Wheel identification ??????

Well the other day I was walking and I passed by a wheel shop that’s near my house. One of the rims caught my eye so I went in and asked the price was for the set and the guy said $200 bucks and I think to my self that’s to much. So I went home. When I was on my way to school I passed by there again and I offered the guy $150 and he said ok, so I got them. The only problem was that all of the rims except for one had been restored.
By restored I mean that all of them were polished and painted except for one. They look really good with the 3 rd gen accord because they have that old school style to them. One thing that I didn’t like was the size they are 14’s but I still got them. They have a name "VIRL" on them but I have never heard of the company. It also says that it was made in France. I took some pics today. I was hoping that someone new what car they came from or if they new something about them.

what do u guys think about the rims that i got? any recommendation for tires size and brand?


edit: i already took that one rim to a shop to get restored like the other ones so i should be getting it back soon

i think they would look alright on pretty much any other coloured accord than laurel blue, sorry dude but that clashes like hell. [paint them black]

nice...trying to copy my style huh? lol

those are very silmiar to the bbq mesh for the bmw or vw.... but i never recall on the name tho. good find.

Nice:D
I agree with jonrichert paint them black or gunmetal gray....

i kinda feel like everyone is doing that (having black or gunmetal gray rims) i kinda want to have something out side the box.

there's a fat line between outside the box and ugly, and those rims cleared that line.

seriously, that mustard yellow combined with the blue paint and orange corner lenses just rapes my eyes. guess i'll have to see them with the rubber on to form an honest opinion.

Dijon mustard to be exact....

Paint 'em, and they'll look great!

Nice nice wheels, kinda small though. But I do kinda agree with jon about the colour combo. However I don't think its as bad as he thinks lol.

I like them, and I don't think the color even looks bad. 14's are cool though, tires are cheap.

fyi. if you ask any art person he or she will tell you that the color orange/yellow and blue are perfectly across from each other on the color reel. Which combined in a picture or structure makes a simultaneos contrast.

here's a link for ya

Yeah dude, i think they'll look good for sure. We'll have to wait and see though... I mean, Subie's always get the blue and gold rims, no? :P

thats the first thing that came to mind when i bought them.

well see i gave you that link to back up anything anyone ever tells you about them not...uh matching i guess is what normal people would use as a word to describe the complementary contrast between these to shades.



lol

I think they will look good too. Its definitely something different, which is good. I dont like when everybody buys the same stuff.

thanks man!!!

Now all that you have to do is go to Big O and get some rubber mounted up and take some pics with them on your car. Not discount tire, not Les Schwab, Big O. :)

I need to see them with rubber before I form an opinion, but as of right now the look good, but kinda remind me of the rims on my grandparents caravan, I wonder if I have a pic of those around here somewhere.

post them up java!

well anyways, they are gay because now they belong to abe who is gay.


seriously though they could be one of those aftermarket vw with the 4x114.3's.

wait so why are you laughing your fucking ass off at my comment?

I think if they were a little bigger they might look better. But don't listen to me they are your wheels. Right?
