Why are these so inexpensive?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-ORIGINAL-19-ACURA-RDX-MDX-TSX-TL-RSX-RL-WHEELS-RIMS-FACTORY-STOCK-71758-/251886800945?fits=Year%3A2004%7CMake%3AAcura%7CModel%3ATL&hash=item3aa59f9031&vxp=mtr
I don't think Acura/Honda ever produced 19" wheels. These are 19s and are at a seemingly ridiculously low price.

Anyone know the deal with these?

They have the right bolt pattern so they should fit, I'd be weary of how heavy these bad boys are though

According to bernardiparts.com the OEM P/N is 08W19-STK-XXX, but I am suspect of the last three digits. However justn is right in that there is an OEM 19" rim for the first gen RDX.

I knew there was something about it, just didn't realize that it's the RDX wheel

Thanks

Maybe they are slow and non-moving for them? -

its almost the end of the 2nd gen RDX's life...

it's only natural that a wheel that was developed for the 1st gen which isnt sold any more to decline in price. Supply and Demand.

plus, if the seller is a wholesaler, he's already getting a great discount on the wheels and can sell at whatever he pleases. Supply and demand

I coulda sworn I saw these wheels on a TL up here somewhere.

Although it looks similar to the A-Spec wheels, I'd still think the A-Specs look way better even though they are 18".

Couple people run these. I almost bought this wheel a while back.
They want 150.00 shipping. So this isn't a very good price. You can find them for 600 shipped or less if you look around.


These are +45 also and would look better by running spacers.
