Mike's 02 Accord coupe V6

[Mikeymike823]

paint the spokes to match the car, keep the lip polished/silver

rattle cans for that color are online, get 3 for safety, their usually small ones, so 1 to coat, 1 to finish, plus a spare. I'd go for 2 of the large cans if you find them, 3/4 to coat, 1/2 to finish, 1/2 as spare, 1/4 to snort

I'm going to polish the whole wheel today like this. Probably will start later

Hmmm, I'm not sure about full polished, but that's just my opinion.

I like wheels with a polished lip/painted spokes, like 'in honor' of old 3-piece wheels, or steelies, basically. As far as paint scheme...anyone can like anything.

My old wheels were polished. So i want to try polishing these. I think they would look good polished. My trims are chrome and along with my emblems.

Some say, polished wheels are a bit tough to have them maintained (keep them shiny). And I heard that polished / chrome wheels are difficult to be repaired from the curb rashes. But since you've owned them before, you know how that goes then. Can't wait to see more blings on her!

Hey guys! So here is my 02 accord. It started off as a stock black coupe then eventually things changed and she got a whole complete makeover haha 118k original miles and counting. Glad to be apart of the site! Well hope you like her

Looks tight. I'm getting the raceland coils too tomorrow. Are you maxed out? I have the 4cyl coupe se. Do you think 17x9 would look good? I'm thinking a 3inch drop, which is what they are maxed at, will get me a good fitment. My offset will be +20 on my ccw reps. Wonder if you can remove lock rings to go a bit lower.

Yes are mine are maxed out. 17x9 will fit pretty good. Mine are 18x9 and they sit pretty good. I'll be getting my camber kit so i can run my 8mm spacers for the rear so they sit more flush.
I looked into the whole removing one lock ring but i never actually did it because I'd have to take off my coilovers to get the bottom ring off . so i didn't bother to try it. Here are some pics so you get a better idea of fitment and heigh

Oh and guys, i polished the wheels but need to do a couple more rounds

Nice! looks like your car is sitting a bit lower than it was in the original post. Coils had some time to settle im assuming. I'm going to run mine for 2 weeks, roll fenders before I put the wheels. I got +20 offset going on so I went an got a camber kit ahead of time lol

17x9, I guess at one point I liked 'polished' (these were actually 'chrome' look paint)

The car then was on H&R Race Drop springs, not coilovers. No camber kit, it was in spec.
