Hey everyone,
I'm considering purchasing aftermarket rims for my 08 Accord. Several sites that I looked at recommend the tire pressure monitoring system kits for the aftermarket rims. Are these worth purchasing or should I hold out and just get my TPMS light disabled? Let me know what you think. Thanks

You spent how much on the car and you're looking to ignore a safety feature to save a couple hundred bucks? Get the TPMS for the aftermarket rims.
Oh, and you might want to put your yr and model in your signature. it helps when addressing problems.

Have you guys looked at the new accord rims? The LX-P version has 16 x 6.5 and the EX-Ls have 17 X 7.5. I want to get aftermarket rims that are flushed with the fender or at the most 1/2" from the fenders. What wheel width do you recommend? Thanks

Why don't you try the OEM Honda Accessory wheels? They are 19 x 8.

I was looking into the Honda rims but some of the places online say it wont fit my model. Another thing is cost of the rims, the sites that sell the honda rims are asking 300+ per rim only whereas tire rack offers an assortment of rims priced from 200 - 300 bucks. I'm still looking around. Thanks for your response.

You could also look at some quality rims instead of those low cost models that your looking at..you buy a quality car ...then you put on Quality Wheels to keep the Quality Look...

No, No,No, No...you can't disable that TPMS...
some of those TPMsensors cost up wards of $200 each...they are there for a purpose..even if you have your tires rotated...they have to be reset by your tire shop..This is the cost of buying New Cars...always a problem...

Can TPMS be transfered from one set to another? I have the TPMS on my tc, but the previous owner apparently was really good at getting VERY close to the curb when parallel parking. All of the rims' lips are chapped!!!! I've considered the TRD rims, but I like some others more ..... can you say Momo?
