I just ate some kind of small, round metal object going 70 mph on 87 Northbound in NY. Front passenger tire popped like a grape instantly.

Currently waiting on the flatbed to take me to the Honda dealer. I'll make sure to bring extra lube when I come back in the morning to get a replacement.

Huh!? $700 for a Tesla 20" wheel? Cheap! I saw that the CTR wheel from Honda lists for @ $1200 each. Wondering if anyone has replaced a wheel and how much Honda really charged for the wheel.
You should keep checking the internet for good used OEM wheels, people are selling them for no good reason that I can see, maybe want track wheels or something. I just really like the original wheels. Some are obviously in bad shape, but I got a full set of wheels with 1/3 worn Falken summer tires, no curb rash just a few stone chips, on eBay for $1250 including shipping. Perhaps the deal of the century. So, now I have winter tire wheels and carry one with whichever tire is out of season as a spare.

If, you see something like that and have the bucks you should take it immediately, no hanging around waiting to see how the' bids' turn out. Also, there are often single wheels in reasonable condition to provide a backup if needed, or as a spare.

Right now, there's a set with very slightly used OEM tires for sale on this website for about $1800, $450 a wheel with tires, that's a deal.
