Sometimes, it's easier to just go to a dealer to get them. Lots of times, people want 4-500 for HX wheels... and you can get them from a dealer at times for $80 each, brand new.

It's the same thing for buying gaskets and such for Hondas.. its' almost always cheaper to get most of your parts from the dealer.

Aero - How much of that $1000 is the tires vs the wheels? I know LRR's are expensive, but you shouldn't have paid more than about $50 each for those wheels, and that's even a premium for them.

I asked $300 a few years ago for a NIB set of them, and I got scoffed at until I found someone that was doing a period correct restoration of an '86 CR-X Si.

Sometimes it pays to sit and wait.
