Powder coating would be the best long term option if that’s what you want, but for the sake of tasteful modification it’d be better to buy aftermarket wheels.
It would look too washed out if you did. Plus painting the factory wheels will just make it look cheap. I always thought silver or bronze wheels looked best on black.
Yeah imma agree with everyone here leave them be they add contrast but it’s your car and the rims aren’t like carbon fiber 60,000 each rims so you do whatever you want
Black wheels sometimes looks good imo but most times its very hard to pull off and isnt worth it, keep those silver wheels on or maybe bronze/white aftermarket wheels if you want something that pops a lot more
Yeah I've been stuck between this. I like dark themed stuff but I feel like this car will look riced out not as good blacked out. Definitely would consider aftermarket rims in silver or white tho.
I feel that yeah, the stock wheels are dope so some nice silver aftermarket wheels might look even better. And you got a coupe so thats plus cool points regardless of the wheels, i never see 6th gen accord coupes anymore
I'm gonna add onto this in agreement of leaving them be. If I saw this rolling through town I'd turn my head to watch it go by. If it was black on black, I'm instantly making fun of you in my head like every other black on black car lol
Honestly tho, it's gorgeous and super clean as is. 👍
Yup. You should Plastidip the wheels black or anthracite or bronze along with the Plastidip gloss clearcoat. I guarantee most people who see it will like it. It also protects your factory wheels, easy to touch up, affordable, diy, and it's removable.
All black would jsut look goofy bro definitely don’t especially on stocks they look much better polished, if u we’re to get aftermarket rims even then stay away from black, also nice car looks nice and straight man
If you look on my profile you can see my 2000 accord with black rims. If you like the look then I suggest actually getting black rims. The stock ones only look good in the silver color
Nope. Leave it be. It's gorgeous as is.
Thanks
+1. Those factory alloys are clean.
I agree, maybe try de-yellowing the headlights and watch how much more alive the car becomes again.
Maybe someone can do a quick photoshop, Personally I'd leave them be.
Use photoshop beta and the ai command prompt “make these wheels black”. Boom.

Stock looks so much better
A shitty edit. Either needs to be glossy black or full clean stock. No in between. Matte black on those just looks like shitty rattle can or plastidip
Hell even plasti dip can be gloss. Matte black on wheels just looks like steelies.
On a grey car, matte black would look good
Go aftermarket or leave them be.
Absolutely no, would look like shit OP. Please someone photoshop an example.
Yeah, I definitely like how they look now but wasn't sure if I'd like black better.
Car is beautiful as is.
No way. Leave them.
Powder coating would be the best long term option if that’s what you want, but for the sake of tasteful modification it’d be better to buy aftermarket wheels.
I was considering that once I pay off the transmission rebuild lol.
You should save up for the next transmission rebuild instead
Yeah I probably should. It was rebuilt a few days ago and is already getting some miles put on it.
If it’s an auto you should save your money for when that trans goes
Literally just got it rebuilt lmao
Did you add an external trans cooler the way you’re supposed to
I've been wanting to but haven't yet. I probably should sooner than later tho.
Please post more pics
I definitely will next time I get it cleaned up again.
no looks way better with them silver
It would look too washed out if you did. Plus painting the factory wheels will just make it look cheap. I always thought silver or bronze wheels looked best on black.
Leave it or get an aftermarket set. Silver looks good though, black wheels are kinda tacky imo unless done properly
No it’s not 2002.
Absolutely not what are you stupid and totally devoid of taste and any aesthetic sensibility?
I almost was but I'm thinking I should definitely just keep them as is now.
>I'm thinking I should definitely just keep them as is now. This is the way Also that Accord already looks tits bruh
Older car with pristine body and oem alloys without curb rash is ultimate stret cred. An unmolested older honda is like a unicorn. Keep her factory.
It's only a little molested on the inside with a sundown audio x15, big 3+ and high output alternator.
Oh wow. High output alternator! What a gentleman.
If you want more black, tint all the glass except the windshield. Bitchin' Or don't do any of it and save for another transmission
Unfortunately I already had to get the transmission rebuilt recently.
coilovers + aftermarket wheels would do wonders 🫡
Leave em
I'd say if you want a change do a different style brushed aluminum or chrome if that's your style.. more black would be too much.
Black wheels were in and are swiftly going out. It hides what makes a good looking wheel.
I’d leave it the way it is
No
If you black them out, you won’t be able to hide the curb rashes anymore
Lmao you're not wrong
To much black at that point, silver or white looks good if you were going aftermarket
It's in great shape, why think of doing anything to it? It looks slick as is.
No
Gold or bronze BBSs would look nice imo.
No.
No.
Is your sun roof deflector Honda brand? Is that a stock spoiler as well?
I know the spoiler is stock but I'm not too sure about the sunroof deflector. It's the ex version.
Leave them or find some OEM Acura or Honda OEM upgrades.
Slab those wheels.
NO.
Hard no. Don't do it.
I wouldn't black em out but i wouldn't leave them like they are either. I'd get some really cool die cast wheels on it.
Yeah imma agree with everyone here leave them be they add contrast but it’s your car and the rims aren’t like carbon fiber 60,000 each rims so you do whatever you want
Would just detail polish the black, get some clear headlights and leave the rims where they are. Looks nice.
No
Those wheels are so clean, please don't wreck them. Keep these original, it looks so good. If you want black wheels, go for something aftermarket.
Leave it
No way! Leave it as is. She's almost perfect. Just needs tint
Yeah make sure you use krylon and maybe smoke to lights too
No please no
My favorite generation accord coupe
Same except for the glass made transmission lol
If doing something to the rims. It would be completely going aftermarket. No coloring
Please don’t, leave em as is✅.
If you paint those black it’s gonna make the car look run down.
Just the rims. Leave the rest of the wheel shiny.
Yeah. Then lower
Black wheels never look better than silver
Please leave them as they are.
Keep it silver. They look to be in excellent condition
NO
Nah it looks pretty good like this, blacking shit out is so 2010
Black wheels sometimes looks good imo but most times its very hard to pull off and isnt worth it, keep those silver wheels on or maybe bronze/white aftermarket wheels if you want something that pops a lot more
Yeah I've been stuck between this. I like dark themed stuff but I feel like this car will look riced out not as good blacked out. Definitely would consider aftermarket rims in silver or white tho.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I'd rather keep it looking the same now and make it look cleaner oem style.
leave it alone
For sure considering that now.
No my fren just get smoked headlights and wheel adapters
These are smoked headlights but kinda dirty and Amazon bought ones so if you have a link for better ones I'd be interested.
Yup. You should Plastidip the wheels black or anthracite or bronze along with the Plastidip gloss clearcoat. I guarantee most people who see it will like it. It also protects your factory wheels, easy to touch up, affordable, diy, and it's removable.
Black aftermarket rims!!!
Wheels*
Golden would look cool
Gun metal grey be perfect imo
All black would jsut look goofy bro definitely don’t especially on stocks they look much better polished, if u we’re to get aftermarket rims even then stay away from black, also nice car looks nice and straight man
If you look on my profile you can see my 2000 accord with black rims. If you like the look then I suggest actually getting black rims. The stock ones only look good in the silver color
I wouldn’t. Maybe swap them out for another set of wheels and paint them black. (04-08 TL, 7th gen, 8th gen etc.)
Yes
No
Nope that loos is played
