Default Swap stock accord wheels

Ive got an 96 Accord EX and it has the wheels that look like this: http://www.hondaautobodypartst...0.JPG (I couldnt figure out how to put the pic in...sorry!) and I was wondering if I could find some another type of stock accord wheels that are lighter and better looking than the ones I have now. Oh yeah, and getting rims arent an option becuase I'm trying to save up for a new car. If anyone had any thoughts or advice, that would be really helpful.

Your post is just as, if not more, retarded than the guy in your avatar pic... You want lighter & better looking wheels, but rims are out of the question because your saving up for a new car.... wtf?

You're **** out of luck if you're not willing to buy anything but Accord rims.

'96 JDM ITR rims would be your best choice for stock rims. 11 LBS a piece.

Not cheap and not many places. I picked up my set locally for 400$ and that's pretty cheap.

rofl waffles, no those are not hub caps, those are actual alloy wheels. As to wheels, you kinda gotta pay to play, I picked up a set of the 7 spoke 94/95 ex wheels with brand new goodyear tires locally for 300 search around on craigslist, etc.

I meant if weight was a factor. What's the weight on those rims?

umm... for some reason 13lbs come to mind but I'm not 100% sure on that.

I know they weren't a heavy rim. I'll see if I can find the weight somewhere.

Edit:
well, after searching I can't find a site that lists the weight of the 94-95 EX rims. I know I've seen it I just can't recall what site it was. I did however find the JDM 96 ITR rims, between those lists and here on H-T, everyone lists/says those rims are 12 to 12.4 lbs. I'll keep searching...
