Rep Power: 308

I was searching for an OEM set of LX-S wheels for my 2010 FA1 in Michigan on the car-part site. They came from a 2011 ( I need TMPS )

I called they company and the guy said yes, $175 each + a $50 core charge for each wheel

O.K.... you are now at MSRP and that is without shipping $$.

Majestic sells them each for $156.40

Why would a junkyard want a core charge for wheels? You'd think they'd want to get rid of stuff not trade it for more stuff.

Some junk yards are totally unreasonable with their pricing..

I called about a bumper for my civic awhile ago and was quoted $350.

It made no sense to me. I could see it on a re-man alternator or starter from a parts store... but a junkyard ?? For wheels ?? and to top it off they have 8 of them available.

A while back I was looking for a steel wheel for a full size spare and they all wanted $50, very near msrp.

Wow. I bought a new oem replacement for $150 although my dad had to pull a few strings, 150 with tax included for a primer black bumper is a good deal.

Some junkyards try to make up for lost sales on parts by charging more for others..rims are in a different category for most junkyards and use them as wholesale and not resale..if that makes sense to you..I think its crap but they got to stay in business to i guess

I ended up with 4 brand new 16 x 6.5 5 spoke TPMS shipped for about $170 each.

My RSAs are getting pretty worn, I may have to get my Michelins sooner than expected.

Around 34k miles and the rsa's are done, pretty sad.

Cool, make sure you post up some pics when you get them on.

I bought a whole new set of wheels for $450 shipped from these guys. If you need replacements i suggest you check them out they had the best prices when i was looking online. They have both OEM reconditioned and new replicas which are usually a lot cheaper.
