03 LX upgrades
Hello all, this is my first post. I'd like to make a few upgrades to my 03 LX. Can I replace my cheap hubcap wheels with the nice wheels pictured here:

Also, does anyone know if there is an aftermarket dual exhaust for the 4cyl LX? Is it possible for something like that?
Thanks!

Those wheels are pretty pricey, you could get a decent set of aftermarket wheels that would probably weigh less for the same price.
I got a set of Falken Hanabis in 17" that weigh 17 lbs for 530 shipped, which is cheaper than the ones you've picked.
You can go onto tirerack.com and put in your car and see different types of wheels on there and see what styles you like, or maybe even pick a wheel off there. Hint though: try to keep the weight of the wheel low. I wouldnt get a 17 that weighed more than 21 lbs, and definitely a 16 that weighed 20, etc.
Any 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheel with the right width and offset to match your car (close to stock offset should be 40-45 and in general aftermarkets will fit from 35-50) will be fine, and the tirerack lists only wheels that will fit directly onto your car. Any wheel from a 5 lug accord will fit, and the Honda Factory Performance wheels are pretty sick
About the duals, I wouldnt go dual exhaust cause it doesnt do anything and it adds more weight, but you can get a muffler shop to custom fab you one if you want. Make sure it's stainless steel and mandrel bent!

I agree with accordselux if your going to spend that much on wheels I would look into aftermarket, unless you want the stock look??
As far as dual exhaust it is going to be very hard to find a company that produces a dual for the Accord LX, possibly Magnaflow. If you are looking for a dual exhaust your best bet is to find a muffler that you like and purchase two, then go to the exhaust shop and have everything welded up, again like accordselux said. A good seller on ebay that is an authorized dealer for Magnaflow is performance peddler and here's a link to their ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Perform...QtZkm
and I am not associated with them I just got an awsome deal on my muffler and cat so I am recommending them.
Best of luck.

Yes, i agree with speedfreak, I have bought several exhaust components for my project Civic from performancepeddler.com and they have had the best prices i've seen, and very good customer service... A decent muffler on there (without tip, stainless steel) will run you maybe 70 apiece depending on the style you want, then youre able to pick the tip that you prefer, and have a local shop put it all together for you.
Good luck!
