Nice, are these one piece alloys? How heavy are they? Did it come with centering rings?

Yes, those are one piece allow, I believe the weight is 25lb and no centering rings as the guy at the store said I don't need them

Alex, go back to the store and tell "This GUY" You do needed centering rings.These rims have 72.62mm center bore and Acura have 64.1mm. Yes, You can get away without them but I think better do this right.

Hub rings are very simple to do yourself my man, unbolt the wheel and slap them on and put the wheel back on. As for tinting the lights its all preference, im one of the if i have a dark car i dont want my lights are dark as the car so i would so a liht tint. But some people just like that dark on dark look. Good luck with the car and i must say i am jealous of your black interior

Slawek, thanks for the offer - I will definitely let you know if I have any problems installing them but from the pictures on the net seems to be no more than half an hour to spend on all 4 ;-)
