Looking to get 15'' alloys to put stock Michellins on, for my wife's 2005 I4 LX. She likes this:

Sport Edition D5

Size Selected: 15x6.5
Recommended Tire Size: 205/65-15
Wheel Offset: +50mm
Lightweight: 15.0 lbs

Sounds like a direct fit, right?

EDIT: Okay searched a bit :naughty: and it seems like in this (http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2658&highlight=sport+edition) thread it is mentioned that rings are needed to center them properly... hmmm...

They should fit - but you need to make sure that the hub-centering rings are used (they should ship them with the wheels). That's the only issue with aftermarket wheels.

One other thing you may want to consider is a set of the CR-V wheels that a few of us have been buying lately. They're new wheels made by honda, and fit the accord 15" lx tires perfectly. Go to this string to check it out http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3621 . There's some pics and a link to the honda dealer (in ebay) that still has some sets in stock - plus they're cheaper than the $65 each ones from TireRack

I get a bit concerned using non-Honda wheels, because of the offset, hubcentric issues, etc.

However, a lot of the wheels between Honda and Acura are interchangeable.

Just takes a bit of work to find out which ones will work for you.

Ah damn, saw that thread a few days ago and forgot about it!

So - thanks for reminding me, I just bought those Ebay wheels LOL. :thumbsup:

...and another satisfied customer! :thmsup:

Still think I should be asking them for commission - but the real question will be - just how many sets of wheels does this place have? If another set shows up...... :lmao:

I think you should ask that dealer to be one of our sponsors. The guy's sold how many sets of wheels to people on this site...dude?!

Welcome to the club...hehehe :banana: :banana:
