheels less than a month ago. I live in NJ where our roads suffer badly after a snowstorm. Last night I was driving and hit my 3rd pothole that caused a 3rd flat tire in a 2 week span. All 3x it was the front right tire (passenger front).
My first pothole...
Second year and 4 out of 4 rims now have curb rash! I had one last year and had it repaired for something like $230 with tax. I might as well swap everything out and put some decent rubber on. Thing is, none of the rims on Tirerack strike my fancy. The Touring 19" rims seem to not stick out...
How many of you guy or gals have tried brake boosting, I’ve tried it it feels like the throttle just cuts out. Idk if I’m doing it wrong or what. Any tips ?
So, here’s my question....and it is complex.
Changing to wheels/tires that save 15lbs per corner are definitely going to improve acceleration, assuming same tires.
It is also supposed to improve handling...unsprung weight and so on.
However, playing devils advocate, it’s also raising the...
