    Is it worth buying Se-i or Lx-i stock rims from the junkyard?

    I was think about buying rims I don't have to worry about bending. I want to drive them year around. I would buy SI rims but I'm spending all of my money to performance right now. How much do you think those rims would go for? What do you guys think?

    I have 14" Accord Si Rims... They are beat up though.
    I picked them up at the same time I picked up my JDM tails.

    I pulled them off an SI... like I said, i got the rims at the same time I got the SI tails. As for the B20... well I came back to ask for a price but it was already pulled... the accord was white and the body and paint was in absolute flawless condition. I wanted to pocket the badging.

    yeah, that's why i was surprised to see that you got those wheels. i have never seen a 3rd gen Si, but i love those wheels on the 4th gen SEs. good find.

    I like the JDM Accord Si rims . Between the SEi and the LXi rims, I'd choose the SEi rims though. I got mine for $35 each at a local junkyard.
