I'd be skeptical of the non staggered deal. Some rims I am considering are only available non staggered and I really don't think that's a good route to go on this car, unless you want it to be really tailhappy.

I suggest getting something that is going to look good with your existing berlina and your next year's pearl white ?

Yeah, you have to get staggered!

My 18s are 7.5 front, 9 rear with 50 and 55 offset, respectively, and love them.

Given Honda Canada's past, I would expect white to be discontinued at the end of this year and an all new colour to appear next. Hopefully Monte Carlo blue, but I'm not holding my breath.

the 2 wheels would look good with either color


So is a 17x7 and 17x8 a good staggered setup (sorry my knoweldge in rims is limited)

this two rims doesn't look that good... try finding something like advan RG or buddyclub p1 QF..with spokes curving outwards might look better than these two models..
