Question What Do You Think?....Rims?

Hey Everyone,

A short while back I mentioned that I was going to mount some Stock 2000 Honda Accord Coupe EX\Odessy EX rims on my TL. Some of you guys wanted to see how it came out and others were against it. Well here it is...tell me what you think.

unless there was something horrible wrong with ur OEM rims, theres are ugly compared to OEM!

If ur gonna spend money should have gotten Type S wheels!

Actually it kinda looks like the type-S rims except that this one is curved in on the edges.

Not bad at all. BTW, how much were they or did you get them for free? If you got them for free then why not. I just hope you didn't waste $$$ on them.

I got them for $275, I was getting bored of the OEM and they were becoming a pain to clean. Its a simple change and I rather have these than be a fake and have the Type-S.

Actually, although the wheels on the 2000 accord ex v6 look a lot like these wheels, they are slightly different. The oddesy wheels have thicker spokes than the accord ones, so actually, you would be a fake oddesy... :P

I think they look fine.
Sometimes just a subtle change is all that's needed to give the car a completely new look. It's certainly different, you won't find many other TLs with Odyssey wheels on them.

Thanks for all your replys so far, the rims that I have are off an accord but I have seen them on some Odesseys. There are several variations of that rim from Honda, some look very similar and others look way different.

Infamous425...The car is far from looking like an Accord, what I ment as being fake, is the fact that there are enough people out there with Type-S rims and Type-S tags on a TL-P. You think that if you make your car look like a Type-S it will make it go faster?

Well one thing is for sure, thank God you didn't put some BMW or Mercedes rims on. At least you stayed within the family and at a good price at that. Not a bad look.

I think they look sort of small (even if they are the same size), and they make the car look like an Accord.

Just my opinion, if you like it, rock on.
