Si Wheels.. should i get it? :(

KevTazY · 03-26-2008, 07:12 PM

yeah so i know down in the states the wheels
people are selling it for cheaper and well..
everything in canada is more expensive.
im tlaking to a guy about si rims and hes selling it
4 mint si wheels for $850 ... no rock chips or curbs or anything
rims+tires .... should i do it?? or is it too expensive..
i need more of the opinions from the 604's but anyone else
in canada as well. this would be of great help to me,
thanks!!

1chin3s3_b0i · 03-26-2008, 07:19 PM

just make sure you go down with some beat up wheels or steelies and mount them down there

KevTazY · 03-26-2008, 07:33 PM

why would i mount them down there??
oh the guys in burnaby..
i am just wondering if the price is okay for it
for a sale down here in vancouver/richmond area..
if its a yes, imma head down there tomorrow and drop off 8 bills to him

1chin3s3_b0i · 03-26-2008, 07:37 PM

well i only say that because it would suck if you get pulled at customs and see you with wheels in your car....to be safe mounting them would be the best

but if your talking about price...thats a pretty good deal for si wheels with tires and good condition

DumbasSi · 03-26-2008, 07:39 PM

THats way too much. I've had a bought and sold a few sets of Si wheels, the most was $700, but the tires were literaly brand new Falken, not the crappy Michelin tires the Si comes with. Stock wheels with stock tires, $550 tops.

**marc-o-lishuz** · 03-26-2008, 08:07 PM

$850 is ridiculous. Agreed... $550-600 MAX for mint wheels.

Rpm2 · 03-26-2008, 09:14 PM

I paid $400 here and I thought I paid too much so that is way too expensive.

1chin3s3_b0i · 03-26-2008, 09:53 PM

really i see people selling the combo wheel and tire for $1000+ locally..and dealerships are even more...but i guess for wheels only 400 would be reasonable

csxian · 03-26-2008, 10:34 PM

Yeah, as everyone said above, it's a bit pricey. You can get 18" aftermarket rims with tires with your $850. Check from 8th civic member in the US.

ianwells100 · 03-27-2008, 12:10 AM

si wheels for a non-si? why bother?

its not like the Si wheels are particularly nice (we all know the type S wheels are much nicer looking)
also, there's the whole poser si/non-si thing
and the fact that the price is a proverbial arse raping.

i'm all for OEM wheels - but i'd say be more original, type-s' (hardly original), or other honda/acura wheels, unless you really like them, then just shop around for a better deal

klk15 · 03-27-2008, 12:12 AM

wow thats crazy prices...

KevTazY · 03-27-2008, 01:47 AM

its $850 canadian for the tires AND the Rims..
well i called the dealer
they are selling the each rim for 250$ ..
tires are 236$ + tax each.. soo.. it adds up and yeah

so no deal?

meeks · 03-27-2008, 02:24 AM

no deal imo kev! i was thinking about it as well but a lil' bit more savings and get decent aftermarkets

mugen gps'... mmmm... $850 yiiikes!

csxian · 03-27-2008, 06:32 AM

I always thinking of buying rims + tires combo from the US and ship it to a friend's house. They are like $1000 brand new combos. Of course, not 5Zigen or Works brands! Enkei is good enough or Tenzo

Rpm2 · 03-27-2008, 11:01 AM

Find someone on the forum selling them and have them ship it to TSB Shipping Plus and go pick them up.

skykanta · 03-27-2008, 12:23 PM

I actually bought a set of new SI rims and tires for $1200 (Paid in cash so no tax and we're talking about vancouver BC)
However, I exchanged my old tire and rims (25000kms EX coupe tire and rims) for $550 with the bodyshop
So you can actually try to trade in or sell your tire and rims so you don't have to pay that much~

dang thats a lot for rims.. almost dealer price..
$550 with bodyshop??.. which bodyshop did you go to..
im selling mine on vancity buy and sell and people are offering me like $400
my rims+tires only been for 7000km..
anyways i guess i should just buy it for $850? .. its not new tho
he says " mint "

1chin3s3_b0i · 03-27-2008, 12:49 PM

in my honest opinion..i'd get them and sell your ex wheels to compensate the cost
