I'm just looking for a ballpark because I still h ave 6 months to find ones I like. I really don't have a price range, but I'm not giong to dump $3k on some nice rims. I'm looking for 15inch or maybe 16inch, don't remember what size the car has. Its a 91 Accord Ex I believe, maybe LX manual transmission.

How much would some good looking ones be and what should I look for in terms of difference other than design?

Look for spokes and a hub too, you'll need something to connect the rim of the wheel to the car.

Just find some newer honda rims. At least they'll match the overall style of the vehicle.

Should be around 500 bucks with a decent set of tires. Look at the FS forums on some honda accord websites ;)

The ones I bought for my van were $100 and came with almost brand new tires but then they are just different dodge rims.

I'll get some pics of my '91 up in a few days. Its undergoing some major surgery this weekend;) The right wheels will look great. I wouldn't go bigger then 17's and I'd lower it some as well. Anyhow, you can get pretty good wheels for about $125 each. And yes, rubber is about another $100 a wheel so you're looking at about $1000 for the whole thing.

No, the ones that came were plastic, slightly better than those $20 sets of 4 at Wal*Mart.

91? i'd rather put the money in the bank for a newer car. tossing money into a rust bucket is bad idea.

rims on a 91 is like designer pants on a hobo.
