$28,500 is a really good deal.

Maybe this link will work for the wheels on this Type S. Downside is they are only offering me $20.5 for my pristine '06 TL 6mt w/ nav with 36k miles. HArd to justify $8k more but it is a 2 year newer vehicle, type s with only 11k miles. I think they are at their limit. I may try to sell on my own but with the economy that may be harder to do and not the best time of year to try to sell a car either. Any thoughts.

+1. I paid about $28,6xx for my 07 Type-S that has the same attributes of the one you are currently considering buying.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the chrome rims. I don't think they are as sporty-looking as the Type-S wheels.

Are these Acura A Spec 18" wheels or could they be another brand with the Acura center cap? They look chrome and I'm not a huge fan of chrome. Do they "bling" too much. Thanks

Those are original acura a-spec wheels. I agree i'm not a big phone of chrome but they come in different finishes as well.

Too bad those other finishes weren't on this car. This car has these wheels on them already. Guess the original owner wanted 18's, wanted chrome or didn't like theOEM Type S wheels. Either way, if I buy this i get these wheels.

Can you get an ASpec suspension for a Type S or is this overkill and make the ride very harsh on rough pavement or highway use. Most of my driving is on good roads with a lot of highway. might be worth pursuing since the 18's are already on there.
