I was just at Honda City Sales getting oil changed on my 1.3 MT City and I decided it's time I finally buy the rims that come with Aspire When I went to parts section to inquire about the price they said one rim costs RS. 20,900 so a set of 4 rims would cost RS 83,600 o. Moreover they said a booking would be required before they can procure the rims for me. Isn't it insane? in 83.6K I could get ANY rims even in 16". I am not even disappointed I am shocked!
yet people will buy it no matter
A Wheels shop guy told me a few days back the price of new and same Aspire rims as 35-40k. Didn't get to see the rims myself but you can check the market. The 3S dealers are always way too expensive.
Well, I also got a quote from a local rims dealer for 35k but he said these are from Thailand (don't know where originals are from). I kind of want the same look but don't want to compromise on quality as well. I guess i should look at Lenso etc
35-40k ones are removed from a car, Not the actual purchase price. Orignal Almunium rims are expencive no wonder Vossen, Lenso, Advanti rims start from 45+ a set
if you want a brand new oem rim straight from factory then thats the price, back in 2010 i inquired about price of altis wheels form 3S and was quoted 85k too, but they didn't require booking and had in stock
But you guys agree that for a budget closer to 85k (which I don't have, mine is 45-50) I should look at other options. Why buy something common.
was having a debate with a friend simple city vs aspirei was convincing him for aspire and they said they can live with the plain one
at the time of booking his dad said i like the rims....please add aspire rims to my city when he saw the price of the rims, they quietly booked an aspire and returned back home(and happily lived ever after )
That is what logically should be done WHEN you are confused between Simple city and Aspire as we can see, its a ridiculous investment otherwise. Just feels too much on the pocket.
market price is lower also atlas honda gets most of the parts from Thailand 80k is just ripoff , once i saw the same aspire rims in 16 inch size in Bilal Gunj which are offered in thailand and they looked pretty good, actually a lot better then 15 inch, the guy was asking 40k final including tyre which were i think 10-20 k driven, china copy new ones are around 27k,
A aam City is for 1,508k and Aspire is 1,638k....so if you pay an additional 130,000, you get the alloys, leather seats, fog lights and the navigation, am I right??? please correct me if I am wrong.
You are right
^ Thank you..
As far as I know, original ones are also Thai made. Those lensos et el in the range of 35-40k are again Thai made not Japanese I guess.
Do they install remote key system in regular city or u missed it for Aspire?
I don't know about other people, but to me it really makes sense to go for Aspire with 130k extra for all those goodies already installed by company instead of looking around in the market later on. In my aspire, I never went out to get anything for the car except for the floor mats.
80k for rims pure leather seat covers for 70-80k.......upgrade of aspire is value for money imo
there are a number of branded wheels for that price, one can get. lol.
pure leather seat covers?? - you sure about that? I was in Pakistan recently and was driving this POS city asspire with all the goodies from AHL including the seat covers, It was not leather by any stretch of the imagination.
You should come up with a solid reason for calling it leatherite or artificial. Altis uses artificial in the main center piece and genuine leather on sides
And yes many people get seat covers on top of these by the way :
