CU2 Luxury Rim Price

[I CU2]

I'm looking to replace my rims with some new ones as mine have some gutter rash.

How mch should I pay for a set of 4 new CU2 lux rims?

[marquee]

To be honest what ever the dealer charges you. You will be paying an arm and a leg though.

You can take your rims to get fixed at a few places they will fix the gutter rush for you

I've been offered a set for $700, is this a good deal or not?

[natnat]

rrp is around $800 each last time i rang honda parts.

$700 a set is quite good for the OEM 18" wheels only.

last year i bought a set from Gold Coast for $1300 + courier via ebay with near new tyres.. and another deal on ebay went for $1000 pick up from newcastle with near new tyres. then there were another 2 sets, one with tyres asking $1500 from Canberra and another one wheels only $800. (i think i look at ebay too much! :p)

but you can get japanese made lightweight enkei's in 18x8 offset +45 for $1400-$1900

[I CU2]

I called up Honda and they wanted $855.70 each!

They said if I buy 4, they'd do it for $740 each. Ridiculous.

Does anyone know the PCD and offset of the 18" OEM rims?

i believe it's 5x114.5, 18x8, offset +55.

Nearly 3K for OEM rims!!They must be on drugs.

keep an eye out on ebay and gumtree for people who sell theirs

[Rudy]

yep true go for Ebay , Gumtree etc. You will save 2+ k. But as others said you can get them repaired/ refurbished for a fraction of the price.

I would highly recommend Depulu Wheels.

They repaired my CU2 lux rims and they did a fantastic job and quick only 2 days turnaround.
repair cost $150 - $200

with CU2 luxury wheels because of the diamond machine finish, the only way to remove gutter marks is by shaving the face off and then applying new clear coat i believe.

i have seen one repaired, when i put it side by side to a normal one it was quite obvious.

at the moment my wife's CU2 has gutter marks on both front wheels, front right was caused by 'normal wear and tear' she said.. front left was caused by 'daydreaming' while parking she said...

As I said in my last post I had Depulu Wheels repair 2 wheels with gutter marks and I think they are nearly perfect repair!!

Both wheels where machined and clear coated and next to the untouched wheels you have to look really closely to see anything difference.

How much did you sell your OEM tyres/wheel for?

[Lemonhead]

sold it around end of last year for 1330, tyres and wheels, local pick up, ebay, one wheel did have minor gutter rash, but the tyres were like new. buyer was going to put them onto his CL9.. would have love to see the pic

Looks off, I've seen a few and the rims just look outta place, the 17 inch from the standard CU2 fits much better

[I CU2]

Picked up the set, worked out if it's going to cost me $150 to repair the rims. Might aswell pay $175 for new rims.

I'll keep them as spares till my current ones get really bad.

$521 each (plus freight and GST!) from an Acura dealer online but you could probably get a better deal if you contact a dealer like Acura of Peoria parts dept via the ebay link. I believe that the 18" wheels are only available on the Acura TSX V6 in the USA.

The part no. is 42700-TP1-A91. The wheels are made by Hitachi.
