2014 rims vs. 2017 spoked rims---will they fit?

[pekingduck]

Regarding the cost of the new Honda 2017EX wheels, they won't be cheap either. Here's a price list of the major required parts, with pricing from an online dealer (hondaparts-direct) that I find the least expensive. Your findings may vary.

Front: (an assembled wheel with spokes would be $167 more)
hub $173
rim 183
pulser ring 18
disc rotors 610
disc bolts 11
tube/rim strip 25
wheel spacers 15
------------------------
front subtotal $1035 (stock wheel $1202)


Rear: (an assembled wheel with spokes would be $103 more)
hub $280
rim 231
tube/rim strip 28
wheel spacers 26
caliper bracket 97
brake hose 37
drive flange 128
---------------------------
rear subtotal $827 (stock wheel $930)


If it has to be chromed, Buchanan's chrome spokes and nipples are about $300 per wheel, and $100 per wheel lacing and truing them up, plus the price of chroming the rims (estimated $200-300 each), so another $1200-1400.

I am waiting for some ordered parts, so next week I will be converting my 2017 EX to 2014 DLX wheels. I will start a new thread on it then, and see if the caliper bracket, brake hose and drive flange truly need to be replaced when swapping wheels.
