Default Random Accord factory wheels...!? Anyone seen these before?

Some punks decided to steal my factory 7 spoke wheels off my '94 Accord while I was sleeping, so I replaced them with these ones for a good deal...

They are exactly the same as the ones I had, but gunmetal grey instead of silver and they are 15 x 6, not 15 x 5.5...I'm just curious if this was an option or something on the CD5's?? I have NEVER seen these in this color before.

Regardless, they were cheap and I like how they look with the dark green paint ...

WOW! those look so nice. Gunmetal! It does look nice.

Did you buy it new or used? Either someone sprayed painted it or just years of wear or something... They do look nice.

No, they definitely are not sprayed...If they are, someone did a REALLY good job. I bought 'em from a used Honda parts store in town that buys a lot of JDM stuff...The tag on them claimed they are CD6 JDM Accord wheels. I don't care if they are really JDM or not -- I just loved the color and the fact that they seem to be extremely rare.

It's also odd that they are 1/2" an inch wider than the silver ones I had...

Hopefully someone on here has some insight/history on these things!

I'm not sure about the powder coating as well...Besides the color difference, the triangle shapes between the spokes are a bit different than the silver ones I had and the embossed writing on the wheels reads 15 x 6 and 50 (offset, I'm guessing?) instead of 15 x 5.5 and 50.

Check out the area in between the spokes toward the outside of the wheel. These don't have the inset flat area that the stock '94 Accord wheels have, so I don't think they are just powdercoated USDM wheels.
