now before anybody else flames, I know these wheels are NISMO but they just look so damn nice! Just remove the stickers and you're set. Not to mention that they're forged and made by rays engineering.

21lbs/wheel. For the price, I'd say it's a great buy!

What do you guys think?

They look clean I don't know about the 35mm offset though :) if they came in 42mm+ I would definitly be rolling on a set.

Sharp lookin 'wheel that's priced really nice... perhaps even too good to be true!?!

I mean, brand-new, relatively light-weight, 5x114.3 bolt-pattern, name-brand 19" rims for $550/shipped?!? :eek:

Hmmm... seems too good to be true!

There's gotta be more to it. . .

BTW, can someone please photo-shop these on a Polished Metal Metallic '08 Accord LX sedan? :naughty:

* If they look half-way decent, I might get a set & powder-coat or refinish them myself into gun-metal w/ clear-coat! :cool:

Forget the 19" HFP wheels, lolz. . .
They look clean I don't know about the 35mm offset thoughWould a 5mm/8mm/10mm spacer possibly help? I'm not the best at calculating wheel-offsets, especially in that I don't even know the '08 Accord sedan's OEM wheel's fitment-specs'! :blush:

I love how it looks and the thin spokes make it look clean!

O', I think that adding a spacer would make it stick out more. It's already sticking out a lot. You just have to roll your fenders.

The guy selling these has them for sale on Acurazine as well...seems very legit...that offset is to low for a sedan but coupe guys should jump all over these

Edit: I was wrong, it looks like this is a different seller...here are the ones on Acurazine...http://www.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=689842

Hey buddy, so as-is, I wouldn't be able to use these on my '08 Accord sedan? And small spacers (5mm/8mm/10mm) would make the situation worse, I reckon.

Anyone know the 2008 Accord LX sedan's OEM 16" x 7" wheel's offset?


The HFP 19" wheels which I was planning to get are $1200 + shipping and weigh well-over 25lbs' each (cast-alloy). They are 19" x 8" w/ a 55mm offset.

Using this web-site: http://marksink.com/tire_wheel_offset/offset.html

HFP 19" x 8" & 55mm offset vs. Nismo 19" x 8.5" & 35mm offset...

Your new wheel (Nismo) will have the following chracteristics:

The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 14mm MORE

The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 26mm


BTW, hub-centric rings would be needed, as per the Acurazine thread linked above (the '04-'08 Maxima had an 66.1 mm hub-bore size, which is different than the '08 Accord hub-bore size).

Speaking of which, what is the exact '08 Accord hub-bore size?
