Rims for a Honda Accord typically range from about $50 to $2,000 per wheel, depending on whether you buy used, OEM, or aftermarket, and the size and finish. Installation, tires, and sensors can add to the total.
Rim options and price ranges
The following outlines common options and typical price ranges per wheel as of 2024–2026 to help you budget.
OEM rims: new, used, steel, and alloy
Original Equipment Manufacturer rims come in both alloy and steel, and prices vary by generation and size. Here are typical per-wheel price ranges to guide budgeting.
- New OEM alloy wheel: roughly $200–$400 per wheel for common 16–18" sizes; some higher-end or special editions may be more.
- Used OEM alloy wheel: about $60–$180 per wheel depending on condition and rarity.
- New OEM steel wheel: roughly $60–$120 per wheel; often chosen for winter setups or fleets.
- Used OEM steel wheel: typically $25–$60 per wheel while in salvageable condition.
When buying OEM rims, also factor in costs for center caps, valve stems, and TPMS sensors if needed, as well as potential mounting fees if you’re not reusing your tires.
Aftermarket rims: budget, mid-range, premium
Aftermarket wheels provide a wide spectrum of styles and sizes. Typical per-wheel price ranges vary by material and finish.
- Budget aftermarket wheels: about $100–$250 per wheel; suitable for everyday styling on many Accord trims.
- Mid-range aftermarket wheels: around $250–$500 per wheel; better build quality and finishes (polished, machined, or painted).
- Premium aftermarket wheels: roughly $500–$1,500+ per wheel; include higher-end finishes, lighter materials, or forged construction.
- Forged wheels (high end): often $800–$2,000+ per wheel; used for performance or show builds and typically lighter and stronger but at a higher cost.
Note that some aftermarket wheels require additional hardware or sensors and may affect ride quality and warranty considerations. Always verify compatibility with your Accord’s brake clearance and offset (ET).
Other costs to consider
Beyond the rims themselves, the total expense depends on tires, tire mounting, balancing, and sensors, as well as potential installation fees.
- Tires: If you’re purchasing new rims, you’ll often buy tires simultaneously; price per tire varies widely by brand and size, typically $100–$300+
- TPMS sensors: around $40–$100 per sensor if your wheels require them
- Mounting and balancing: typically $10–$40 per wheel at a shop
- Wheel insurance and warranties: optional but can add $50–$150 per year
Some shops also charge for disposal of old tires or recycling, which can add a few dollars per tire.
What affects the final price?
Several factors drive the cost: the wheel size (16–20 inches and beyond), material (steel, alloy, forged), design complexity, finish (painted, chrome, satin, machined), and whether the wheels are OEM or aftermarket. Local taxes, installation labor, and regional supply can also influence final numbers.
Summary
Rims for a Honda Accord span a broad price range—from modest used steel wheels at the lower end to premium forged aftermarket wheels at the top. Plan for per-wheel costs in the ranges above and budget for tires, TPMS, mounting, and potential installation fees. For a typical daily-driver upgrade, many owners source a set of four alloy wheels in the 17–18 inch range with mid-range finishes, budgeting roughly $1,000–$2,500 for wheels alone, plus tires and services elsewhere in the $400–$1,000 range depending on choices.
