Forged wheel option weight savings

[evanescent03]

$72k civic is a lot but the added warranties could be added to any car. the ADM is the only painful part but right now you do kinda have to pay to play. I paid $2k over for an Si in Feb '22 and $20k over for a GT4 in June. Lame but a lot of the "we don't charge markup" dealerships don't get units. i'd strongly suggest against ADM for folks who might need to sell before that's wiped away but money can be spent in worse ways.

Also, regarding the M3 comparison ... M3s aren't easy to get at $70k any more. I bought one in 2015 and another 2016 for mid-high $60s after some rebates and such. First was DCT ($72k), second was manual (way more fun and cheaper at $63k). Now it's not uncommon to see an M3 hit $95-100k. insane.

Back on topic -- i'm on the fence about the $3100 wheel "option". I agree that $3100 seems really steep for an option .. but kinda low if an accessory, especially if you get two sets of tires. I'm inclined to think this is an option. Regardless, i'm a big fan of black wheels and 100% will stick to the standard wheels.

if you get to keep the originaal wing and the wheels, why not lol prices are supposed to include installation.

This.

You could sell the stock wheels and wing to recoupe some cash.

The price on Honda's website doesn't include installation. None of Honda's accessory prices include installation. It says it on the website. That being said if you paid markup the least the dealership could do is install them at no additional charge

I should have specified in Canada.
i guess it works differently.. up here the website says it includes installation. no wonder the cost is higher than straight up conversion

It should as the wheels are $3100 at the dealer at time of purchase, they are several hundred less online.

5 lbs savings isn't enough for that kind of money and forge process. The best thing you can do is lighten the wheel weight, I think you can do better in the aftermarket if you can find the right size wheel.

Its like 100pds unsprung. Thats pretty good if you pick them up online for $650 each.

someone on Instagram posted a picture of the back to of these forged wheels and they are made in Taiwan, not Japan who in Taiwan makes wheels? Titan?

Sucks to hear that they are made in Taiwan. But good thing I caught your post. I wouldn't pay that much for these wheels knowing that now.
