Guys,

I have an opportunity to buy these genuine honda blade 18" wheels new from a honda dealer for a fraction of the normal cost.

1. I still await conformation from the dealer that these will fit on my car....

2. Do you all think they will suit the Accord??

Very nice james go for it mate
 
oooooh so tempted now. :D
 
Seen those on ebay from Barnsely Honda. I was looking at those earlier this evening. Nice price, but I believe they're stock clearance hence their price.

Personally I dont think they'd suit the Accord but if you're happy mate... B)

they are indeed but i decided to cheat and ring them to get a better offer! They have 18" Storm alloys at the same price so i'm torn between the 2??? :unsure:

Did debate if these would look right on the car.

Storms suit the car IMHO, but personally I'm not a fan of those either. I'd like the Type-S wheels to be honest - but considering how much I splurged on the body kit, I have to wait a bit! :lol:
 
Dont like Storm

Totally agree mate 18" wheels are a must for the 8th gen IMO because of the flared wheel arches ;)
They need this to fill the gap or a drop would also be good.
 
They look smart man.

Break like Kit Kat :lol:
 
Nice wheels. I was actually looking at those on ebay last night. :D

Have you found any difference with the handling and feel of the car? Does it still soak up the bumps as well?

Im a big fan of the Delta. I'm not sure if I could cope with the extra cleaning though but the do look good

Racy... car drives just the same to be honest, a little more road noise but with low profiles thats what you get. These are a bit wider than the standard 17" rims, i have 235/40/18 tyres mounted on them at the moment as thats all i could get my hands on and comparing like for like with the old wheels there is no difference in size! I think i will put some 235/45/18 on when i can save a bit of cash. Honda recomended 45 profile.

By the way most dealers have these rims for sale and if you push you can get a bargin.

Ooo! Its tempting but a remap is top of my list at the minute. ;) I've got such a big list of things I want to do but my funds are servilely limited. I knew joining an owners club again would bring back bad habbits :rolleyes:
