Hey there....

I have a friend of mine who can give me a really good deal on some 16 inch rims.
They are almost free...almost :D

Anyways...I'm not quite sure if I like them or not.
I just wanted to double check with you guys and let me know what you think

I also took some of my photoshop skills and edit the rims to my car so I can get an idea of what they actually look like on my car.
I think the pictures turn out pretty good. They would have been better if the lighting was different.
But anyways...tell me what you think.

the deal is that...i'm going to trade in my rims for those on the red accord.

I'm trading my aftermarket 15 inch for those 16 inch in the picture.
what do you think?!?!?

good deal or no???

here is another picture of my ride slam with those rims.
maybe it will give you a better idea of whether they look good or not.

sorry nat but id stay away from the rims with the spokes that curve in...they make the rim look smaller than they really are. you wont notice too much diff between those 15 you have and these 16.---just my opinion though

I think the rims you want to trade for are conservative looking and if this is what you are after, GO FOR IT!!!

Most of the 16" rims that I have seen so far, have a taller tire profile though.

Is it hard to learn and work with Photoshop?

And Natcc99 is it possibe to Photoshop these Foose Spanks onto a 4th gen Accord?

Such as yours.

And if possible could you show the forum what they would look like?

I know the rim doesn't have a tire on it, thus my reason for asking.

thank you everyone for your thoughts and opinions.

i am probably not going to get them.
i'm going to save and wait for some better rims.

I already have a set of aftermarket rims and i bought them for a really low cost.

I wait for something that I will true love!

Thank again everyone :D

Personally I don't think the 16's stand out enough or enhance your accord enough. I'd say nay. The look a bit small even for 16's.

I say get a different one. It might be almost free but it might almost make your car look worse:o

:eek: they are better than stock and are probobly lighter than o.e.m. ones too. they look like the rims off of a neon though.
if your getting them for a straight trade for your stock ones, it might not be a bad deal. trade 'em, get new ones and sell the 16's or keep them as a race set. what kind are they anyways? ur call though.
honestly though, on an accord the wheel well gap is so large you need at least 17"'s.

natc99: This is off topic, but didn't you have a web page with how-to's? When I click on your homepage it takes me to sounddomain. Anyway reason I ask is because i thought I remember a how to on installing springs/struts, specifically bec-tecs. Anyway I bought a set and would like a how to on installing them. If it wasn't you sorry.
