Rim was eaten by curb
I just scratched the shit out of my rim (stock cl-p) leaving a pep boys trying to get new wiper blades, towels, and maybe some rhino ramps to keep my car looking and running nice.
I end up leaving the place and having to buy a new rim.
I checked the blackmarket and only saw one user selling 4 rims.
I only need one, so I found one on ebay its like $165 shipped.
Do you think its a good price?
Should I just buy a set of 4 cl-s rims? What's the price on those?
I was also thinkin about the tsx rims, but they are a little expensive for me right now.
I wanna stay stock acura for rims.
Thanks

How bad is it? Is it leaking? Just deal with it, save the cash and get the TSX wheels. I had a wheel fixed at Wheels America and they did a pretty good job and it onlt cost me $135.

Which are lighter, the type-s rims or the tsx rims?
I'm assuming the cl-p rims are the heaviest.
I think i'd rather put the type s then the tsx.
But since I can get the cl-p rim for $170 shippped brand new it seems like a good option.

If you plan on getting a set to use year round, sell your good wheels and use the cash to buy the Cls or TSX wheels. I think you should be able to get at least $200 for a set of CLp wheels on ebay even if one is curbed and with the $170 you were going to spend to replace the curbed wheel, that's $370. Spend $30 more and get the TSX wheels.

I did put one on my car. I went to my mechanic and he had a brand new TSX with about 500 miles on it. The chick that own it didn't see the curb and messed up a wheel. He put one on my car for me. It looked weird. I really didn't like it.

now with photoshop!
Ok here is the comparison! A quick 5 min photoshop job done by my bro. Thanks bro! I'm kinda of feeling the 06 tsx, i dont think they look bad like everyone says. See for yourself:
stock
tsx rims
I also have cross drilled slotted rotors that you'd be able to see better.
REACTIONS?

2004 acura TSX for the win..
look for pictures of ravi's car; it looks super clean, actually better suited in my opinion than the stock '01 wheels.

Here's what it looked like with the 04 TSX wheels. These wheels should show up on a fellow A-CL member's car soon.
