are they the stock 2006+ rims from the luxury ?
If they are you can call honda and ask them i dont now exactly how much they would cost but a rought estimation would have to be around $2000 because its honda.

If the rims are aftermarket rims, you would need to source out, what rims they are and go to tempe tyres or somewhere and get a quote. Or post a pic up here and some of us will help you.

Rims alone are $500-550 from the dealer I think.

Edit: I'm referring to the 17" 10 spoke rims that come on the 2005 Luxury and Euro Sport models.

Give us a brand or any photo of it otherwise we cannot judge by "17 inch rims"

For the 10 spoke 17" 2005 Luxury/Sport rims, yes. Crazy dealers.

I think the crappy 16" rims are also a similar price. hehehe. They are just trying to rip us off. Kind of like buying tyres from the dealer. ;)

lol typical car dealers, charging a ridiculous price and making a huge profit.

Honda use Enkei's which arent really that special, they are good quality though.

Yep they are euro lux rims.

Call a honda dealer's spare parts section and ask for the purchase price

Check with Honda Australia to be sure but I thought that Euro Luxury always had 17" rims so yours are standard hence no separate cost for their value should be required as "They were standard equipment from the factory and not a modification".

The 2003 and 2004 Euro Lux came with 16" rims

Redbook ftw

...actually, redbook say that the 2005 and 2006 lux also have 16" rims lol, someone forgot to update the specs in 2005

But yeah im very sure the earlier euro's came with 16", there's a lux at work with 16" standard rims
