sure!

but be sure to check out all 4 wheels before you pull the plug.
thats mighty cheap for all 4 wheels, especially being the aspec wheels.

fyi; generally, 10+ year old oem wheels go for about $300-400 a set!
you might want to check each wheel out before you purchase

of course only thing im kinda worried about is if they are bent I don't have a way of telling...

most times you can eyeball a bent wheel. you'll know if its bent

mattcl-s

ok ill put them on tomorrow see how they ride then store them for the winter. I shouldn't have any clearance issues my car isn't lowered or anything

mattcl-s

he originally wanted 300 for the set but went down to 200 cause hes tired of having people call him about them and not picking the wheels up ha

mattcl-s

got them mounted a re-balanced not sure if they are 18x8 or the 18x8.5 ill have to take them off this week to look. tires are potenza re760 sports but they're almost bald. wheels have some curb rash but im taking them to get powder coated at the end of the month and get the rash fixed that will be about 450$.

a great looking wheel!

mattcl-s

Agreed!

thoiboi

there's a lip so it's 18x8. 200 is a pretty good deal considering!

mattcl-s

this might sound like a dumb question but, would having really bad tires cause the car to pull to one side during acceleration and stopping? checked the psi one side is only not far off from the other.

Def!!!!!
swap sides and see if it does it!

mattcl-s

ok, ill do that this weekend and swap my normal wheels back on. winter is coming need to be ready!

rp_guy

mattcl-s

Nice, dude...
aspec wheels are my favorite!
Prismatic has a color called Acura Silver...
I'm curious to know what oem wheel color they are trying to mimic with that.

mattcl-s

the color will kinda of look like tl type s wheels. yeah when I put the tires on I was not paying attention to the tread ware so two of the tires were more worn down then the others and I had them mixed up with the front and backs that what gave it the vibrations

anthracite grey!

mattcl-s

this is the color their going to be the guy I know will do them for 405 for the set stage 1 powder coat

Did you custom finish them? Black tends to be super sleeper because in lower light levels like evening, the wheels basically disappear. Maybe a matte Graphite metallic will be stealthy enough and still show off the design?

And the wheels you have are most likely 8" wide only, because the 8.5" width was darker and the tire profile looks kinda bulgy as opposed to stretch on the 8.5".

I actually sold the wheels. between fixing curb rash on all 4 which were not in the best shape, powder coat, and new rubber it was more money than I was looking to spend plus I was heading on a snowboarding vacation and thought I could use then money there instead but I do I have my eyes open for another set when they pop up one that will be in better shape

rp_guy

wish you posted here i would have taken them for sure!

found a local member that got them for $400 when they were being cleared out..now he's trying to sell them in very rough shape for $700...

mattcl-s

I think I know the ones you're talking about have black plasti dip on them and look really dirty off a TL? oh well my car is forming rust and the back wheel wells tried to prevent it from getting worse but it wa coming from in inside somehow its a common problem in MN seen other acura with the rust in the same spot it tough to buy a nice set of wheels whens there is rust ya know

Call me when you are ready, I can get you set up on some nice RJ wheels that are much lighter and fit just as good.
