Just out of curiosity, where did you get them? Did you stock them from the beginning and no one "know" they existing, so no one get them from you?

Btw I already ordered a set from you ~ meow =)

Just wondering.... I know you say they are just the wheels. Is there some kind of deal you could do if we wanted tires too? So they could be shipped with the tires already mounted?

Hope that is not asking too much, just a question

quick question to those to who have ordered or just have the general knowledge. i'm looking for a nice quality set of wheel locks.

Are these A-Spec's considered aftermarket and require the "cone-tip" style lug nuts? Or do you need a flat bottomed lug nut.

Any help would be much appreciated.

btw...

^^ What are the tire specs there?

I'm on the verge of saying screw it and buying a set of these. Anyone have a pic of them on a NBP TL?

No...they are original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wheels and as such they use the OEM lugs and locks.

does anyone know the best method of finding out the correct tire pressure if you get a different sized tire (ex. 245/40R18) for the 18x8.5 gunmetal aspec wheels?

obviously the tires that we buy have a maximum PSI on the tire, but quite obviously we shouldn't be running around with 50-something PSI.

my question is where is the most reliable and accurate resource to obtain the correct tire pressure when not following the manufacturer's recommended tire size?

Got my 18x8.5 A-Specs from Rob last week Great vendor, fast shipping and packed very securely. Of course the price is hard to beat as well. I'm just amazed he has been able to offer so many of these relatively rare wheels for sale brand new in boxes for so long!

Some pics on my NBP-S

They do look hot.

Maybe I'll get lucky and there'll still be some available in the spring when I ain't so broke...
