    ^ Take note that Modulo rims are HONDA rims, quoted at the CASA.

    In the USA, they're called HFP = Honda FACTORY Performance.

    I can hardly see why OEM rims that come with your car can be more expensive than an accessory designed by your carmaker for that same car.

    I can get a set of 16" OEM rims for the 1.8 civic for 15-20k FYI w/o trade in.

    Not such a good deal IMO.

    sales talk sir. imho

    no doubt sa quality ng oem rims. but yung point din si sir mda ang di ko maintindihan.

    and given the fact na sa casa ka nagpaquote ng brand new oem rims (P54,000). sa casa laging hefty price.

    late suggestion ko na lang, dapat nag canvass ka muna bago ka kumagat sa 20k na presyo sir.

    one thing is, 20k for oem 2nd hand rims? kahit ako doubt ako sa computation ko, its a mere and wild guess. pinalaki ko lang para lumapit sa pagkakabili mo sir.

    starting price should be 20K, not 27k
    wild discount 2-4k
    trade in mags with tires 6k

    ang opinion ko, kunwari lang yan na nakadiscount ka ng 7k form the 27k. makes the discounted price 20k. mukha lang na magaling magbigay ng discount yung napagbilhan mu sir kase hindi maliit ang 7k. 28-30% discount din yun. pero kung iisipin ko, napakalaking patong/tubo siguro ang ginawa nung seller kase hindi naman niya ibibigay yung 7k kung maliit lang ang kanyang tubo from the initial price na 27k.

    gets mu sir? hehe

    Ah yeah.

    Bottomline is that taga yung sa casa.

    I asked for the quotation for OEM 16" rims dati sa casa (2006 2.0L Civic variant)



    ---> 12k for each (WITHOUT TIRES).

    Then I saw that they were also selling Modulo 17"s



    --> 7.5k each.

    Lookswise, I think it's easy to decide which one looks sportier/better AND cheaper.

    Pati ako di ko gets pricing nila hahahaha

    Eto daw po ang reason kaya mahal ang OEM mags. Unlike daw po sa mga modulo or rota.
    And note. Hindi Rota ang TE37 hehehehehehehe. Try comparing the quality of OEMs to REAL Volk rims. You'll be thoroughly surprised.

    Mahal pagkabili mo sa oem mags sir but if you're happy with it then it's npt a problem. Ganyan talaga ang business eh.
    For 27K oem you can already get a bnew 17S Rota....
    And I don't believe that OEM or aftermarket mags/rims are different at all. It all boils down to what materials were used in making such products.

    Oo nga po, kahit anong parts naman laging ang mahal sa casa.
    Anyway, so far naman eh satisfied ako.

    Actually ang budget ko is P10K para palitan yung kalbo kong mga gulong na 14" stock michelin. Balak ko sana ipalit ay Good Year. So ang nangyari, nagdadag ako ng 4K pa at napalitan yung mags ko ng 15" stock rims ng 1.5E with 5 days old tires na may kuntil pa.

    Feeling ko nag abono ako ng 4K, pero pag minamasdan ko naman yung oto ko, new look sya at with bagong tire...kaya parang relieved na rin kahit pano. 4K additional for upgrade to 15" and new look. Mas gumanda ang handling nung maging 15".

    kasi kung bibili ako ng rota mags, sasamahn ko syempre ng tires, so lalabas baka nasa 30K ang ilalabas ko lahat lahat. Tapos abala pa sa pagbebenta ng luma kong 14" stock.

    hayyyyyy

    Aejay17, hayaan mo na, naghahanap buhay sya eh, normal lang na tumubo sya. Kahit paano eh nauunawaan ko sya sa tubo nya sa akin, kc business man din ako, basta next time alam ko na ang presyuhan. Tumubo rin naman ako kanina sa 5 pcs na laptop na nabenta ko , hehehe.
