New wheels for a Honda CR-V typically cost from about $100 to $1,000 per wheel, depending on size, material, and whether they are OEM or aftermarket. Installation and mounting can add to the total price.
Prices vary by trim and generation, because wheel diameter and design change with model year. This article breaks down the main price ranges, what influences them, and where to shop for CR-V wheels.
Wheel options and typical price ranges
Wheels come in several categories. Here's a quick breakdown of the price ranges by wheel type.
- OEM steel wheels: typically $100–$200 per wheel, commonly used on base or winter setups.
- OEM aluminum alloy wheels: usually $200–$500 per wheel for standard factory designs; higher-end finishes can reach $500–$700.
- OEM premium or designer finishes (special edition wheels): $500–$1,000+ per wheel.
- Aftermarket alloy wheels (mid-range): $100–$400 per wheel for entry-level designs; $400–$700 for nicer finishes.
- Forged aftermarket wheels (premium): $600–$1,200+ per wheel, depending on brand and size.
Prices vary by supplier, location, and wheel size; shipping and taxes apply, and some wheels include mounting hardware. Always verify current quotes with sellers.
Additional costs to consider when replacing wheels
In addition to the wheel price, there are several related costs to budget for when replacing wheels on a CR-V.
- Mounting, balancing, and tire mounting if you’re reusing or installing new tires: typically $15–$45 per wheel.
- TPMS sensors (replaced if damaged or not compatible): $60–$120 per sensor, plus labor if programming is required.
- Valve stems and related hardware: a few dollars per wheel.
- Labor for wheel installation and any wheel alignment if required after mounting: $60–$100 for installation; alignment if needed can add $80–$150.
- New tires (optional if you’re swapping only rims): price varies widely by tire size and brand, roughly $100–$300 per tire for budget all-season tires, more for premium brands.
Note that prices can vary widely by shop and region; some shops offer package deals or discounts for bundled services.
Where to buy and how to compare
Consumers can source CR-V wheels from several channels. Each has its own pricing dynamics, return policies, and warranties.
- Honda dealerships (OEM wheels): typically the most expensive option but guaranteed compatibility and full warranty.
- Official or authorized online retailers: often provide OEM or replica wheels with warranties and home shipping; prices vary.
- Tire and wheel specialty shops: competitive pricing and installation services; options include OEM and aftermarket wheels.
- Online marketplaces and aftermarket brands: broadest price range; ensure correct fitment and TPMS compatibility.
- Salvage yards and used-wheel sellers: lowest prices but higher risk; inspect for bends or corrosion.
Always compare total costs, including shipping, taxes, and installation, and verify fitment for your specific CR-V model year and trim before purchase.
Choosing the right wheel size and fitment
The CR-V’s wheel size depends on model year and trim. Common modern configurations range roughly from 17 to 19 inches in diameter, with width and bolt pattern tied to the vehicle’s spec. Incorrect sizes can affect performance, ride quality, and safety. Always confirm size and bolt pattern using the vehicle’s manual, the VIN, or the manufacturer’s parts catalog.
Common sizes and considerations by model year
While sizes vary, buyers should expect that newer CR-Vs commonly use 17–19-inch wheels on most trims. The exact width, offset, and bolt pattern must match the hub and brake caliper clearances. Aftermarket wheels should include proper TPMS compatibility and load rating.
Consult the owner’s manual or a VIN-specific parts catalog to confirm the exact size and fit for your vehicle before purchasing wheels.
Summary
For a Honda CR-V, plan for a wide price range per wheel based on OEM versus aftermarket, size, and finish—roughly $100 to $1,000 or more. Add mounting, TPMS sensors, valves, and installation costs. Shop across dealerships, online retailers, and independent shops to compare total costs and ensure proper fitment for your model year and trim.
