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..

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.

I wanted to follow up on my suggestion. I like the style of my Konig rims but I have had a big problem with the rims bending. They are alluminum and I have now had to buy a whole new set after one year of use. You need to deffinately do some research on how strong the metal is in the rims that your choose. This is very IMPORTANT.. I would hate to see this happen to someone else. So I with draw my suggestion. The Konig Imagine rims have not performed on my 96 Honda Accord sedan the way they should of. I hope you have better luck in finding a good rim.

always look at forged, cast, composite

regular aluminum is too soft for it to be a main contact between the car and the ground

Woah! Hey WBA I think you may have pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I did want something with a billet look but it seems that with the depth I want I'm not gonna get that AND the billets. No big deal.

How much would those run for a set?
