A Question About Rims - 4/26/2006 10:16:02 AM    Irish Kevin Posts: 20 Joined: 2/16/2006 Status: offline Okay. All the rims I've been finding for my 95 Accord LX are kinda lame. I have a pretty specific image in mind of what I want and I don't see anything that comes all that close. I think the best example with be the five-point rims that BMW puts on their higher end cars. Even some of the after market rims I've seen for BMW are really along the lines of what I want. The problem with this is the bolt pattern. I don't know if it can be done but does anyone know if there is a way to find adapters for this? I don't know where to look and I don't know if this is even possible. Here is an example of what I mean. I like the deep set rim and the way it sets out to meet the lip of the fender to make a nice solid fitting look. It's not the rim I want but it gives you an idea of what I'm looking for. I'd rather have something a little more elegent looking. Any suggestions would be appreciated. < Message edited by Irish Kevin -- 4/26/2006 10:58:53 AM > Post #: 1

Keep in mind that those rims are NOT the rims I'm looking for. The BMW 330 Ci is the car I've found that usually has the five-point rims I mean. I would even take THOSE rims if I could take off and replace the BMW centercap (in reply to sTeVo!) Post #: 3

I'm not sure if that's what your looking for style-wise. I know I've looked at dozens of online companies for wheels that I like and I've found about 6 wheels I like. It's tough. Show us some ideas, other than the Beemer, that you like.

They're the best I've found so far but I'd like something a little more sleek looking. Just a bit more elegent. Click here for the rims I'm talking about (in reply to stevephy) Post #: 5

RE: A Question About Rims - 4/26/2006 10:27:21 PM    Irish Kevin Posts: 20 Joined: 2/16/2006 Status: offline sTeVo!: Yeah. I like the billet look around the edge of the rims and I don't really like gunmetal. Since I plan on going nice and glossy black with my paint I want something bright to contrast the paint. Ledionofone: Yes, I know those are not stock rims. But they do get my point across. I like that deep look. What I was saying is I can't find anything like THAT or even like a stock BMW deep rim for the Honda. My bolt pattern is 4x114.3 so the BMW rims wont fit without adapters. Where can I find the adapters? All I'm really saying is that there aren't very cool rims for the Honda. I need a different bolt pattern so I can get the good stuff. I hope I cleared things up (in reply to legionofone) Post #: 8

RE: A Question About Rims - 5/17/2006 3:09:37 PM    benjiaccord Posts: 136 Joined: 2/2/2006 Status: offline The main issue that you need to remember is that you are looking at a BMW which is rear wheel drive, and you drive an Accord which is front wheel. It is amazingly easy to find the offset that you want if you have a rearwheel drive car, but with front wheel drive car the axles and/or the trailing arms are further away from the center line of the car. This limits the size of the offset that you can put on your car. For example, do you remember back in the mid 90s when people were putting wire rims on their honda's and they stuck out from the fender about 4 inches? That is because those wire rims had offsets for rear wheel cars, like caddies and mini trucks. I wish you the best of luck in finding a wheel that has what you are looking for, worst comes to worse, you can get custom made wheels, but expect to pay over 5gs for em. _____________________________ 1994 White EX 4door 5sp mt Matrix CAI cheapo exhaust Tein S.
