Consumer Reports just did a tire test and the primacy was ranked number one. That will probably be my next tire.

Yes, I also just read that in Consumer Reports about the Primacy as being ranked number one. I will also be replacing my tires soon with either that tire or the highly ranked Pilot Exalto A/S. Bother are ranked high in ride comfort and noise. The Exalto would handle better but the Primacy would have a longer tread life. Both are very good in rain and snow and cost is about the same.

I also have bought 2 sets of the Yokohama Avid H4S for my 2007 Accord and
have been very happy with them. Good handling tires and got 55k on each set.
Bought thru Tire Rack which has also been a very good experience. Agree
with your assesment of the original Michelins.

Used Wheel, New Wheel? by thegraduate

Hey all, I've got a bit of a dilemma. Today I was run off the road and into a tall curb. The tire appears ok, but the wheel is chewed up all around, and after I get everything checked out, I plan to replace the wheel.
 
Any thoughts on how much I can expect to pay for one, thoughts for where I should shop (besides the obvious 2 choices of dealer and junkyard)? The car is pictured below - has the 16" alloys (2006 EX I4).
 

 
ANY input is welcome and appreciated, as always.
 
Thanks in advance,

try ebay and craigs, and also some of the Honda enthousiast sites. You might be able to find a set of take offs (someone that decided to put dubs on it!), although it might be hard to find a set of 4. Or, look for some 17" accord or TL wheels if you want to +1.
 
I should be getting a replacement wheel for my Odyssey (one of them got smushed a bit it seems, and is very hard to balance), but I haven't ever really looked.
 
I will guess a new one at the dealer is going to be $500+?

This just happened today, so I haven't priced them. I'll obviously price-check through some dealers in Birmingham to see how much I should expect. I'm not looking to upsize (I bought new tires less than 1,000 miles ago and love them), and don't need a whole set of 4. Just one wheel.
 
I've never priced wheels at a junkyard, or elsewhere, and don't have a clue what I should expect to pay.
 
Thanks,

Take a look at the online Honda dealers. They offer Honda alloy wheels for less then $200 ea. Not sure if they have your wheel or not.

cheaper than I thought by stickguy

did a quick google (damn, I love the internet!)
 
Found a used one for $229 shipped at everdrive, then found what appears to be a new one, inc. shipping, for $180 from cheaphondaparts.com.
 
these were for my oddyssey. price varies for the Accord, and I forget if you have an '06 or an '07, and for '06, there are 2 different 16" options.
 
for $180. I might just pick one up before the next time I go for a rotate and balance!

Don't know for sure, if this is your wheel or not, but they have one for $139 (plus shpping of course) at Majestic Honda. (click on parts, then scroll down to wheels)

When one of the wheels on my 92 started peeling, I bought a new one, and kept it, for a full size spare.
 
I'll be in your neighborhood next Saturday Grad, KISS concert.

Coming to the 'ham and the BJCC? Nice! Be glad it is supposed to warm up - our low is supposed to be in the low thirties tonight. Not sure how much you've been (or if you have) but let me know if you want to know some good places to eat!
 
I checked the site you linked me to elroy, my wheel is $184 with shipping. Not terrible at all considering its new. May print that, take it to my dealer, and see if I can get it there.
 
I found a page on eBay, with wheels pictured that match my car. They had 429 reviews, 427 positive, 2 neutral, 0 negative. They remanufacture wheels to "above-factory-standards" and have my wheel for $139 before shipping. Of course I can't find the link at the moment though!
 
Thanks for the continued advice...
