Wwll they are the same size as the ones on your car now, and came on last years LX-SE, and EX model, so I doubt they weigh anything more or less than the ones you've got now. I must say though, if you were going to actually spend that kind on money on wheels, why not try to get Honda one of larger size? The larger one will increase handling, and if you could get your hands on a good set of TL wheels you'd be one lucky gal.

Yeah I kinda agree here too...if it won't break your bank maybe look at getting the 17 inch rims off the Accord EX (there's a few styles), or the TL, or maybe even the new Civic...

IMO the 7th gen Accord was meant to have 17s on it.

Ok what he's trying to say is that he wants to buy new rims...but he wants to know how much those in the picture weigh because that's what he has now, and he doesn't want a heavier wheel...

So what I found is from V6P...they don't give an actual weight for the EX I4 wheel. They do give a wheel weight and a tire/wheel combo weight for the EX V6, and the tire is the same size and most likely the same type, so you can see the tire weighs 42-20 = 22lbs. There is a wheel/tire combo weight listed from the EX I4 as 39.5lbs. 39.5lbs - 22lbs tire = 17.5lbs.
