Quick Opinion on wheels?

Which wheels for a 2003 accord sedan lx. Currently on 15 inch steelies. Would like to go to 16 inch oem hondas same tire width of 205s.

I have two options, both are the same price ($200 for 4):

1. 2003 v6 accord sedan wheels?





2. 2006-2007 v6 accord sedan wheels?





Thanks

Maybe I'm a little bias, but out of those two I would choose the 03 wheels. I just don't like the machined look wheels Honda uses on soooo many Accords.

Agreed 03 accord wheels look the best.

I would pick the 2003's. If I were to change my wheels now and wanted something that was OEM I would actually go with Acura TL Type S rims or Acura RDX. Some members on here have done both and they look amazing, but I am assuming you found these wheels somewhere and thats why you are only listing the two as options.

The second rims are from a I-4 only not a V6 model. Just a FYI.
Of the two i would pick number 1.

I'm guessing that's because the V6 wheels on the 06 Accords were larger than 16" (not sure). If I were to get new wheels, I like these. They are 17" however.

Yes coupe and sedan v6's get the same 17" wheels.

Unless you have a 6-6 then you get these wheels

I like #2. #1 are far more common and have no pop. Now #1s painted gunmetal might look nice.

I like the 2nd one. I might be biased though because I have those wheels.

Out of the rims you mentioned I think the 03 would be better.
