your A-spec wheels are rarer than the Type S wheels. i would just leave those on and slam it.

i was thinking about that too, but my aspec wheels need to be refinished, the previous owner of my car didnt take care of the wheels at all. its going to cost me at least $400 to get mine refinished. i can get a set of brand new 3g tl-s wheels for $1,200 taxes included. thats not bad for oe wheels. plus i think the colour of the type s wheels will look really good on my black aspec

if you're spending 1200, get some Volk CE28s!

they got to be my favorite rims. I want them in White. I'd settle for any color and powdercoat them myself though

You would be an idiot to spend that much on OEM wheels. You could easily find a used set with decent tires for half of that.
If you really want these, set your budget at $500-600 and look around.
