A replacement rim for a Honda Accord typically costs between about $60 and $600 per wheel, depending on whether you choose steel or alloy, the wheel size (16–19 inches), and whether you buy an OEM wheel or an aftermarket option.
Understanding wheel options and price ranges
To navigate the market, it helps to separate OEM (Honda factory) rims from aftermarket options and to consider size, finish, and condition. The following lists provide a snapshot of typical price bands you can expect in the current market.
OEM Honda Accord rims
Below are typical new OEM wheel price ranges by common sizes for recent Accord models. Prices can vary by year, trim, and supplier, and do not include mounting, balancing, tires, or sensors.
- 16-inch steel wheel: $60–$120
- 16-inch alloy wheel: $150–$250
- 17-inch alloy wheel: $180–$320
- 18-inch alloy wheel: $230–$450
- 19-inch alloy wheel: $350–$600
In practice, OEM wheels from Honda dealers or official parts suppliers tend to fall within these ranges, with finishes or rare finishes (like machined or chrome) pushing toward the higher end. Installation and potential taxes or shipping can add to the total cost.
Aftermarket rims
Aftermarket wheels offer a broad price spectrum depending on brand, material, and construction. The following bands reflect typical market pricing for common aftermarket options. Note that prices listed are per wheel and do not include tires or mounting.
- Basic steel aftermarket wheel: $40–$100
- Budget alloy wheels: $60–$180
- Mid-range alloy wheels (brands like Enkei, Motegi, TSW): $120–$260
- Premium forged or high-end alloy wheels (brands like BBS, HRE, Rays): $300–$1000+
Discounts, sale events, or package deals can shift these prices. Always confirm exact fitment, weight, and warranty terms when buying aftermarket rims.
Fitment, installation, and where to buy
Choosing a rim also means verifying fitment and compatibility. Key factors include bolt pattern, center bore, offset, and brake clearance. The Honda Accord commonly uses a 5-lug pattern, but exact specifications vary by model year and trim. Always check the wheel’s compatibility with your specific car and consider hub rings if the center bore differs from your hub.
Where to buy
Reliable sources include Honda authorized parts departments, reputable online retailers that specialize in wheels, and well-known auto parts marketplaces. Popular options include OEM part retailers, Tire Rack, and established aftermarket wheel shops. When buying, factor in mounting/balancing, alignment if needed, and any warranty coverage.
Summary
For most Honda Accord owners, a rim replacement will land somewhere between $60 and $600 per wheel depending on whether you choose OEM or aftermarket, and on wheel size and finish. Steel wheels tend to be the cheapest, while larger or specialty finishes push costs higher. Always verify fitment for your exact year and trim, and budget for installation and related services to complete the replacement.
