My Accord sporting some Works

Picked up these CR-Kais from a member here. Since they were damaged in the shipping process prior to being sold to me I had them powder-coated white.

These will eventually end up on my fiance's NBP Accord Coupe but for kicks I wanted to see what they would look like on my grocery-getter.

Specs for those who will inevitably ask 18x8.5 +43 all around, 225/40/18 Dunlop Sport Maxx A tires.

White wheels are making a comeback. Those look really nice.

Really not a fan of the color however the wheels themselves do look nice.

I still think the RDX's looked best.

And you got a pretty good deal if you got them from the person Im thinking of.

Style is great. Color will look better on the NBP. Those skinny tires scare me.

Your car is really clean, though. I don't think I've ever seen that model with a lip kit around here.

I like the silver and white. I think it goes well together.

Is your car EVER dirty Milan? Or is there the slightest chance in the world you have a door ding or a paint imperfection somewhere? I just cannot understand how a 7 year old DD can be in such condition.

The Works are hawt; but like someone said, I can't wait to see them on the NBP!

Wow. If someone would have said that they had a silver Accord with white wheels I would have been like ??? but that looks good. Make sure you post pictures of them on the coupe. I don't think it'll look right, but hey, I didn't think that silver and white would look right either.

On a related note I saw a white C230 Benz with white wheels (18s or 19s) and it looked hot.

I only take pictures right after I wash my car. Contrary to popular belief, my car is dirty about 75% of the time but being silver really helps; dirt doesn't show on silver very well.

And believe me, the front end has it's fair share of small chips but they don't show too well at web resolutions. If I have a close-up of the front, I photoshop the little buggers out. And as for dents, I park faaaar, faaar away from anyone else to avoid door dings. It's paid off so far even though it means walking a little more.

Isn't there an Accord thread for a reason?

I love those wheels but I'm used to seeing the RDX A-Specs on your ride. Lets see these on the wifey's car

I was going to throw these on Gen's car today but ran out of time after washing her car and taking these pictures. The Works are going on tomorrow, in the meantime, the RDX accessory wheels on an Accord coupe.

Nice, I really like the white on silver. I do have a question though, where would I be able to get my wheels powdercoated to a certain color?

I think those white wheels will not look as good on the coupe.

My thoughts as well, at least with the cars current height. I think if it was slammed and tucking tire those wheels would look hot. I have that issue on my CL, bronze CR-Kais and Im not slammed. Doesnt look right.

But RDX A-Specs = tits

Nice car, but I personally don't like white rims on silver cars. It doesn't really flow. I think white rims work best on black, white, or blue cars.

Put the Works on the coupe last night and results are titties. Pictures to follow in the near future.

Where are the "titties"?

And what lens / settings on the camera for those shots? I like the DOF.
