A Question About Rims

Irish Kevin -> A Question About Rims (4/26/2006 10:16:02 AM)
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.

i'm not seeing a picture on the link [:(]... i'm curious as to which ones you're talkin about - that sounds like what i've been looking for...

Well, I fixed the link by uploading the pic to my photobucket site. 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

I know RonJon http://www.ronjonwheels.com/wheels.html has some nice wheels. 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. StevePhy

These are decent. 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

sTeVo! -> RE: A Question About Rims (4/26/2006 4:29:53 PM)
yeah, kinda what i've been looking for, only i'd like to see the five star flattened out, ditch the rivets, and make it in gunmetal and you've got a buyer...

legionofone -> RE: A Question About Rims (4/26/2006 7:53:27 PM)
u do know that those rims on that bmw are aftermarket... right.. they are deepdished... and are very nice... just look up ur cars bolt specs and go on the hunt... also check and see if BMW has the same bolt patern 5x100 is very common...

Irish Kevin -> RE: A Question About Rims (4/26/2006 10:27:21 PM)
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

sTeVo! -> RE: A Question About Rims (4/28/2006 11:54:08 AM)

I wanted to suggest Konig rims they have rims that look like bmw rims. I have been told by many people around town that my Accord looks like a bmw. I have 17" Konig Imagines. Hope this will help..

benjiaccord -> RE: A Question About Rims (5/17/2006 3:09:37 PM)
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.
