I wanted to know what u guys thought about my rims dilemma. I can get 02 SE rims that look like this.


for about $350 picked up brand new w/ caps in honda boxes. or get some 96-97 CW ITR wheels from password jdm for about $500 with tires.

But tires isnt a biggie here cause I got a brand new set of 15" michelins right now, and most likely the tires on the itrs will be worn, so what do u guys think?

Please post pics if u guys have got rides with those rims or just have pics with 5th gens with them rims.

Also, My sedan is a 96 v6 frost white not dropped yet, w/ jdm stanley black housing and a real mugen grille. later

 

IMO go with the 02' SE wheels . I have em on the 96ex and they look great with a 2.25" drop. I would post pics but I am unable to do so at this time.

edit: ahh, here is an old link, pics kinda suck

Th 02' SE wheels will suit the 5th gen nicely, they look similar to the factory 7 spoke accord alloys from the 94/95 model. They also look exactly like the 8 spoke JDM 6th gen accord wheels.

One question, what does CW mean in this sentence? 96-97 CW ITR wheels

Championship White.

 

here im gonna post AccordCD5's ride.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks for that xpsonic - couldn't think of it for the life of me.

Not a big fan of the itr wheels on the accord. They are only 15's and they have a lip - they look like 14's on the car because of this.

Just my opinion.

Here's an accord on ITR's. I think it's teamblends car before he swapped wheels. I know I got it off HS.

i'd say SE rims, i've been wanting a set for my 6th gen for a while...

 

i thought integra wheels were a different size then accords? like 4 x 100 and 4 x 120 or something... sorry for the noob question.

 

The ITR wheels are 4x114.3, normal integra wheels are 4x100.

Later model ITR's from around 98 are 5x114.3.

Raz

 

1996 is the only model year ITR that has 4x114.3

 

i like both, and have considered picking up some ITR wheels after seeing the above car a few months ago....SE wheels are always popular too

 

I tried finding SE wheels in my area before I bought the wheels I have now... I love how they look on 5th gens.

 

Just got some new toys, wanted to post them up!!!

NICE!

I personally like the stock 94-95 rims. Just pop off the cap and it looks great! The 96-97 5 spoke gunmetal twists look awesome too.

Id get the hype ARRRRRR rims in your case.

I miss my 5th gen.

 

Hard decision that's why i had both sets before.

se rims are heavier than 96spec itr wheels.

IMO get the itr wheels, it's less common.

i sold mine(itr) for around 300

wow....id like to find some for that price

 

same here.

 

OH WAIT!!!!

The offset of the itr wouldn't clear the front caliper, so you'll need to...

1)shave the caliper with a BIG **** metal file

OR

2)buy a 3mm spacer from me

 

what is the offset?

 

yea that is true u need to get spacers to make them fiton a 5th gen, but i would still get them over the 02 se, just a nicer look to me

 

Go with Accord SE wheels.

 

im leaning towards the se rims too cause they are cheaper and brand new!

 

teamblend has had both of those and also mugen wheels on his ride and is now back to the SE's.

i personally like the i think they are 99-00 SE's kinda look like SI's
