Best place to buy Type-S wheels

I've been trying to find a good set of used 07-08 Type-S wheels but most of the prices I've seen on here, ebay & craigslist are around $800-$1000 after shipping. Most of them include the tires but they are usually worn and not that good anyway. So with that said I'm beginning to think that it might make more sense just to buy brand new wheels. So does anybody know where I can find the best price? There's an Acura dealer on ebay selling them for $880 + $60 shipped minus tmps and center caps but I'm planning to use the tpms from my 06 oem wheels. Are they better places to buy these?

Not unless you hit up craigs list and stumble on a deal...Black Market is your best bet that you dont end up with stolen rims....big problem with the waffles BTW

i just picked up a set off craigslist for 700 with new tires! just keep looking and you will find some.. a guy near me just had a set for 600 with newer winter tires! they are around you just gotta wait alittle.

i think paying 880 plus sensors and caps is crazy. those caps are 150 shipped plus sensors are atleast 150..even tho u have them..you should calculate that...

but good luck
