accord 2.0 vtec se
hi
looking to change the wheels on my accord. currently on 15" 4x114.3 standard honda wheels.
i was wanting to go to 16" or 17" without spending a fortune but this pcd is hard to get wheels for.
i have seen wheels on 200sx which are same pcd.
anyone any pics of there car with different wheels on?
 
Hi mate,

There's a fair few wheels out there that will fit - 4th gen Preludes have a 4x114.3 stud pattern for example.

Apologies for the rubbish photo, but here's my 6g sitting on some 17 inch BK's off my Prelude

IMO the large wheels don't really suit it, I prefer the stock ones :)

;)
 
I think that the 16 inch from the sport edition which resembles the ones from the TypeR are the best looking wheels for our cars.

I have those 15 inch and I also like them allot, but it would look better if they were 16".
BTW, does anyone have a picture of an accord using those 15 inch wheels painted in gray or anthracite? Always were curious too see how they look in a darker color ;)
 
I'm on my standard SE Sport 16's, and I love 'em! Gives fantastic acceleration too with the H22.

Haha yeah, they looked alright on my Prelude, but on my Accord it's a no :lol:

I had to swap the wheels between the cars though as I needed sensible wheels on the Prelude for winter.

The 6g Accord is still over at my parents, I haven't had a lot of time to work on it sadly :( My Golf is in the garage being rebuilt currently, however once it's sorted the Accord will be flat bedded over and will go in for some intensive work! I just need to pull my finger out with the Golf really :lol:

I'm in 2 minds these days though - not sure whether to go H22A, or put in a JDM F22B non VTEC, as they're good foundations for a turbo build... More work and expense though!!
 
I've got 16" BBS wheels with 205/50 tyres on mine, went down the 18" route with 35 profile tyres and it did my head in on a lowered car hence i now rock 16's.



My boy has prob got 6's on his Alfa pedal car, any bigger and it wouldnt ride right on my carpet. :lol: :lol: :lol:

That looks like a cracking motor Dale and yours looks tasty as well :lol: .

I've got a few things to do to mine including Genuine Honda front and rear bumper bottom lips, a Type R rear spoiler and Skirts and of course the rear exhaust from yours truly :) .

Oh, and some 16" alloys.

When I've done all that I'll put up some piccies.

Regards,
Pete.

How stiffer does it get when compared to the normal springs?
