Default Buy these rims for $600 w/ tires? (pic included)

Dude is selling me these rims for $600 ... I don't know what brand they are, but he says he originally bought them for $1300 with tires. Can anyone identify the brand?

They are off a 03 Accord Coupe. The rims are "universal" or something like that, meaning they fit all bolt patterns, so they should fit If I get them.

he may have been referring to doing a bolt pattern conversion or just trying to rip you off. I may be wrong but im pretty sure the bolt pattern on an 04 accord isnt 5x100

Is there a stamp or anything on the back side? Also a quick google says 03 accord is 114.5mm x 5. You need 5x100mm.

^ well, you kinda burst my bubble there with the link, lol. Its weird, because he was so confident that they would fit, he was willing to swap them on the spot. I didn't have time however. Oh well ...

well i think they would fit seeing as they have mutiple bolt patterns but that also compromises its structural integrity and when it comes to wheels, you want to be rolling on something you can rely on

they look like a universal 5 lug. which means they are probably 5x114 and 5x100

^ I wonder if the original owner had this in mind, before he made the decision to go with "universal" over the ones specifically made for his bolt pattern.

They are a universal 5 lug nut, meaning they can fit a 5x100 and 5x114. That is why there are 10 holes on it. That's how my rims are, so it will pretty much fit.
