Different rims Yay or Nay?

I want to swap rims from my 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 before the tow-truck comes and picks it up



These rims/tires are 16" 205/60HR16's on Michelin MXV4 Energy tires. I have seen these rims before on a white 92-94 SE when I went up to St. Croix WI to go tubing so I know they fit and I thought they looked cool. My current rims are old, they are faded and have some road gunge that don't seem to come off. There is also alot of chipping and scratches (although my picts don't show it) as well as contaminination and peeling. What do you guys think? These rims are free for me

They weigh in at about 34-35LBS rims/tires so they are pretty good for OEM 16"ers

Definately swap them out. Or as internetautomar said send it shoeless. You could put a couple of donut spares on it for them!

Another cars OEm rims is a cool style. Done really well on the the vw vortec forums, i would love to see the same type of trend for 3rd gen maxima's! I'm rockin the is300's but i wasn't the first.
-do it up!!, maybe paint them a darker color since ur max is dark too? , just a thought, it could look really bad tho.. who knows.

I would at least take them off. If anything, you could sell them for a few hundred and put that toward rims you really want.

I put the rims on tonight. They look funky, the off-set isn't wide enough that the rims/tires are too tucked into the fender vs. stock. Then I put the Maxima rims/tires on the Accord and they stick far outside the fender. From dead-on side view, it looks cool though. I switched them back. Im going to see if an Accord V6 owner is willing to swap rims + some $ and used that to buy a Y-pipe

Yes, 99-03 TL's and 01-03 CL's have the same pattern. I thought Si rims were 4-lug? I think 5spoke TL-S/CL-S rims would look sweet.
