I would say any 6-spoke gunmetal polished rims, or if you want to go for some 5-spokes ones, you'll like 18-inches of something like this:

..Saw it today afternoon in Sharjah too.. I don't have any idea of the price but 18" of these would look awesome. They're normally available in Chrome polish and they're usually seen on Supras'.

Where is the best place to go shopping for wheels? like the 18 to 19 inch sizes and how much does an average set cost?

Normally, in sharjah in the cheap places.. a set of 18 inch rims set you back 2000-ish dirhams (including the rubber).. If you go for *real* brands, you'll usually spend a bit more.

From another point of view, I got sharjah rims.. and I'm relatively happy with them.. They took a lot of abuse already, so yeah.. and I paid close to 3000 dhs.. yes, I get ripped off on a regular basis.

It's something an Emirati friend of mine once said. Dubai (GCC) is a place where you get ripped off on every corner if you don't watch out.

To get back onto topic.. kiler69, key a set of dark wheels.. dark wheels look good on golden cars.

I'm looking into Rota wheels.. just need to find a good design that will match the "theme" of my car..

I would prefer O.Z rims....even though its a bit costly...u can have the maximum out of it..........and gunmetal/smokegray will be far better for a golden accord........some of ma frenz have em.......and it luks awsome... :)
