Threw some C's on the whip!

The A-Spec's are on and I couldn't be happier of how they look on the CBP. I love how the black chrome looks in different lighting. Tires are Falken 512's 235/35/18 and are a perfect fit.

Thanks man! I am not a fan of chrome either, but A-Spec are awesome! No, I am not dropped, it is likely the front lips, side skirts, and sport bumper (all part of the '12 SE) making it look so.

You bet. They look different in different light. I just want stare at them all day and take pictures at every angel. Drop is not happening in Philly. At least for now.

Looks good. Question: are they really 235/35/18? Looks like a lot of sidewall to me.

That would be a typo. They are 235/45/18. 35 sidewall won't last a day here.

Thank you Acurazine!!! I've learned so much about cars that I can now visually distinguish between 35 and 45 series sidewall!!!!!!

Us older folks call that eyeballing.....

That's one reason I went to 225/40/19 on my Rage wheel also, the original 35 series suffered a blowout when I hit a pothole last year. Also, the rims are only 7.5" wide, hence 225.

Those look great, I'd love to put a set of wheels on our TSX for spring-fall usage. Where did you buy this set from, Acura? If I could get a set reasonably priced I'd do it in a heartbeat. I love the OEM look but with some bling to it.

Tires are actually lower profile than stock since wheels are 18. But they are super quite compared to factory ones.

I had those same wheels. Went through 2 sets of them because the finish kept peeling. Finally traded them in for the V6 wheels. Be really careful about graveled roads and salt. They chip so easily!

Don't have any gravel here, and keeping the stock wheels and tires for winter. But, did you have real Acura A-Spec wheels?
