Default Trying to buy a set of CR rims, why are honda parts expensive?

I just called Honda and inquired about how much CR rims each would cost and one front is $600+ and a single rear rim is over $700.

Why does Honda charge that much for replacement parts? Isn't that inhibitedly expensive for someone who owns a Honda?

Is this all markup on OEM stuff or is there another reason for this?

If I can't get CR rims does anyone know of rims that are similar to the ROH Adrenalin 17"? They don't make them anymore.

You can get them from estore.honda.com for less, and you pick them up fom the dealer.

My local dealer has them for $389 front and $455 rear.

I paid $425 for a set of AP2V3's with good tires on them. When I replaced the tires, I sold the TPMS stems for $85. $340 for a set of wheels and tires that I got 7k miles out of FTW!
