Hi, I recently hit a curb pretty hard, and the front left tire completely blew out, and there were some scratches on the rim as well. I know I'm gonna have to replace the tire for sure, but I'm not too sure about the rim. I've been told by several people that the rims can be simply sanded or filed down? Does anyone know how much its going to cost to replace the RDX rims and tires? I believe its going to cost me about $300+? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

 

R u talking the factory rim or aftermarket for a replacement

 

The Michelin MXM4 will cost about $170 and you may have to shave it to match the circumference of the others, so you don't stress the AWD system. The Acura wheel is probably about $400, however there are places that use CNC machinery to true a bent rim now.

Wheel Collision Center in Allentown PA can true a bent rim and re-finish it to look brand new, for about 1/3 the price of a new Acura rim. You can ship to them and they turn around in about 10 days.

There are probably places close to where you live as well.

 

Hmm, well I live in Vancouver. I went to costco and they were the chepest at about $260 per tire. Yea im looking for the standard rim that coems with the car, wow a rim cost 400 dollars..?

 

$400, maybe more...a stock rim replacement is usually expensive.

 

Yea, I figured, found someone whose willing to sell 2 for 250, which is an amazing deal. what are some things i should look for when inspecting the rims? Like how will I know they will fit on my RDX?
