EX/EX-L stock alloys - $500
Just picked up a set of four 16" stock EX alloy wheels and tires for $500.
Good deal or not?
Suppose it doesn't matter as it is a done-deal, but I was dying to lose the steel wheels/hub caps on my LX.
Go ahead ... hammer me with your opinions

The MSRP for the EX/EX-L wheel is $252 each so I'd say you got a hell of a deal.
Had I seen those for sale, I would have snatched them up for myself to have some dedicated snow tires to easily switch out but still keep the stock look.

Snow tires
Thanks for the positive ... tend to second guess myself - after the fact!

My OEM wheels and tires from my EX will be going up for sale, so this is a good data point...

This is exactly why I waited to buy rims ... figured people would be buying custom wheels and unload the factories (which I actually like). For how much are you willing to part with them? I'm sure you can find buyers on this forum

Many times, when they are that cheap ($500.00 for a set of 4 tires and wheels), they were recently separated from another Honda Fit, late at night, in the dark.

You guys are starting to make make nervous, especially Vanguard .... never intended to enter into anything untoward.
Wheels were listed publicly on Craigslist.

I don't mean to make you nervous, but you must admit, $500.00 is a very low low price for what your getting. I might even be tempted at that cheap price, but i would be too nervous to meet anyone from craigslist without having several friends (the big and burley ones), with me.

I was also skeptical and prepared myself for confrontation/interaction which I was NOT prepared to participate in. Everything was cool and dude just wanted to unload ..... he could have kicked my ass if he wasn't carrying that stupid baby ........... thank "#@$?%) for stupid babies

Difference between 15" and 16" is stunning ... I've been looking at those 15's for 2 months and have considered smaller wheels but am liking the upsize. i painted my calipers red back in the day. kiss my lily white ass .... I'm pimpin myself!

My dealer I purchased the LX from had a sheet listing upgrade prices including labor, and the wheels came to be over $1.5k, and probably without tires. So yea, looks like a good deal to me.

Edit...
Did those wheels come with tires? If so super deal!!!

Unfortunately, a lot of Craigslist deals are that way which is why it got its seedy reputation.
Before I purchase "take-offs" like that I want to see the donor car with aftermarket wheels on it. That's isn't a complete assurance, either, but is better than nothing.

I'd entertain offers of $500 for my stock alloys... Might put them up on Craigslist tonite.
