WTF? Is that a chop? Looks awesome! Those rims actually look very similar to the BBS RX rims that I had a while back. MAN I wish I had fixed them up and kept em!

These are Enkei Shogunz 17". There not made anymore and I've seen only 2 other pairs for myself.
Before anyone flames you should realize the story behind them, and then you can decide if you feel like commenting.
These were the first rims I ever bought, a few years back. I paid a friend $400 cash for them. I did'nt know anything about rims at the time, I just knew they might help the car handle better. Well after I got them I put $395 worth of Kuhmo 711's on them, and I loved the handling imporvemt over stock rims. lol at myself looking back.
Anyway for my birthday my dad asked if I wanted something like my rims re-done. I thought that was really geneouse of him so I said okay but what color? Silver is just boring. He suggested something radical that would stand out. So I said "the only color I know that really stands out, light or dark, rain or shine is Chartreuse.
So we had them sandblasted, and the lips smoothed out, then powdercoated chartreuse with fine silver flake. But the coating wasnt right so they redid it, then we had to go back a 3rd time to get the centers done fine silver.
All told it cost my dad $400 - which is the biggest birthday gift ever.
I wanted to be different, original and crazy. I wanted people to REMEMBER the rims when they saw them, not just glace at them.
Well people noticed, and alot of people hated the fuck out of them. So I started to only use them at the autox where I earned the nickname "Green Rims Honda" (btw my # is 420 )
Eventually the tires went bald, and they have been sitting for about 1year now. I feel really bad because there is so much money and effort put into them and then no one could accept them for being different. And I feel guilty not using them because I know my dad did this from his heart.
Now days I'm using Si Prelude rims to autox on. But I'll always remember the year I rolled around on the Green Rims.

Clif Notes: Done as a birthday present by my dad, picked on bc of the color, now I'm ashamed of them, but feel guilty bc my dad wanted to have something cool.




PS Here are some other cool rims that are green.

a local friend of mine has a set of those wheels, they are rare but they were an OEM option for 4th gen accords here in the US. I dont know if it was specific to SE's, but thats what his car was, and im not sure what yours is.

we call them "suns". i personally dont really like them, but their rarity as an OEM wheel makes em cool.

[gloryaccordy]

I really feel like I've seen the suns on CD's...or maybe a wagon? I'm not even sure they're Honda rims...

[zipcreature]

[ Mkie ] Cool "suns" thats nice to know! My Accord is a LX so nothing special. If you'll notice they look alot like Ford SHO rims...and there is another car with rims that resemble these....care to guess?! ;-)
Aight I'm out for the night.
