That's a hell of a drop...I don't blame them for helping you out. Smart approach, you are a squeaky wheel.

The power of social media -- I love it!

Still sucks to have to shell out any money, but $290 is a hell of a break if you think about it. Hope your family is doing well, Dan!

Ok so small update again.

Acura Corp just called and my local dealer where I bought my car will not accept acuras goodwill and is refusing to do the work. Acura is now trying to find another dealer to do the repair and I will here back in the next week.

Seriously, how the fawk does a dealer tell Acura Corp they won't do a repair

How do you know?
Buy em!
Then again, for the price of XXR's...you can buy the wheels and tires for what you'll pay for just a used set of wheels.

I often regret having bought my works...

The xxr 530's I want are 18x8.75 and the rears are. 18x9.75 so I should be able to keep my 235 tires since I don't need a hell of a stretch
