98-02 rims question

i am on the verge of buying an 02 accord coupe. and the rims look like these



but im lookin for the rims that i see on most accords that look something like this



can someone explain which accords came with which rims? it seems as if the earlier ones came with the ones i want and the newer ones came out with the one on top. and is it me or does the 2nd one look much better.

cant say i really like either ones but if i had to choose i would say the second ones...why not just buy some cool aftermarket ones though?

thought about that and might do it,but i want something pretty simple, not too crazy and not trying to look like a street racer or anything. heres a better pic of the rims


and yeah it would suck to have to shell out a bunch of money to change one set of stock rims to another set of stock rims

and again, anyone know which models came with which rims? thanks

Im lookin on KBB and from what i found so far.. it looks like the only model that came with the rims you dont care for was the 02 EX coupe... not 100% on that tho

They're the most basic V6 rim, so probably all V6's came with them unless someone opted for the others.

yea i got those... its the 4cyl accord ex coupe. btw i need another pair of rims for my baby because when i purchased the car the hot chick driving that sold it to me destroyed the rims. but yea answering ur question its the 4cyl accord ex coupe.
 
 
Goodluck.

hmm you mean the first one is on the v4s? hmmm, the accord im lookin to buy is a v6 with the first set of rims

Jkilla .... you too .... the dealer told me that the woman that had my car turned it in because "she had no business being behind the wheel of a manual"  Needless to say, all 4 rims are trashed and there's a chunk missing from the sidewall of one of the tires ..... paint damage on both bumpers and a license plate mark 1/4" deep on the front bumper.  IDK if I'm going to fix the bumpers or get a body kit.  I found one that I mostly like, but not really feeling the back bumper .... it's an 8 piece wide-body .... I want to fit 8.5" rims.
 
 
Brooklyn ..... v4's are only on bikes.  H4's are in Subies and Porches.  Everything else has an i4 .... inline.

HAHA! yea dude... this chick was slamming but other then that she took chunks out fo each wheel... it had a complete circle around the wheel scratched till no tomorrow. it cant get worse then how it is now.. and she busted the back of her bumper as well haha i had to get it fixed cause 3 weeks later a gypsy cab hit me from behind and ripped my hole rear bumper off cost be 880 to fix but the cabs insurence company paid for it :)...Im looking for a body kit sometime before summer. And yes brooklynaccord its on the i4's

thanks. weird that the guy has a v6 with v4 rims...

i like the second rims that come standard on the V6 accords. You can get those rims at a local honda dealership or ebay man, but the thing is is that those will cost you just as much as buying some regular rims...you know you don't have to buy racing rims, you can get the stylish 18" luxury chrome one's.
 
For some odd reason EVERY car dealerships usually are high in price!

Ummmmm there is no way in hell that I-4 rims are going to fit on a V6.
 
If you look it up, the I-4's bearing is 4 lugs while V6 is 5 lugs.
 
SO its impossible for that hypothesis you're making. the rims within that generation accord is not universal, the V6 has its own set of rims and I-4 have there own.

yea exactly i have the i4 and the rims that came stock with my car which is an i4 are the second ones. Not sure if u were talking to me horsepower

huh, so these came with your i4?

yes the I-4 has those rims also BUT there of a 4 lug pattern. the V6 is a 5 lug pattern. i believe the "alloy" wheels came out for the I-4 version on the last year which was 2002.
 
So unless you going to drill a hole into those rims(which would be retarded and risky) i suggest you just found a crashed V6 at a junkyard and buy those stock rims...
 
and stop calling it V4 lmao...theres no such thing as a V4,its I-4.lol you make yourself look quite foolish LOl not trying to be rude

but like i told you,buying those rims can be a little costly...here's a link to ONE SINGLE RIM on sale on ebay...

sorry didnt see this post when i posted my reply.. yeah those rims look real nice. wonder how they would look in real life on that accord. something ill consider though. isnt that kinda cheap for chrome rims? and i dont really see seibrings with nice rims

but yeah im still trying to figure out why the v6 accord that i am looking at has the rims in the first pic. did v6s get made with those rims as well?

thats because the V6 in the first picture is a later model or it could be the trim...haven't you ever noticed that with most cars depending on the trim they tend to have different set of wheels...the accords I-4 DX version runs on hubcaps,while the SE(special edition) I-4 will have alloy wheels.so its nothing special, its just the trims. remember theres DX,LX,EX,and SE(which are rare).
 
AND HELL YEAH THEY"LL LOOK GOOD ON YOUR CAR!!TRUST ME!!I wouldn't steer you wrong, ask sinsta...i helped him out a little and his rims are looking mad clean.he has black with chrome.and there cheap because its ebay.
 
Look just take my word, get some chrome rims in 18 inch. Seeing how you don't want a racing look, most chrome rims are more focused on the luxury side.
 
Number one, you'll save WAY MORE
 
Number two, you'll save time
 
ANd Number three, your accord will be looking real good. Black accords look hella sexy with chrome rims

i think chrome rims usually look good on somethin more fancy than an accord like a lexus gs or somethin, but yeah i think i might just go for it assuming i get the car. these rims would actually cost me more though considering the price isnt that far off and id have to get new tires and all, but its all good. does "sinsta" have the same rims? and do u have pics of his accord or any accord with crhome rims? also do u know how much it would cost to have a shop switch the rims up for me (i probably shouldnt do it myself?)

sinsta has an 08 accord and he has 20" rims.
 
if you go on the other thread "wheels and rims" you'll find him, aimlessly posting reponses to threads he has a black accord..
 
and are you kidding there are billions of accords...heres some links...

and thats only a few...theres trillions more...
 
and for new tires i'd suggest 225/40 R18 which will be around 250 on ebay...and to install usually shouldn't cost much if you go to one of those little mini shops with the machine because all it is, is putting the tires on the rim and then putting them on. So i'd say a good 800 dollars...and its up to you...i wouldn't place stock rims on a car with stock rims already....kind of retarded if you ask me

here i am..and theres a pic of my accord on my avatar...thanks horsepowerjunkie..lol

what would i do in my case since i got a silver 02 coupe 2 door? Tough oneee eyy!!! :)

yours is easy.put some hyper silver HP rims. here is the perfect rims for your color
