Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 02, 2009 4:31 pm) lol, some might just leave the wheel like that. But, there some like you, and I that just obsess about our cars, and anything that takes away from the newness of our cars would drive us nuts. I would do the same thing. However, that is pretty steep for 1 wheel. But, it is honda. I see many cars, even very high end cars with bad curb rash on their rims. One was a newer 7 series BMW. I could only imagine replacing one of those bad boys. I suppose if you park in tight areas, live in the city, your bound to get some markings. --Graduate, I truly miss my Accord. How many miles do you have on yours? I still love the classy look of the previous accord model. Oh, and yes, the engine!! Replies to this message: thegraduate (Nov 03, 2009 8:30 pm)

Replying to: bvdj84 (Nov 03, 2009 6:26 am) Considering that the wheel lists for $229.50, I felt like mounting, balancing, and tax included for $204.00 was reasonable. It was aligned for free where I purchased my tires less than 1k miles before; they also inspected the front suspension for any problems. I left the dealer and went straight there. Was surprised it was free, but pleased nontheless. This was worse than curb rash, there were actually chunks out of the thing. I have 53k on my 06, with 201,600 on my '96. That old one is delivering 30 MPG on my new commute (30 miles of 70 mph freeway with 5 miles suburban). Love em both, but have a ridiculous attachment to my '96. The first car I had (got it at age 15 with 120k miles or so on it), and it hasn't left me stranded other than because of something the dealer messed up... gotta love it!
