"A" looks very Mercedes, without being a mismatch to your car. "B" looks very much like what you've got, which I like anyway.

Yes, you wish.

None of you need a single wheel.

I may just get it as a spare.

If the question is on aesthetics, I guess either one works. Classic 5 spoke is always nice, especially if you want to show off the rotor and caliper. You might actually be able to read Acura instead of Acur or cura.

Don't know much about the Chinese made wheel...it could be great like many things that come out of China, or not so great. I see that the Tire Rack carries it, so they are reputable, and must have some sort of standards

But of course, the big thing is do we know it fits? Can you return it if it does not, or do a test fit, or call the mfg rep, or all of the above.

Are you sticking with the 8 inch width



Are you getting 4 or just one as a spare. If just one as a spare, of course, you go with what you have, the 7 spoke Acura wheel.

Do check with the dealer if a full size spare fits. I am told that it does not fit in the tire well, but have never actually tried it.

Chas, I got confused on the question...I was thinking of getting a stock spare...and obviously I wouldn't stuff it in the trunk.
