My 03 TL-S OEM 17" alloy wheels are garbage, help

the center caps look like crap. couple wheels got pretty good damage from harsh winters/bad driving. did i mention i can barely make out the "A" on my center caps?? I think there is still half of an A on one wheel.....

OK. HELP. Or one of you MUST have or KNOW WHERE i can get OEM Type-S wheels on the cheap....

Thanks..

MODS- this is important and i fear noone will look on the black market for my posting

Try your local craigslist or junk yard... Got mine (02 Type-S) to replace the factory 99 wheels for $185 on craigslist.

dammm i was afraid of this. can i even find them thru an acura dealer? i can try wheel america and bring my car to the shop while its done.

Silva-type-s let's see those pics of the wheels tomorrow im dam interested....

Obviously going through dealer would be payin a few bucks but ust how many bucks would be the main thing.. perhaps curryacura.com or one of those kinda places that are sponsored on here and such... I still need new center caps... the "A" is destroyed on most wheels and hurts my eyes frankly, causes stress. does wheel america fix my center caps too with the patented trademark Acura "A" symbol ??...... i mean, i can deal with it i suppose but no... no, i really cant.

i need new OEM wheels or like new, center caps and all

hmm i guess i can deal without the caps.. or just clean them up get rid of the "A" all together. i do have one rim with the edge (where the rim meets tire) ripped up pretty good so maybe they can fix that too. i just gotta set my car on cement blocks for a couple days...

they are remanufactured, meaning they were messed up like yours, but have been fixed.

I only need centercaps, as I only have a few nicks here and there. I am gonna re-do my wheels myself in a few weeks when I paint them.

I am going to homestead this coming weekend for NASCAR Championship Week, and then I am trying to get a group of Aziners to head down for a huge car show on Decmeber 20th at the track....You interested?
