The tires are a little bit chunky, but that's only because they're a bit taller than stock. But all in all, I like it.

Just ask anyone: if it's OEM, I like it.

You mean 2006 Accord V6 6-speed model wheels? Also seen on the 2002-2003 TL-S and 2001-2003 CL-S (albeit a half-inch wider on that car)?

I WANT those wheels!

Nice, clean look - not that much different than EX stock alloys, but I like 'em.

Yeah, I read the title and I was like who would want to put a civic front and rear end on an Acura. The wheels look nice though but I feel that I was tricked!?!?!!?

Those are much heavier than your stock rims which will adversely effect the handling of the car.

I'm not really feeling them, but I guess they're better than the stock wheels.

I'm sure he'll live, besides wheel weight has more of an affect on accelleration than handling.

yep, they are 17x8 vs the stock 16 x6.5

and i actually did scale them before i put them on, the tl wheels weigh 6 more pounds (each) then the ex.
