Default What to do? (wheel/susp q) [56k beware!]

I recently dropped my car.
Right now I'm on stock rims (15'') and thats all I really know about em ;p

I'm riding on Yokohamas (dunno what type/etc cuz im a newb)

I need suggestions (and info) on wheels, tires, rims, sizes of em all etc.

Also want to know if its too low

Any info as to what offset I have, how to find, and exactly what it is would be cool, and what rim size/tire specs would fit nicely etc,

Sorry I suck so bad

Oh yeah, and I know my car needs to get washed, savin it for saturday !!!

even an 18 with a little tire will fit nicely and look damn good to.

As far as the front looks, is it alright?

I put in some tenzo springs to drop it (bought it from a guy her on vadriven) and he wasnt sure on the drop, so I'm gonna say 2'' - 2.5'' drop.

Would rims really make the front look better?
And anyone got a link to something around the lines of "basic tire/rim info?"

Wanna figure out what kind of low profiles are out there, what exactly offsets are, etc...


That is, if the front looks bad at all, my taste is distorted cuz I did the drop myself ;p

it all has to do with you and what you want... whats your budget? and are you going for flash or just a clean stock look?

if i were you i'd look for a nice polished OEM 16 inch wheel. maybe find some wheels off of a TL and swap out the center caps. maybe an old legend of a premium edition accord. something that isnt so straight and boxy if you know what i mean.

if you want flash... try tirerack.com they have some decent stuff and you can see what it looks like on your body style.
