I've been looking on craigslist for a nicer set of wheels. The OEM 7 spoke V6 wheels on the 7th gen Accords are a little drab looking to me. Really wanted to stick with 16" wheels, driving 25-30,000 mile a year, replacing tires at $100 each is a lot better than $150 each. Found a set of Acura RSX wheels for $250 including tires that were in similar shape to the ones I had. Rims were in pretty good shape, some minor scuffing on a couple, tires had good wear all across. Cleaned them with Power Clean and ONR, then polished them (including the barrels-which aren't ever going to come out perfect, did what I could) with Optimum Compound II and Polish II, washed them again with Power Clean and water, then Opti-Coated them. Also swapped out the Acura and Honda center caps, with the bottom of the Honda "H" facing the valve stems on all four wheels. We fancy now. 
Not a straight swap though, had to file down the caliper brackets a little to add some clearance-it was really tight! Might get some thin spacers to add a touch more clearance to be extra safe. What really surprised me was how light the wheels were. Got to be at least 2-3 pound lighter than the ones I had. Really noticeable difference between the two.

The details matter!
