You should post a photo of the rims, maybe someone could identify them for you.

Suggestion, kfed. Unlike the other ex-Britney Spear's 'kfed' you should present yourself properly on the internetz. I corrected a few things in your post as seen above.

tunner = tuner
seen = scene
new = New
vtech = vtec
rims = wheels
Idk = I do not know

You also give absolutely no information the wheels, size, brand, type, a picture, cap size, anything really. How is anyone going to read your mind and figure out what wheels you have? Posting an image is the exact same as any other forum. You upload it to wherever (Facebook, imageshack, etc) then get the URL ending in .jpg/.gif/.png/etc and use image tags to post. Or click the little picture icon in the Post Editor and enter the URL there. Without giving brand, type, pictures, etc of the wheel your quest for center caps is worthless.

There are picture threads on this site (in Appearance/Cosmetic) along with others forums that are 5th gen specific. One I would recommend is HondaSociety.

For spoiler, I'd do an SiR or a Mugen flushmount ones. They're the best looking ones for our 5th Gen Accords.

Examples:

SiR:

Much better, we'll see what we can dig up. Just from looking at them they look like they're probably 4x100/4x114 which would suggest them being something more like a Rota or other cheaper/noname wheel brand.

For other users,



Car looks good Kenneth. Welcome to the forums.

The other thing to do - measure the diameter of the center cap area and see what it is - you may be able to use just some OEM Honda caps.

*edit*

Also if you take the wheel off, most have a stamp on the back somewhere that has the brand or style of wheel.
