Both are a little "plain" for my blood, but if I had a gun to my head, I'd take the SDR's. Whats your budget for rims?

But it looks like those only come in 4 lug? Arent all Accords 5?

Well I am not too big on all the showy bling bling or racer look for an family sedan. I might consider going with the TSX wheels. I want the car to look to outsiders as if it was nice looking stock car

Fair enough, but my 3 questions still stand.

Both of them have the 5-lug versions available. The SDR's are going to fit better since they have a 5-lug 53mm offset version available. The Destiny looks too much like the stock '05 wheels for my liking. Don't get me wrong. I like the '05 wheels, but if I'm were to go aftermarket, I'm going to pick the SDR's over the Destiny's.

My budget for wheels is probably up to 1k. I have a friend who is telling me he can give me TSX wheels for $400. there is a 5 lug version, Accord and Subaru STI have the same lug pattern. Destiny is a little too conservative for me, I must agree.

SDR > Destiny

I have a set of Rota rims (Subzero) for my previous cars (Eclipse and 3000GT). I like this brand very much especially the light weight. Not top of the line but I think it worths the $$

Check out this store:

go with tsx wheels. browse forums to see what ppl are selling them for.

not a fan of either of those rims you put up. the SDRs are light though.
