While I want to replace the 15" steelies with plastic covers, I want to maintain a smooth ride (ie, I don't want wheels larger than 16") and I don't want my speedometer to be inaccurate.

I am kinda torn between just getting some genuine Honda wheels or going aftermarket - with this latter option, I am just worried about proper fitment and durability without breaking the bank (ie, no BBS multi-piece wheels).

I like several looks: 7 spokes with wide spokes, split 5 or 6 spokes, and mesh wheels....all in either silver paint or gunmetal (no chrome for me).

I like two models of the Accord factory wheels: the 7 spoke wheel that came on the EX V6 from 2003-2005 and the split 5 spoke that comes on the EX models today (both are 16" I believe)

I want something nice and slightly original (that is, if I don't just get factory wheels) but I don't want my car to look pimped out or anything.

Below is my Accord and some of the wheels that I am looking at...


I need to spend less than $500 total for wheels.

PS - will regular Honda center caps snap into most wheels?

OK, I photoshopped some of these on to my car to see what they'd look like. (btw, I used my 15" wheels as a guide, so these might look a little smaller than they would in real life).

Thoughts?


TSW Kyalami

Rial Como

 

Rial Como would look so hot in black

 

Yeah...I'd love it in gunmetal, but they don't make em in that color.

What about these?

 

those are pretty sweet. Im in the same boat for my wifes car, which is identical to yours(color and wheels). I just put a factory spoiler on it and I found a factory set 5 spoke off of an EX for $400 includes tires(65%). I like what you did with photoshop. I mess with it a lot, but dont know if I know how to "rotate" an image like that. the smaller spokes look a little "mamaw-papaw" to me, but I like the last ones you put up

 

Love the Riols. A lot.

 

4 and 5

 

I like the TSW's because they are light, strong and look really good on any car ...
