Can't wait to pick up new RJ Inspyre set.

Hello all.
I just placed an order of a set complete tire and wheel from Acura dealer ,it takes about 3-5 days to deliver, can't wait to see them. Just want to know your opion.
My baby is wdp 07 tl type-s.
RJ Inspyre brillian crome wheels 19".
Toyo tl1 tire 235-35-19.
Tpsm.
So the total is $3700 cnd and this will be installed by Acura dealer.
What you guys think, is it too expensive? is it gonna look good on wdp?. Its was very hard for me to decided between the crome and liquid graphite .Actualy they have a set of Legend liquid silver and tires are already installed for $2600 plus the taxes 13%, he said some one cancelled but i don't think its look good with silver.
Thanks

Thumbs down Cancel Your Order

RJ Inspyres - Brilliant Chrome Plated: $435 on RJ site x4 = $1740
http://www.ronjonwheels.com/inspyre.html

Tires can't be more than $200x4 = $800

Mounting/balancing/installation $120

Alignment $80

------------------

That's STILL $1000 less than you were quoted!!! Cancel your order, quick!

Like the others said, cancel your order.

But in regards to color, I like how Liquid Graphite looks on some member's WDPs

Yes sir! that how Canadian have to pay, new Tl type-s here is $47,000 plus 13% taxes, in US $33,000 plus 6% tax, so you do the math.
Actualy i pay $400 for the rim x 4 = $1,600
$350for the tire x 4 = $1,400
$45 for the sensor x 4 = $180
$108 labour plus 13%tax
yes i will try to post some pictures on after, but how do you do this.
please help ppl
Thanks

The tax in Canada is whats Highway Robbery!!!! Your breakdown shows accurate pricing, except for the tires, you could have gone with some cheaper tires that will still be very nice in fact. But if your happy its cool.

For the question on posting pics. Check this link out

Yeah, he's from Canada, thats the key in the markup, not the dealer. Actually, their pricing relative to the custom fees and duty is very fair. BTW, they shipped out today and should be getting there shortly.

That sounds about right. When I was looking at a set of RJ Legend LGs, the Woodbine price was only slightly higher than the US price.

Tires, on the other hand, we get raped for up here....
