Yes, the economy thrives on people who throw away their money on unnecessary items just because it will make them happy.😉
 
Stick with your 16s.

Usually to move up in rim size you have to adjust the aspect ratio of the tire in order to stave off adjusting your speedo.
Depending on where you drive that may make your tires very low profile and susceptible to damage of the rim etc.
 
am i the only one that would like to downsize? i'd like to go from 16's to 15's on my truck. cheaper tires. 😀

Going from factory 15's to factory 16's will have the tire size already adjusted. You're not losing that much sidewall height actually, he would not be causing many (if any) problems with potentially damaging the wheel.

Also 16" is standard on the EX series..
 
You can browse various accord forums and usually get near new OE 16" wheels/tires for 400 or less. Like getting free rims with a new set of tires.

That's not always the case though. All you have to watch out for is the total diameter (which I'm sure you already know).
