Default 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.

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.
