Default Anyone try this rim on your car?

Anyone of you ever tried this 4 lugs COBRA wheel on your Honda Accord? Mine is 4 lugs and I do not know if this kind of Rim fit well on my car or not.

Can you give me a suggestion? or any kind ideas related to 4 lugs 18 inches Rin on the Honda Accord 2002?

Thank you guys

Do some research on the bolt pattern for your car. I think those fox bodys are a 4x108. Many 4-lug hondas are 4x100, but I'm not sure about the 02 accord. It would probably look pretty bad though.

The one for Honda is 4lugs 114mm as it said. And I check the infor of the one in the photo. They match but I don't know if anyone used it before. I just want to make sure to buy because I dont want to change my plan so many times with different Rims

Today, I just see one more rim. BUT i don't know the name of this one since it is on YOUTUBE. This new one I saw on Youtube is 20 inches which is much better for my accord because rpm so high 2500 at 70mph and 3000 at 80mph so that bigger rim can save more torque and miles


Let me show you the photo. Again, I don't know the name of the RIM

Would you strap 60 pounds to your legs and try and run?

Generally , the bigger rim is not going to save you any "torque" or miles. Generally, a bigger rim is heavier, costs more energy to move and has a higher unsprung weight along with more rotational mass. So don't trick yourself.

Now, if you mean to get taller tires to get a higher drive ration, then you can do that by simply getting taller tires, not necessarily larger rims. But the tradeoff is a slower car to take off.

Also, the cobra rims are very heavy, if you are looking to lower unsprung weight and still get a larger wheel, I would look at something else entirely,

Another thing to look at along with bolt pattern is the wheel offset and width. They may rub if the offset is off and the rim width is wider than the suspension and chassis can accept.

Get some measurements and plug them into this calculator, it will help you find out what rims will fit your ride. https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/
