Orig owner of a 2004 TSX w/stock rims. Thinking about an upgrade to the silver stars that were an option in '04-'06, as I recently damaged one rim and the dealer wants over $500 to replace it -- ONE rim. Or get the silver stars for $250 each. Seems like a ripoff, and the SS look much better ... but are they only 1/2 as good?

Anyone who has driven on silver stars for a while (especially those in in areas with rough roads and potholes) please speak your peace.

Thanks.

No experience with the silverstars but just so you know, you can get mint condition single OEM rims all day long from eBay for muuuuch less than what the dealer is gouging you for.

I think the Silverstars may be cheaper because they were also offered as a Honda HFP part on the Accords - and as you know, Honda charges less for parts than Acura!

The honda ones are actually a lighter color than the acura ones. I have the honda ones and cant complain. I've been on them for almost a year now and have hit some pretty nasty pot holes in philly.

I'd say go for it, you'll love the darker color

same as dmassott, I have the Honda wheels (EP-R5) for about half a year now. They've held up pretty well against the Northern VA/DC roads.


When I was shopping around for them, I know acura of escondido had a set of silverstars and the EP-R5 on ebay for 550$

Thanks for the votes of confirmation. I pick up the car w/her new shoes tomorrow morning.
