I just upgrade my rims on my new TL

What re these worth?




Ive seen other factory rims go for $500 a set on Ebay but that seems really cheap for a factory wheel set.

About 200 miles on them.

And where is the best place to sell them?

Here is a bad shot of the new rims.

Sigh.. You bought and chromed the 17" stockies

beav626

It was my best option with staying with the stock tire size. I wanted Chrome and I actually liked the 09-11 style. Also I never saw that wheel chromed so I ill be a tad different then the rest.
Since this is the wifes car I have to keep it somewhat simple... and the 22's on my truck are feeding my need for now.

so essentially.. you.... wasted... your money... you could have got 18 inch stock wheels..

you can sell them for maybe 100 a rim plus shipping.

And spend more money on rubber. No thanks. It looks good this way. Not too sporty but classy

potmilkz

can you tell me how much you paid for those "chromed" stock 17's?

Mr Marco

Ehum,
Seems like some folks have lost touch with the concept of an alloy/mag wheel. The main reason for upgrading wheels (IMHO) is to find a suitable lightweight platform for good rubber. It should be light, preferably not chrome and "cool lookin."

Think about it, there is nothing between you and the ditch besides your tires. Go ahead, be cheap. That blur on the twisty will be me passing you on the corner.

NO---Don't buy these!


YES! \/ This one is good!


!!!Take \/ these off the car ASAP.


YES!!!! And get a set of these:

$550

Im sure Factory wheels are safe and reliable and I think they look good.

By the way you wont be passing me in my cars

potmilkz

i just dont see the point of spending money on the same set of rims..

isnt that just spending "more" money as you so call it?

you can justify spending that much on exactly the same thing yet dont like the fact that you have to spend it on tires..





im sorry but my rides are cooler..




jkkkkkkkkkk

beav626

That pic made my mess up my seat

Actually if I can get new rims installed for $650 and sell the others for (Hopefully) $650 its a wash for Chrome wheels.

Thats my reasoning

potmilkz

or you could have just asked dealer when you bought the car to slap on the 18 sh-awd wheels for 1000 more..

thats what i did.. paid 1000 more and got 18 inch oem wheels.

the 17's were not cutting it..


but its too late now for you.

Mr Marco

Then you should know better...

suros10

I'm sure you could find stock 18s for cheap man. Those 17s aren't cutting it, even worse, CHROME! =/

Again if I went with a bigger wheel I would have to buy new rubber. Putting me close to $1k

By keeping the same size I kept the rubber and will be able to recoup my cost by selling my stock rims. virtually a no cost upgrade

Im surprised more Acura drivers aren't running chrome rims, especially on white.

I didn't want to turn this car into a sport looking sedan by doing grey or black rims. Our last car was the sport sedan. This one is more luxury for us.
