Post by: dizzle on July 15, 2009, 03:33:34 AM only the first pic would load up for me. but thats an interesting look. kind of VIPish. id say its a ± for me lol. its hard to say it looks good, but it doesnt look too bad because it is different.
what kind of wheels are those? Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: slipkord on July 15, 2009, 07:37:59 AM Looks too 90s to me.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: Mike on July 15, 2009, 07:53:22 AM I'd have to say i'm not the biggest fan of that look.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: wtcii on July 15, 2009, 07:59:59 AM I dont like them at all, but to each his own. Wasn't there a Lamborghini that had a wheel with a similar style?
EDIT: I found it but it's not as close as what I thought. Still similiar though.

Post by: timot_one on July 15, 2009, 08:05:08 AM Not feeling them at all. They don't look good on your car.

nice drop, not digging the wheels Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: CrackerTeg on July 15, 2009, 08:36:46 AM I'm liking the drop, kinda liking the wheels. They're different. I like different.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: ROLO on July 15, 2009, 09:31:11 AM Not feeling them at all.. go back to the 1st set you had or the prev ones...
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: k24low20z on July 15, 2009, 09:47:30 AM i dont like them......the ones you had before looked good
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: CrazyCreashunz on July 15, 2009, 10:15:44 AM Not liking those rims at all dude!
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: ibcnunv on July 15, 2009, 11:08:30 AM I would love to go against the majority and say I like them but they do not compliment the car at all. Those wheels actually take away from it’s look. STAY WITH YOUR OLD WHEELS. I loved how the car looked with them…

Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: 07CoupeBlue on July 15, 2009, 01:03:23 PM I think if they were machined so that the holes weren't rounded out they would look a lot better. But as they are right now I don't really like them
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: v6sicksspeed on July 15, 2009, 04:12:43 PM my first thought was the lambo wheels. not my taste but you can almost pull it off because youre slammed.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: toinkee69 on July 15, 2009, 05:16:12 PM they are RAYS foundary rims. duno exactly what type tho. made in japan, JDM yo! hella light to, hehehehehe...i'll take better pics later. spacers are really needed to pull this one out, wish it was wider to. still have my mesh rims w/ tires tho. might just run these for a while then switch back to mesh when i'm tired of 'em. appreciate all the +/- comments guys.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: ibcnunv on July 15, 2009, 05:27:45 PM Rock them for a while because when you go back to the mesh wheels you'll feel like it's a new ride again.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on July 15, 2009, 07:12:03 PM looks funny. kinda reminds me of lambo wheels
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: MyNameIsThien on July 15, 2009, 07:51:55 PM Are those the old school Rays Engineering Versus?
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: toinkee69 on July 15, 2009, 10:20:30 PM yep, that's what they are.

Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: Mike on July 15, 2009, 10:58:38 PM Quote from: "MyNameIsThien" Woo hoo. Score 1 for me. Great eye!!! You truely know your wheels and tires! Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: MyNameIsThien on July 15, 2009, 11:09:03 PM Haha thanks, If you need spacers, it must have a really low offset. Any clue on the offset?
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: Rich01 on July 15, 2009, 11:15:36 PM Maybe they'll look better powder coated or painted.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: toinkee69 on July 15, 2009, 11:45:15 PM Quote from: "MyNameIsThien" Haha thanks, If you need spacers, it must have a really low offset. Any clue on the offset? +50 on the offset. i'm thinking 5mm or should i go 10mm? if i use 5mm do i need to have my bolts changed still? and 5mm would just bring me to my previous wheel specs. Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: MyNameIsThien on July 16, 2009, 12:22:33 AM 5mm should be fine. You won't need to change your studs for a 5mm. When you step up to a 10 and 15mm, I suggest getting the spacer extension kit. Where the spacer has the studs built into it, and it bolts up to your previous studs.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: toinkee69 on July 16, 2009, 12:49:50 AM ^^^ big relief to know that thien, thanks for the info.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: MyNameIsThien on July 16, 2009, 01:06:00 AM No problem at all Jowell. I suggest either the Project Kics or Ichiba spacers. I lean more towards the Ichiba because they make a Honda/Acura application where it has the hub bore with the exact size of the applications.
Here is the Ichiba one for the TSX which of course will work for the Accords. http://www.optionimports.com/icwhspveiiac24.html (http://www.optionimports.com/icwhspveiiac24.html) Project Kics http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/merch ... eel_Spacer (http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=Kics_Wheel_Spacer) Ichiba one is a lot cheaper compared to the Project Kics. With both of these spacer extension kit, your wheels will need an open slot so the stock studs can clear. Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: toinkee69 on July 16, 2009, 03:45:30 PM ty thien, that's good to know.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: MyNameIsThien on July 16, 2009, 04:17:50 PM No problem at all. Just be aware of some spacers that don't have a hub bore. If there is no hub bore on the spacer, then all the weight of the car and wheels rest on the studs. Which in terms can cause a lot of stress on the studs themselves to even possibily snap and break.
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: Slammedk24 on July 16, 2009, 05:08:53 PM if they were wider and had a stretched tire i think they would look good. Then you could pull the VIP look off but they just look to skinny and small
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: toinkee69 on July 16, 2009, 05:32:44 PM ^^^wrd!
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: Philly Steve on July 18, 2009, 08:30:11 AM They kind of remind me of the GTI rims.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3557/3436778670_b57277c9ec.jpg) I can't say I'm particularly thrilled with how either set of rims look. Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: Blackhawk on July 18, 2009, 10:12:52 PM :facepalm:
Title: Re: diff kind of rims... Post by: skizot on July 18, 2009, 11:38:18 PM no offense meant, but I generally say what I really think and these are ugly as sin.
