'04 Accord V6 Luxury with Rims & Tyres off an '09 Accord V6 Luxury

[Alpine]

It was time to change the balding tyres on the old man's '04 Accord V6 Luxury, so scored these virtually new rims and tyres off an '09 Accord V6 Luxury. This gives us new tyres with a nice size upgrade from 205 to 225 width, lower profile, and a rim upgrade from 16" to 17". Best of all it's still OEM.

Before (with 16" stock rims)

After (with 17" rims from '09 Accord)

Overall very happy with the new rims. The ride is smoother, quieter and the alignment seems to be OK. The old tyres tendency to pull to the right is gone now. All in very good. If only these 17" rims had the same polished appearance as the 16" rims then it'd be 100% perfect as it suited the overall look of the Accord nicely.

I think you made the wrong decision.

I liked the original rims much, much better.

I'll go with everyone else on this one, I liked the old ones better. I can see where you're coming from though, you probably got sick of the old ones and just wanted something new.

Anyways, the clear corners and fogs look sick on that car, but the new rims look odd. Not really feelin' em sorry.
