Default Question from Newbie

Hey guys and gals,

I purchased a 2005 LX this past Friday and I'm eager to replace the wheel covers with actual wheels. The car is silver with 30K and in great shape! I'm excited as this is my first Honda.

Anyways, I want to keep the OEM look with the rims below (found on another thread). Can anyone tell me which model these were found on and where I can purchase (for less money than the dealership)? Sorry, I'm sure this is a novice question.

I appreciate the help in advance, you guys have some nice cars!

That's my car. The rims came stock on the 03 and 04 EX V6 Sedan and Coupe. I think you can get the wheel/tire combo from HandA pretty cheap. Or you could find someone who had these, and bought new wheels. Either way, you should get a good deal on them. Here's the link for HandA.

Wow, fast reply and I found just the guy I was looking for. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. To your knowledge, should these fit an 05 LX (currently has 15" wheels)? I was hoping to find someone on the site who was willing to sell, that would be much easier than junk yard seaching.

I'm sure there are some 03-04 V6 owners out there who have bought new wheels. Have you checked the want to buy/for sale thread (if there is one)? And oh yes! They will fit on your car. I love my wheels, because they are easy to clean, and actually make the sedan look sporty. I actually thought about painting them gun-metal.

Contact me directly and I will buy them when you're ready. I'm assuming the wheels themselves are in good condition with no major curb rash? Where are you located (trying to determine shipping costs)? I'm in Eastern, PA.

I hope you didn't misunderstand the last message, I'm still interested in the rims but I realized your location, so need to reply on that.

Essentially, I'm just going for the same...a smooth, clean look that doesn't take too much away from the factory look. I'd prefer OEM but if I can find something else comparable, I'd be up for that option too. Remember JB55, if you find rims, PM me and I'll buy yours (assuming we can come to an agreement).
