I would just buy a UHP all season for the stock 17s and sell the Accord wheels

These are what I ran on my stock Type-S wheels back before I did the Spoon brakes (stock wheels dont clear calipers). I also run these on my wife's RSX. They are effing awesome.

That's the plan, bought the car with the S.Drives on it, just going to use them till they wear out, then I'll be definitely be going with an all season high performance tire.

Funny thing is, the tires are 225/50/17. Kinda makes me wonder about the previous owner lol.

Accord wheels don't look too bad. Love the steering wheel and the double din. Cant wait to put mine in. What kind of dash kit is that?

I will post some pictures in my garage of the back so you can see the spoiler. Makes the car look amazing. Painted my mufflers black, and calipers black as well. and got a type s emblem for the front grill. Looks sexy.

I have no idea. It came on the car when i bought it but i knew they were different than every tl or tls that i had ever seen. i have looked for them online and havent been able to find one that matches it. They seem factory.(two screws underneath into a clamp that is around the muffler tip) Here is a picture of the exhaust tip closer and one of the calipers(looks blurry, and they are dirty, and cant see the whole thing)

The one I'm going to by has 215's and it just doesn't look right....the 225's is the way to go for sure...fills the fenders better.

Nice lookin' rig you got there.

Nice Car

So you can run Honda rims on a Acura? I am just a new owner and looking for a solution when I want to put the winter tread on. Honda rims for the spring and fall may be a better option.

Thank you

Yeah, any that are 5x114.3 bolt pattern and are 16" or more.

That's why I got them, people sell them much cheaper.
