Re: 08 OEM machined wheels on a 06 RL (pics)

Had my wheels put on by Piazza Honda of Dexel Hill today. I mention their name because when I arrived, I was quoted a price of 99.99. After sitting in the waiting room for 30 minutes, a service flunky came out and said because of the TPMS, it would be an additional 100 dollars. Needless to say , I was not a happy camper and told him so. When they were done they "knocked off" 20 dollars. So the bottom line is 611 dollars for the wheels and locks shipped, mounted and balanced .

The old bait and switch, eh?

I would have insisted that they honor the price, and if they refused, I would have said, ok, thank you, I'll take my wheels down to Scott in West Chester.

Mine were done at my local NTB store. I sorry Bud, I don't remember what I was charged, but I know it wasn't $50 a wheel. The only thing they told me is that removing and replacing the TPMS was at my own risk. I told them to do their best. TPMS is working fine.

I hope you're still happy with the new look.

They look great and my locks arrived today also. I guess they would have charged extra to put them on.

Well, after writing a nasty-gram to the service manager, he called and is sending me a check for 47 dollars. So the bottom line on the wheel switch stands at 564 dollars.

That's a little better! I hope that removes some of the sting.

It does Joe, and while on the phone with him, I made an appointment to take someone with me on a test drive for my drivers seat wiggle. Bud

Slide show was great and I do like the look of your wheels. I also like your side moldings. I didnot have any problems with the Kodak site, the slide show worked fine.
