oh, and they really don't look that much like 94-95 GS-R rims either... the 14" of the special edition Accord rims look WAY too small

well, the beauty of the 7 spokes is that they look nice and they're light as ****... my 7-spoke OEM rims with 205/55 SP9000s were 30lbs. a piece... the stock rims are exceptionally light

15" x 6"... they're in the basement now though... extremely light! in my opinion, the 7 spokes are some of the best looking 15" rims out there... if they ever made the same design in 17", i'd be all over it...

keep your eye on EBay... or I bet someone in this Accord group would probably unload their old set of 94-95 Accord OEM EX 7-spoke rims...

I'd love to replace my hub caps with the 94-95 15" rims. They would fit on my 96 right?

yes, they'll fit on your Accord... all that matters is that you have the 4 x 114.3mm bolt pattern (pre 97 Preludes and non V6 Accords)...

NO NO NO THESE ARE THE BEST ACCORD WHEELS EVER
http://216.168.33.27/wheels/fmpro?-d...id=34626&-find

But really, if you put on a wheel from a different generation, it looks stupid, IMHO.

They came on the 4g special ed and also standard on the 2 door EX. I see a few 4Gs with the 5g 7 spoke and it still just looks so "not right" to me.
Eh I'm boring and just like the way stock parts look. Aftermarket wheels are fine, but again, the wrong wheels on the wrong car just look weird to me. Just my silly opinion.

Everyone should own the (Helms) Honda service manual for their Hondas! It is a very worthwhile investment (60~80 US bucks IIRC). In there you'll find just about anything you need to know, like paint colors/codes. Sorry, I only have the 4th gen Accord and 5th gen Prelude Helms.

Helms manuals are a definite must... a worthy investment indeed... I just wish they were cheaper... any luck on EBay by chance anyone?

You can put a 225 tire on those man! Are you going to do that?
honda318dx has 225/50(?)-15s AVS Intermediates on his 15x6 Preldue wheels. (Maybe they're 225/45s, I can't remember).
