18" Chrome A-spec wheels

For those of you who purchased the wheels how much did you pay - with tires?

I was just offered 18" Chrome with the pilot sport a/s for $1650 + $150 shipping. I see the best price on ebay for the same combo from an acura dealer is $2400.

Sounds like you are getting a great deal. I paid $1300 plus freight for the wheels alone. My Pirelli PZeroNero M&S tires were another $270 per tire, so together I am right at the 2400 price that you mentioned. The only other thing you may want to get is to have them throw in new TPMS sensors so you don't have to take them off your 17's. Good Luck.

That is an exceptional deal. Make sure they guarantee you in writing that the wheels and tires are new - that pricing makes me suspicious that they have a used set that somebody didn't want.

That is a great deal. Do they have any other sets for that price, especially the gunmeta?

He said he does not have any other wheels/tires. I did ended up buying them. For claficiation they are from a person who owns the RL. He bought the wheels and ended up not using them as he bought some other aftermarket wheels. They are still in the box and he sent me pictures of the wheels they look unused. The tires have the sticker on them still - saying that they are the pilot sport a/s.

If anybody wants the 17" tires from my car - I put them on with 60 miles on the car - and the car will have 3500 miles at the end of next week (when I expect to have the new wheels in). They are the pilot sport a/s. Still virtually new. PM me as I will sell them - I am going to get snow tires for the 17" wheels to swap out between winter and summer. If nobody wants them, then I will just use those in the winter as I am sure they are not bad.

Sorry for those of you who wanted these - I couldn't let myself pass up the offer.

Actually, if anybody wants either the 18" pilot sport a/s (new, 0 miles) or the 17" pilot sport a/s (3500 miles). PM me. I think I want to put summer tires on the 18" wheels and winter tires on the 17" wheels.

vik-

that is a good deal.

my deal was approx $1700 when i had probs with my OEM tires. they charged me 2400 minus 700 creit for the old tires. that included the TPMS.

i think chrome will look great on your blue rl.

mark

ps i am doing the same summer 18s, winter 17s

Apparently I didn't catch this earlier - but the tires that come with that deal are regular michelin pilot sports - NOT the a/s. Those are summer tires, so I am considering keeping those - OTOH i am also considering trading those in for the pirelli nero m&s. They will cost me an additional $135 (i called a local tire place and he said they would swap them out for me).

If I can sell my pilot sport a/s for the 17" wheels (tire rack has them listed for $848 for all 4 - and I will sell for $550+shipping) - then I will put on the dunlop winter sport m3s on the 17" wheels.

Well, I bought the wheels, but I am going to sell them. They are in great condition (brand new) - but I realized I would rather buy some RJ wheels. If anybody wants these PM me. I can give pics. They include 4 unopened TPMS sensors.

Also, they come with the mich pilot sport tires - my local tire place offered me $165 trade in credit on each tire. So if you want another tire for the wheels I can swap them out before shipping them for you (assuming you pay the difference between the tires). That is just if you do not want the pilot sports.

VP911 where did you get 18" Chrome with the pilot sport a/s for $1650 + $150 shipping. The best price I can find is $361 for only 18" Chrome, x tires.

eBay. I am selling mine though, I really want the RJ wheels - more expensive, but I like them more. Although I just saw the mugen wheels and like thema lso, but they are also more expensive.
