Steelies or Old-school Accord Wheels?
Help me out guys, soon i will purchase new winter tires, and before they were mounted on steelies, but i have a set of old accord wheels laying in the garage, they came from a 1989 Honda Accord specs are 14x5.5 ET+45 and i think they weight around 18 pounds (can someone comnfirm that) Basically i think that the specs are pretty much the same... both set of wheels are in good condition, it will probably go down to looks
BTW, i never put the caps on the wheels...
Here's a picture so you know what i'm talking about

ha ha... 50/50... ok i need more input! now it appears that the accord wheels are more narrow, which means the car would'nt be as responsive... but in the mean time, i kinda like the old-school style

I think they became 4x114 around the 90's, but these are 4x100... lol i saw a forum where a guy was trying to sell them saying they are extremely rare and that it was designed to cool the brakes... ^^

Those were the wheels from the EX, right? The LX had ABS plastic hubcaps. My 92 had one of the (well, four of the) ugliest hubcabs Honda even managed to create:
They even came with a wheel-lock so nobody would try to steal those awful things!!! You'd be more likely to have the 'awesome' rims stolen from the Fit!!!

Huh? The late 90's Accord look is better than the late 90's Tercel look.
