Altimos are very nice, I was very tempted by them myself, but they don't have a very good reputation for longevity.

To be honest I'd avoid them, Honda will happily replace them under warranty as it costs them nothing, they just return them to the manufacturer, but as soon as your warranty runs out you're a bit stuck.

If you're looking for larger alloys the Type-Rs are a good bet. There are often quite a few sets on eBay, pretty new as well. I managed to get mine, which were brand new, all the extra rubber still on the tyres for £485, where Honda would have been looking for £1500 for the rims alone, nevermind the tyres!
Plus once I've sold my 17" EX alloys I'm looking at £200 max for the upgrade!

how much could i fetch for my type s alloys?

Vet_2010 · 11th June 2008, 21:24

Depends on condition and mileage they have covered.
Brand new ones have been offered for circa £400 on here.

This might give you some idea of price.

As Vet says circa £400 is about right.

Despite longevity issues... Altimos are very, very nice though!

Especially lovely when polished... (check-out my gallery snaps)

is there nothing u can get to stop them from screwing up?

robbo51 · 13th June 2008, 07:18

Regular washing and a few coats of Poorboys Wheel Sealer is bound to help reduce the chance of them blistering/corroding..
But if its a manufacturing fault, they will be replaced by Honda

deamer2k5 · 13th June 2008, 19:44

i wonder if they will be bringing out a new batch tht dont blister. lol
