    My leased clarity Oem wheel got damaged from a Curb and was wondering what's the best way to deal with it.

    Should I replace the wheel or just get it repaired for now and at the lease return see what are my options?

    Does anyone know how much an order wheel would cost to replace or repair?

    If OEM is expensive just repair it. Lease company will never know and it’s a fully accepted and standard process done all the time. Geographic regions vary, but expect to pay $125 to $179 most of the time.

    That said, you may not have an option. From photo that’s pretty severe. Some wheel shops may not touch it and will say it’s not repairable. Nothing to lose by asking though.

    I’ve see these wheels relatively inexpensive on EBay. That’s another alternative vs just running straight to dealer to pay full MSRP. Pretty sure most come without the plastic cover which can be swapped and yours doesn’t look damaged.

    Thanks a lot for the advise..
    You are right the plastic part is not damaged. I looked up Honda oem wheel and it shows the cost to be around 300-350 and the eBay wheels are like 275. I wonder if the eBay price is too high or the oem wheel price is incorrect

    It seems Honda oem replacement will cost 879 with old wheel trade in..

    Well that pretty much settles that. In your shoes I’ll probably buy the Ebay wheel and take it somewhere to have the tire swapped...
