Here are some pics I took last weekend at Huntington Beach (Cali) with my new wheels.

On the way I saw this green 7th gen coupe. I've never seen a green one before and there are lots of 7th gen coupes out here.

Here's my baby with her new 5zigen wheels :) Hope u like them. The weight savings with these wheels really helps the car accelerate! They are only 14lbs each. The old steelies weighed about 25lbs each (now for sale by the way). I have not yet measured gas savings but I am pretty sure I will see an improvement.

Nice car!!!

Good old HB. Wish I could shut the pier down again on a 4th of July riot. the old Golden bear downtown. Learned to surf on that beach.

Need to get out there while my baby sister still lives near 5 points.

Are they 15" wheels? What kind of tires do you have on them?

Anything is better than 15" steelies.. :thmsup:

yes they are 15's with the stock tires (yuk!). by the way, they sit about 1/2" farther out of the wheel wells thanks to the 40mm offset.

yea I saw a gold one once too. I wonder how many gold and green ones honda sold. I didn't even know those colors were available. I always see red, black, white, silver, graphite and I've seen a few blue ones.

To me the wheels look REALLY small but a really nice drop would set it off. I say you slam it lol

Yea, the wheels do look small to me to. Why would you replace 16's with 15's? And isn't that bad for the tranny to be on smaller than oe tires? You do know that the wheels from your Accord are 16's right?
