I saw this ad on craigslist and cant tell if these are the original color for the aspec wheels. The ad said its been "painted silver-metallic".






thanks for the help!

 

IIRC, "Sparkle Silver" painted A-Spec is one of the OE colors.

 

Originals are 18x8.5 Gunmetal. Color looks off on one of these wheels for sure maybe 2.

 

^ probably just flash. The 04 Aspecs were 18x8.5 GM. All the following model year Aspecs are 18.8

Those looks like OE Aspecs Sparkle Silver, just like Bearcat said.

 

Those look cleannnn

 

2004 ASPEC (18x8.5) also came in Sparkle Silver. Trust me...mine are on my car right now, and ive got the window sticker with them on the car being bought in early 04.

The ones in that add look to be Sparkle Silver finish.

 

They look like Aspec to me...silver. I have the Gunmetal on mine

 

is there an oe part number? after i curbed a wheel, the dealership actually had a hard time hunting down another gunmetal wheel - if i remember correctly, the sparkle silver IS the gunmetal? part number ends with a ONE.

 

i dont see why everyone on this forum is scared of "PAINTED" wheels.. ive had tons of them.. and have painted a few myself.. rims come painted from the factory for the most part.. as long as you take care of them, they will be exactly like the normal finish.. rims are rims.. they NEVER stay perfect on a daily driver.. no matter how careful you are.

I would get them!

 

I saw the same ad. He's selling for $500 so it's nothing to complain about. The paint job looks flawless. BTW, I offered $400 and he said $450. I was gonna pick it up today but I had to work.
