Finally collected my wheels from @honda-hardy, via proxy. Absolute top bloke to deal with, wheels were exactly as described and he's been very accommodating with my collection arrangements :) So once again, thanks Sam!

At any rate, I went over to visit my mate in Battle and we fitted the wheels :D I've just got home, and here she is:

I'm well chuffed, I think they look great on her 8-) just need to get her lowered now, and sort out a nice exhaust, then I think I'll be exactly where I want to be with this car.

Cheers buddy, I think they suit red really well :) it's amazing how much a set of wheel's can change a car's look!

Just need to lower her now, she's a bit too tall :lol:

They look great on your car. Better on that than the 3rd gen tbh, as Sam said.

That certainly is one large arch gap :lol: As said, they look a lot better on a 3rd gen Accord than a 3rd gen lude. I didn't like them at all on Sam's lude (I appreciated we have different tastes though ;-) ) but they fit perfectly with the colour and shape of your Accord :)

Haha yeah she looks like she's on stilts :oops: :lol: like I said to you the other night, that's 10cm between the top of the tyre and the edge of the wheel arch!! :shock:

The tyres on these wheels are smaller than on the OEM Alloys so I'm going for some bigger ones soon, hoping that'll make a small difference. At some point I'm just going to have to bit the bullet and lower her... If you saw the state of the bolts in the camber arms you'd think twice about touching anything on the running gear though :lol:

The best thing about these wheels though is that hopefully now people won't assume the car belongs to some old chap, people need to know! :lol:
