Which Wheels Would You Choose?

I need your guys help

I have narrowed it down to two sets of OEM wheels.


Which rims look better on my Accord (I can't decide):





or




Quick crappy photo shop



Thanks

I am a big fan of the 5 spoke design. However, shinny always thrumps it, and therefore looks better (more expensive) than the painted TL wheel.

Vote for 8G Accord wheel.

Counter point: If you do plan to paint the wheels a different color (I won't), TL wheels would be better. Accord wheels look like as (IMO) if painted.

I like the looks of the ones in the upper photo, which appear to be the same wheels as are on my (once mine, now my son's) CL. I do have to say this about those wheels, if they are the same, they are very susceptible to curb-rash. The spokes bulge out wider than the tire and so they are the first thing to hit. Mine were scared up all to hell and gone when I bought the car and I ended up having to replace one of the wheels because it was bent. One of the rims on my Accord is bent too, but not so badly as the CL was. It causes a pulsation when braking and a very very slight vibration at speed. They spotted it the last time I had the tires ballanced but its not bad enough yet to require an immediate replacement. I suspect a lot of guy's brake problems may have something to do with a bent rim, mine seem to have been.

I like the top photo, the classic 5 spoke look better. I am somewhat old school though. If you wash your own car another thing to consider is how easy the rims will be to clean. Top photo rims would be easier to clean also.

I like sport looking wheels, so I'm partial to the TL wheels. I just don't like the machined looking wheels in any design.

I do like the top ones. Something about them looks great with the blue coupe.

TL for sure. Not a fan of those particular 8gen wheels.
