mwmcginn 01-10-2009, 08:09 PM I like those wheels a lot.
A&Fbro28 01-10-2009, 08:14 PM Thx. The tires came on the rims but i'll be switching to 235/45's my next purchase.
gvan1998 01-10-2009, 08:21 PM how much pay for them?
A&Fbro28 01-10-2009, 08:25 PM 300.00 a buddy at my dealer wasselling them as he no longer had his white 07 civic si sedan. So i jumped on it.
One question. These were installed yesterday with no issue. This eve the TPMS light is on. What could have caused this?
argus 01-10-2009, 08:29 PM Nice...definitely liking it..do a search on threads on TPMS. You'll find tons of information
dreamer 01-10-2009, 11:12 PM Not bad...
Not my first choice. The wheel wells on the new 8th Gens is HUGE. I personally prefer min 20" on the newer accords.
But kudos to you on being different :)
I'd also slam it a bit more.

Who said it was dropped at all yet? I not dropping much as it would become very difficult to transfer from my wheelchair.
The wheel gap is bigger that usual because the tires that he has are the correct match for his SI (225/40). I'll be switching to 235/45's as soon as the other tires wear down. They only had 2000 miles on them.
They look terrific...excellent choice...I have always preferred the OEM look...:notworthy
Will 235's fit though...if I'm not mistaken these are 18x7...not 18x8...

No.. they are 18x7.5. Tirerack stated the widest tire was 235/45

good price. I'm guessing you didn't use the TPMS sensors that came with the car? That's why the lights came on - you can take it to the dealer and they will charge you to reset the TPMS sensors for the wheels or take it to a local tire shop (which will be much cheaper)

Luckily i used to work at my local dealer and between my mom and myself, we've owned 11 hondas from them since 98 so they'll do it for little or nothing..lol.
morcheez 01-11-2009, 07:34 PM those look pretty good on there..and u cant beat 300 bucks
woody4364 01-11-2009, 09:32 PM They look good! I would definately buy the Eibach pro kit. It'll be a very subtle but nice drop. You have to remove the TPMS sensors from your stock wheels and tires. And add them to your new wheels.
85gp4 01-11-2009, 10:09 PM Looks great, and you can't beat the price! I would definitely put them on my Accord.

Ah, didn't know if you had dropped or not. I personally have a small drop myself. Also since your wells are dark, I wasn't sure.
I didn't know you were in a wheelchair. I would think dropping the car lower would make it easier to get in and out no? I don't know many people in wheel chairs, so please excuse my ignorance.
please explain.
LXSPimp 02-21-2009, 09:45 PM looks good. Campus Edge is gheeeeeeeeeeeetto. :lmao:

yeah, I always get those 2 names confused. My sis used to live in Brookstone Village back in '04 or whatever a block away. A lot of ghetto peeps lived there.
A&Fbro28 02-21-2009, 10:09 PM Hey you live and learn... Keeps u in school to keep u out of places like that. to strive for better..lol.
socal302 03-02-2009, 08:48 PM Does anyone know if these rims will fit an 08 sedan???
A&Fbro28 03-02-2009, 08:51 PM Does anyone know if these rims will fit an 08 sedan???
sure why would they not fit? they will np.
socal302 03-02-2009, 09:03 PM I love these wheels. So the bolt pattern in the same coupe/sedan? They would look sweet with my alabaster silver 08. Anyone seen these on an AS sedan?? Anyone know of any for sale or where I can start looking?
socal302 03-02-2009, 09:23 PM Also, Ive been doing some searching and these wheels look a lot more silver, or lighter gray, then what ive been finding. The ones I have been finding are a lot more gun metal looking or darker gray. are these pics deceiving or is there two different colors for this style wheel?
