Came across this,

http://www.collegehillshonda.com/honda-accord-coupe-accessories/2013-honda-accord-coupe-wheels.htm

I have to say, I am so glad that I have waited on purchasing some upgraded OEM wheels because I was going to go with the 19" Acura RDX wheels, but these new 9thgen 19" HFP wheels with the black in them is going to go really good with my black car.

I never liked the look of the bronze looking 19" HFP wheels for 8thgens on a CBP coupe. They look really good on the BBP and PMM coupes though.

Black on black would look good.

However one thing to check beforehand, I read somewhere that 2013 Accords no longer use wheel mounted TPMS sensors.

You may have to check if you can fit our existing TPMS onto the 2013 wheels.

Those wheels look real good! Have you bought a set already?

 

[pmdbruin]

Wow very nice wheels.

 

[sodaks2k]

I ASSume you mean these?

I love this new HFP wheel. It should look good on a black coupe or sedan.

nice, thicker spokes than the 8th gen HFP wheels... and highly resemble the infiniti G37S wheels

To bad they don't have a more aggressive offset.

Think these would be flush or close to it with 25mm spacers on a 7gen sedan?

They look good, but I'll bet they weigh a ton compared to a even a 17-inch alloy wheel. That wheel and 19" inch rubber probably add at least 10 pounds of additional unsprung weight per wheel, maybe more.

You sure that wheel has black in between the spokes? Looks kinda grey.

 

[finishstrong09]

I believe the inside spokes can be painted any color to match the car...

Here is a set that came in from the factory to CHH unpainted.

Offset is +55 on a 19x8 wheel. Weight of the rim should be between 23-25 lbs per wheel.

I already have 25mm rear and 20mm front spacers on my stock 17" OEM coupe wheels. So it will be flush.

let us know how the TPMS goes

i like the unpainted look of those. with black or graphite paint they look a little too much like your average stock wheel to me.

let us know how the TPMS goes

tpms should be the easiest part of the equation. i'd be more worried that the tire shop will do a clean mount and balance.

How does it monitor tire pressure with out a wheel mounted TPMS?

 

[outersquare]

I think it was a differential wheelspeed measurement, like the ABS system.

 

[DOOM]

you should be able to put tpms in anything - even if the wheel doesn't use that technology from the manufacturer. there are more tailored versions for cases where the oem tpms units may not fit.

 

[finishstrong09]

Thanks Doom.

That's what I thought. TPMS is the least of my worries, I would think I could first try some TPMS that Honda has for the 8thgen 19" HFP wheels. Both wheels have a recommended tire size of 245|40R19 so if my logic serves me correctly. TPMS calibrated to the same size wheel diameter and tire size should be transferrable to another wheel of same size wheel diameter and tire size, correct?

not a fan... at all
