i really want one of these sets for my car, but i really cant decide which.

i fell in love with these first:

here they are on a black coupe in silver, keep in mind i want just the opposite look white coupe black wheels.

LoveLee wants to be a baller now. :D

I say the Enkei wheels. They will compliment the profile of the car better.

Don't forget, the first set looks better on that car because it's not a ricer.

I like the 2nd set of wheels. But if you can't find the exact same ones, then I'd go with the 1st set. I don't like the Enkei's split 6-spoke design.

Lol is kunal calling me a ricer? And if I decide to buy either set, ill be dropping my car about an 1.5 inches before the wheels r even ordered. And yes I wanna be a baller, lol but first I need the baller money.

I think I'm gonna go over to hondatech and look where I found the picture and message the guy. I really love his wheels.

Nice choice LoveLee. Tirerack has two variations of the black Enkei's. The other has rounded, twisted spokes with the same machined lip. I was really considering either paired with Kumhos before I found my 'stars on ebay.

Are you looking on Tirerack? All the mounting hardware is included which is a plus.

i asked for an eibach prokit for christmas and my dad said no. my mom was all for it though lol. my money comes and goes since i dont have a job, i have money when i get my refund from scholarships, but i have to save the money to make it last until the next semester (3-4 months). so i cant be impulsive and buy what i want. i also have a credit card to pay :thumbsdow so im in no position to be spending that kind of money.

You could just lower it a bit and have your current wheels powercoated gunmetal grey. That would look good and keep that oem look. Maybe your neighbor at the body shop could hook you up since funds are a little low. :thmsup:

the middle part is usually replaced, you wouldn't need to paint over it.

the grill should be held on by clips. If you buy the grill, you can replace it.

on another forum, where i got that picture they told me because of the year of my car i would have to cut the grille out to do that. :(

It looks like a Grillcraft (http://grillcraft.com/applications/2002_Honda_Accord_2_Door.aspx) grille with an Accord emblem.

BTW, those OEM wheels look great on that car.
