One set of four Michelin Arctic Alpin tires, size 195/55-15, currently mounted (and balanced) on stock ITR wheels. I am willing to sell the tires alone for $135, or the wheels and tires for $600. I am not willing to sell the wheels without the tires. I would prefer a Chicago-area buyer, and will meet in a mutually-convenient location; if I ship, you pay shipping in addition to these prices.

Michelin Arctic Alpin tires are designed for superb ice and snow traction. They cost around $330 new. (This model was recently replaced by the Michelin X-Ice tire.)

All wheels are in excellent condition, with no curbing or major chips or gouges; see additional comments below. Center caps are included.

The following describes the condition of each of the wheel/tire combinations:

1. Wheel is in mint condition. Tire has 8/32" tread.

2. Wheel is in mint condition. Tire has 7/32" tread.

3. Wheel has some minor bubbling of the paint in a few small spots on the concave surface between the spokes. Tire has 6/32" tread.

4. Wheel has some minor bubbling of the paint in a few small spots on the concave surface between the spokes. Wheel also has some tiny tiny chips on the face, as though it once fell over onto its face. Tire has 4/32" tread.

Photos are available.

Hey Ken, let me know if D falls through. He needs them worse than I do. (<U>IS </U>that a broken spoke in the below picture?)

But I could use new winter wheels/tires. Mine are the wrong offset/too big, and currently rubbing. (Pilot Alpin 205/50R16 +38)

Ken, you need 16" snows for the NSX?

I do, but the problem you're going to run into is that the OEM wheel locks are not all the same. They're made by McGard for Acura. But even though they may look the same, they don't all fit. I don't know how many different possible "combinations" there are. BTW, what you're looking for is technically the key to the wheel locks, not an extra wheel lock itself (the locks are the ones that replace the lug nuts, the key unlocks the locks). So even if I let you use mine, it might not work at all. You're welcome to try it, though, if you just need to get a lock off and if you don't mind coming to the northern burbs to try it...

I IM'ed the same thing, got a key I'm not using (McGard 04640). There's a lot of different combinations. Pep Boys sells a generic wheel lock remover. Sears sells a stripped bolt remover, if you have an air impact wrench you could use either of those.

Or you could weld a large nut to the head and take it off with that.

Anyway, good luck, better fix it sooner than later because you can't fix a flat tire without it!

True. However, if it's easy to try someone else's key to get you out of a jam, do it.

True story: Two years ago, I was at a track event at Mid-Ohio with my NSX. A friend was also there with his NSX, but had not checked his tires, which were basically shot. I offered to let him use my street tires on the track (they're good OEM tires, like the ones on the ITR), but he didn't have his OEM wheel lock key with him. He was going to have to drive home four hours round trip to get his wheel lock key. I told him, before you go doing that, let's just TRY my key on your wheel locks, and see if it just happens to match. It did.

 

I need the key to get the wheel lock off.
This is what my wheel lock looks like if thats any help.

 

how much are the keys running for at Acura?

I would 'hope' not more than $5-$10.

My key looks a LOT like those, but not quite the same pattern of dimples.

If you can get your locks off, you can have my locks and key if you pick them up. I think I have all four locks.

I'm not sure you can buy them at the dealer...?

What I've done is buy the wheel locks at the dealer (although you can get them anywhere, as long as they're made for Hondas so they have the acorn/spherical shaped seating surface). I've then registered them with McGard (there are instructions inside about how to do that) - this consists of sending them (McGard) a card with the code for your locks on it. I've then ordered a copy of the key direct from McGard using that code.

If you registered your locks by sending the card back to McGard, then you can order another key from them. (You'll find contact information on their website.) If you didn't, and you don't know where the card is, then your chances of getting another key aren't very good (except in the unlikely chance that the dealer installed your wheel locks and wrote down your wheel lock code). You can take it into the dealer or a tire shop, and they can get the locks off - but they will probably ruin them in the process. If you're going to do that, you might want to bring the original extra four lug nuts with you (the ones you removed when you replaced them with the locks) or buy more at your neighborhood auto parts store (again, make sure they're ones designed for Hondas with the acorn/spherical seating surface).

Good luck...
