I've seen a few people do it.  Here's what I found in about 30 seconds with a quick google search.

Seems like they would look pretty small, unless you have a pretty serious drop.  IMO they might look pretty out of place.  If you want to stick with a stock Honda/Acura wheel, there are plenty of better options out there (TL, TL-S, TL A-Spec, HFP Gen 8 Accord wheels, the list goes on)

That sounds like a smartass response to someone that was trying to help.

Either way, the ITR wheels you are asking about are very similar to Work CR Kai's. If you find pictures of those on a CM, you'll have a good idea.

Yeah but you're also not the first to say you've searched so you can understand where I'm coming from.

The part I bolded is what I took for a smartass response. Yes. Its the interwebz and what people are actually trying to say is left up to one's interpretation but I want you to understand where I'm coming from.

Honestly, I think they look small on the DC5 ITR, although they do look nice.  They would look even smaller on an Accord..

Yes they would look smaller on the accord since the wheel well is so big on the accords

My bad. I overlooked the Type R part.

I agree that the DC5R wheels would look kinda small on an Accord. You may be better off with the Accord Euro R wheels since they're 17's. The only pictures I could find of them were on CL7/9's and none on a CM.

ya the other thing is that the RSX type r wheels are 17's as well but they do look small

They are nice but pricey and hella weak offset. 

18x8.5" CR-Kais in my sig look almost identical to these and can be had for as much or cheaper.

Just beating the dead horse....  :D

Though the ITR wheels look good, they have fairly non-aggreeisve specs (IIRC 17x7 et +55 or +60).  In general, 17s look just a tad small because of the CM's oversized wheel well, unless paired with a fairly significant drop.  I also only have seen them on CL7/9s...
