I want to start saving up for rims for my potential first car, but i have some questions.?
First of all, here is the link for my potential car i wanna buy. i know its cheap, but its my budget.

I don’t know the size of the rims so if maybe someone could tell me that, would be awesome!
Also, here are the rims that i think are very stylish in my eyes and are also in my budget. But i don’t know if these would fit on this car. here’s the link:

and while i was looking at the checkout looking at shipping prices, i saw all this extra stuff. for example, is the warranty worth buying ? i think so, cause you never know what might happen. Also tire locks, like they said it is to make sure your rims don’t get stolen. Should i buy that? and also the chrom hubcaps, obviously i need to buy those. so im just wondering if i should by the tire locks and if the warranty is worth it?
Thank you all very much!

They look to be about 16s on the car right now. Yes the rims should fit. Honestly with the money you’ll spend on the rims i’d do some nice interior mods (system) but if you have a high crime rate around you why not just go ahead and buy the lock and if the warranty doesn’t cost to much buy it… the only thing it can do is help.
p.s. nice find
A ’96 Accord EX came with 15″ tires. You can plus size, if you like.
I think this should work. Tire Rack has a cool preview rims feature. Hopefully the link will work with that car set up:

(Edit: Changed it to the coupe. As for the other questions, I don’t think extended warranties are really worth it, and I’m unsure of the benefit of hubcaps over alloy wheels. Finally, while rims are nice, if you’re buying a 13 year old car on a budget–even an Accord–you should make sure you have enough for good tires, brakes, exhaust and whatever else it may need).
warranty and lock lugs ..go for it ….can go up to 17 inch rims without any scrubing.i used to work with a man that had a dealer ship and only had hondas there all of them had different rims on it he had between 16 to 17 inch and 1 with 18 and they scrubed bad had to chang them
