Hey guys, just popping in with a question here.

I've got a Honda Accord LX '96 and personally, the caps sicken me. Not only are they scratched up, but they could use a nice replacement. Anyhow, I've been researching this, and I've found that Honda makes their own rims "special" so that you can't buy any out there to replace them. What makes it worse is that Honda only makes one kind of rim for the Accord 96, which I have a 15".

So really, I wish I could get some wheel covers, but it seems I cannot. If someone could point me to some that look good and can work on an Accord LX '96, 15", that would be awesome.

Otherwise, I'm going to have to replace the old with some new mag wheels. The problem here is that I'm on a very tight budget, and I need something that looks good, with a fair enough quality, that will fit, work, and be fairly cheap. If I can't get any wheel covers, please let me know if you guys know any good but cheap wheels that I can use.

Thanks much guys.

 

How much are you willing to spend?

This seller is offering excellent deals on Rota wheels, and the GT3, Subzero, and another type (i forget the name) are offered in 4x114.3, the accord bolt pattern.

Most people find Rotas cheap imitations of popular wheels that cost over 1000 dollars, but I have them, and theyre cheap, lightweight, and look good.

Exactly what you need!

They're offered in 15-16 for most applications, and the subzero goes up to 18" I believe.

 

Thanks, those are pretty good. Again, I'm still on a tight budget, so anything cheaper is good. But thats still a good find.

 

Just pick up some 5th gen ex wheels, look awesome (IMO)

 

I'm sorry, but I'm a bit of a newb trying to learn the ways of this scene. What do you mean by 5th generation ex?

94-97 accords are the 5th generation of the accord, and the ex is the trim level of the car. i.e. ex, lx, dx

 

Ok, thanks. But specifically, anyone know any good places to get cheap 5th gen ex wheels? I wish Honda made some, but they stuck with hubs.

 

ebay, car-part.com maybe... Youll probably end up paying just as much as Rota's would cost...

 

I have a set of these laying around, if you'd want them PM me.

They looked good with low profile tires and a 2.5 inch drop.

 

hey i see u live in napperville i come to wheaton alot!!! and i have 2 sets of accord wheels, the 97 specail editions(5 spokers) and the 94 ex's(7 spoker) no tires on them there both 15" i could come down there if u wanted them make me an offer on them!?

 

Hey TSAF and Ridex, your offers sound good, and I'll consider them. I'll get back to you guys on this in a bit... and after I can somehow be a member and not just on a trial verson and get the PM ability.
