It seems to be fair value but...
It's probably just me, but is there something disconcerting about a Honda sporting wheels with Acura logos?

Hmmm I don't know is there??? IMHO I've seen many 7th gen Accords with 3rd gen TL wheels and they look pretty good to me. If I could, I'd go for the A-spec or RSX-S but those seldom come by in a set and when they do the price is not right for me.

I would assume you can get them repaired/reconditioned for not too much right, I'm thinking probably $40/wheel.

By the time you pay to get them fixed...........you can purchase a brand new NICE set of wheels IMHO. :dunno:

What I decided to get (pic below) $100 for this one and then $170 for a reconditioned one from the same guy picked up, now I will have a about a 6-8 week shopping time frame to find another pair. I'm currently in talks with another dealer for a used one. :banana: If all fails I'm okay with ~$220 for a new one from H and A. I'm also getting the HFP suspension kit as well. woo hoo!

I believe these are the Acura 3G TL A-spec 18x8 5 double spoke wheels with a 45mm offset
