The title pretty much says it. Last week we updated our fleet by replacing a 99 Accord EX I4 with a 07 Accord EX I4. It's a long story, but basically, the 99 was my younger sister's car and she had been wanting to get a newer car for awhile now and she has expressed interest in my blue 03 Accord V6 ever since I bought it back in Sept of 06. She ended up taking over the payments on my blue 03 and I used the 99 as a trade and took advantage of the 07 Honda Clearance and got myself a sweet deal on a brand new 07 Accord EX sedan. Here's the trade..

The second day I had it, I took the 17's off my 03 and swapped them with the stock 16's on the 07, but after a few days I swapped them back because the ride felt better with the stock 16's back on.

You should have kept those V6 6MT wheels. The Accord looks so nice with them.

I can always swap the 6mt rims back onto the 07. I have Yoko Avid V4's on the 6mt rims and they flatspot like crazy and it seemed to be more noticeable on the 4cyl than it was on the the 03 V6. With the 6mt rims on the 07 I was also getting a vibration in the front end around 55-60mph that I never noticed when they were on the 03 V6, and I have the tried rotating the tires to different positions on the car, but no luck. When I get the chance I might try to get them rebalanced and see if that fixes it, but for now it's just easier to keep the oem 16's on it.

I like the 06'-07's without the spoiler. The looks seems to flow better without it, but hey, its just my opinion. If you want, get it. Just don't slap one of those A$$ ugly aluminum ones on!:thumbsdow

They just need to be re-balanced is all. Take them to where you bought your tires to get it done. Thats where vibration happens from usually. un balanced tires. Let me know if that works.
