Default Thoughts on 18" DUB ESINEM Floaters

What are your thoughts of these floaters on a 4 cylinder 2002 accord coupe, what to think about, and keep in mind of, possibly too heavy for my car?

I'm curious to know.
someone is selling them for 1700 and they are 2 years old, 90% thread on Yokohama tires.

What lug pattern are they? Your accord probably has a 4x114.3 lug pattern or it could have a 5 lug swap with 5 x 114.3. Also what is the offset? If the offset isn't right you will have fitment issues as well.



As far as looks go. What does the rest of your car look like?

Is it pimped out with lifted suspension, a gold flake paint job, fuzzy dice and a blue velvet interior? If you answered yes to this. Then they will probably suit your car. whether or not they fit is a different story.

If it's not pimped out then I say leave them for the guys with the lifted domestics.

That bolt pattern is too small. Those rims are horrid looking anyway and it would be a disgrace to Honda if you put those on lol. For $1700 you could get brand new tires and lighter rims that actually look good.

If it's 4x100, the lug pattern is without a doubt too small. No way it would fit

Those in my opinion don't even begin to flow with the lines and style of the accord.

Hahah I know was just curious to see peoples thoughts.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3578/...30293e6b_o.jpg

This is my car without the rims and the hood rack, yet i have AMR coilovers.

I'm picky with rims and its hard to find a good set of 4x100. I dont really like black rims as they tend to look like winter steelies.
I was thinking BORBET TYPE A.
Any other ideas on what I should get, theres too many to choose from and I end up liking alot at the same time.

16" Borbet TYPE A REPLICA Wheel---- $880

Bolt : 4 x 100
OFFSET : 20 (front) 15 (rear)

LIP SIZE : 3 Inch (Front) 4 Inch (Rear)

Thats the ad, but ive come to realize would the offset of these rims be troublesome for me to put on my car. I believe stock offset for my car is 42, but not fully sure.

Are you listening? You CAN NOT USE 4x100! The accords are 4x114.3.

Did you pass math? 4x100=4x114.3 does not work.

I have a set of rims like that, they are usually listed to fit both 4 x 100 and 4 x 114.3. They also always have 8 mounting holes.

So if all the rims you like are 5 x 114.3 you could save up and do a 5 lug swap. A lot of people do it and the parts are readily available. There is a lot of information on what parts you need in the FAQ.

IMO rims are a personal choice. Just remember that not all universal rims with your bolt patten will fit in the wheel well of your Accord. Diameter, offset and width are key factors.

Can anyone tell me more about having fenders rolled&pulled.
My stock is high offset but i understand many low set rims make you need to have fenders rolled and pulled.
I do have amr adjustable coilovers, but whats your guys opinion if i were to roll and pull fenders, or better just to stick with rims with simliar offset.
I notice many low offset tend to be either deep dish or concave.
these rims offset is 25.
