Default Is this a good deal? $480 new SI rims

I've been shopping around for some winter wheels, and found this Honda shop that is selling brand new SI wheels for $480. Seems like a good deal, comes out to $120 a rim. I know Rota's can be found cheaper but I like the simple SI style. Has any one seen prices for the blade GSR's?



Thanks all,
rob

i say get rotas and the money you save you can get new tires. the SS is a nice simple look and the look good too.

I do like the new polished lip Rota's. I might go with a C8 if not the SI.

even though they are new, you could probably get same rims in about same conditon for like 300-400. Keep in mind they are only a few years old even if they are 99

I had a set of black SS wheels before. I wasn't too impressed with the paint quality and they looked too glossy. They were also the first gen of the wheels with out the spoke fluting.
