OK I have a 07 TL that is 5 weeks old, I added the Type-S tails and really liek the Type S wheels. I was at the dealer and the parts manager mentioedn they have a set of new Type-s wheels that came off a car that got a 18" upgrade. He is willing to swap my wheels for those for $600. New Type-S wheels list for $282 each so I figure this saves me the hassle of trying to unload my old wheels and gets me the Type-S wheels. What do you think?

 

go for it, try to bargain for less, but if not, and u really want them, get them =)

 

I'd rather have the 18" aspecs, but $600 sounds like a good deal.

 

$600 seems a little much. I would say maybe $200 + swap. The question is what makes those rims that much better than the ones you have now?

 

I agree, $600 sounds too high. This is only about 1/2 off list, plus you are giving up your current wheels. I would think you could haggle lower, or purchase elsewhere. I don't think the Type S wheels are that "hot" an option, so he should be trying to unload them.

 

I like the style. I would love the A-SPEC, but don't want to shell out $$ for wheels and tires.

 

I have an 07 TLS and I think the graphite wheels always look dirty.... am I totally out of touch?????

 

is he giving you new tires as well or just the rims? even if it was just the rims, i think $600 is fair if you really like them. bottom line- it's your money spend it how you want.

 

I'd check around in the black market and see if anyone is trying to unload their oem rims. A lot of people complain about not liking them so maybe you'll have some luck.

quick search in the BM turned these up... https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...t=tl+type+rims

They're currently going for $800 plus shipping; maybe you could sell your's privately or work something out. Good luck

 

I think the OE wheels on the Type s are ugly at best. If I was stuck with them I'd replace with chrome or brushed aluminum maybe 5 spoke and resembling original wheels on the standard TL. I traded my OE wheels on my 06 for chrome at Paramount Wheels in CA for about $125 each. They look great. Best deal I could find on the internet or eBay.

 

I am selling my tls wheels on the black market for $500 plus shipping e-mail me if you want pics or more information.

I just sent an email about those wheels. I wouldn't mind having them on my 7th gen Accord

 

I was able to keep my OEM's plus they gave me the 18"'s with marshall tires since I purchased the car with the A-spec body kit.

 

Yes the S wheels look dirty, they also remind me od the wheels that used to be in the Isuzu i-mark back in the 80's.
