OEM 19" wheels
Anyone get the wheel upgrade? Wondering what the cost is to upgrade rather than have 2 sets of wheels. Point of purchase upgrades are much easier to justify than after the fact!

That sounds about right for a stock combo credit. Guess it depends how bad your winters get as to whether it is best to have 2 sets. You are not that far north of me (Louisville), but I know Ohio gets considerably more snow than we do.

I received an $800 credit for the 18" OEM and purchased the 19" sparkle.
Here are two threads from last Oct right before I purchased with details.

I haven't noticed it being any rougher, but then again I come from a Prelude and my only experience with the 18" tires was my test drive.

I think so too... if you check out the 19" wheels on tirerack, add on the tires, you probably touching around $1800.00 max. You just don't have the Acura wheel cap that's all.

If you break down the pricing of $3500 you will also see that the Dunlops are almost as expensive as the wheels. If you just buy the wheels and then have your tire place mount and balance and switch your TPMS you can do better. The 19" Sparkle Silver wheels from Acura are $455 each. The Dunlop tires for them are $394.70 each. You ought to be able to shave $500-$800 off the $3500 price by selecting less expensive tires.

The point is that it's rediculous to pay that much money for factory rims that are 19", my suggestion would be to save your money and get aftermarket 20" rims for even cheaper (hence why I simply added chrome stock 18" rims instead of the 19" rims and tires, just to much money IMO)
