Sonic, show some pics of them on your car? how much? what kind of tire did you get with them?

 

Those look great, hurry up and get them installed

 

Look great, can't wait to see them installed!

-Travis

 

Unfortunately I dont have the car yet. Have to wait for my car till sometime very late April...

I bought the whole set for $908 out the door.

I plan to put Yokohama AVS DB2 on them b/c I heard those tires are good and quiet but I might change my mind to go with other brands if there is a better one.

Any recomendation on the tires to use with those OEM 18" rims is greatly appriciate!

 

Looks SOOOOOOO nice!! Where did you purchase from? I have not heard or seen any chrome OEM 18" until seeing yours. I am even more in love with these wheels now.

 

Lore, may be we should have a group buy on this

 

Sonic,
Nice looking rims. Noticed from pics that these are made by Enkei, the same manufacturer for the OEM 18" alloy wheels for Acura. I'm very interested on the weight of these wheels, is it possible for you to weigh one of these & let us know how many pounds?

Also, does anyone know are these chrome wheels made, chrome plated or entirely made of chrome? If chrome plated, what's the material inside? Steel/alum/alloy? Appreciate any reply. Thanks.

 

Sonic .. looks fabulous!

can't wait to see it on your car.. what color car do you have? It'll look good on ANY color, come to think of it.

Jshih .. those ARE the a-spec rims .. they were chrome plated.. the added weight is about 2lbs per rim over the stock 25lbs per rim (A-spec rim).

 

Love the rims! Where did you get them? I have been looking the the Pirelli PZero Neros.

 

where did you get the rims for 908??? can you get that price without the chrome?

 

What the fuuuuck. You gonna tell us where you got that price, or not?

Come on bro....cough up!

 

Yokohama AVS DB2.... can someone confirm these tires are quiet? also comparison to the pilot sports? thanks in advance. you can pm the answers if you want but I think it may be something we call can learn from.

 

Hello Sonic, would you mind to share with us where you purchase your rims and where to get chromed?

 

Sonic...Awesome wheels! Where did you get them? Group buy might not be a bad idea.

 

I got them from Acura of Temecular.

Here is a little story about the price:
I originally ordered the gun metal for 908, but when I come over the dealer, the salelady said only one rim left! so she gave me a discount 100 off for the time I spend to drive to the dealer!
I saw the chrome rim display there and felt in love with it so I asked her how much it costs me to have the chrome rims. To my surprise, she told me I need to add an extra $150 for 4 rims, but after a little talk.. she said she can made it 908 out the door.
I said go for it... and you know what happened next ...
Later on I found that she gave me such a great deal before she moves to work at Honda dealer.

Peter,

I got the Anthracite-Quart combo. Hope the rims look good on the Anthracite.

P.S: I can put up a pic of receipt if you think I need to prove the price

 

I have the Yokohama AVS DB2 on my 18 inch wheels and love them. They handle well and look great on the car. I have about 3500 miles on them and so far no signs of any wear. I have noticed some flat spoting when temps are below 30 degrees but they seem to be fine after no longer than 1/4 of a mile. Seems odd but after that they are very very smooth!

 

Actually ya. for kix, can u put a picture of the receipt?

 

someone need to organize a group buy of the 18" RIMs!

I am in for it!!!!

 

 

 

I tried one -- but got a lot of pushback from members of the community. Do a quick search for "group buy" and you should find my thread. If enough people want it I'm still willing to help everyone out.

 

would a group buy on 18s get it cheaper than 908 out the door?

 

No -- and interestingly enough, the dealer I arranged for the group buy is the same dealer that Sonic got his from. I guess the prices went up for the wheels. The dealer told me that their cost was $227 (which I confirmed by calling a parts department across the country) so they're selling the wheels at 237.50, which is slightly less than 5% profit.

If you guys are still interested post in my original thread.

 

Install them already!

-Travis

 

NICE CARPET!:wow:

 

Yes lets see what they look like. I get my WDP Tuesday.
Would consider the 18's for summer, OEM for winter.

Tire? I'm not speed racer, just want a reliable, good looking tire at a reasonable price.
I've heard great things about the Falkens, which tire??
Craig

 

I want these on my WDP with Falken 512 ZIEX tires.
What size?
Craig

 

Is Toyo Proxes T1-S quiet? I checked with a tire dealer near my work place and they said total 245/tire (included install). Any comment on the price and the tire itself?

Thanks

 

Just got my WDP/Parchment/5AT/Navi yesterday. WOW! What a neat car!!
I want these chrome 18" OEM rims. Where do I order them?
Craig

 

I looked up Acura dealers on the web site and there is no Temecular Acura.
Help.
Craig

 

It's Norm Reeves Acura - Temecula

Norm Reeves Acura - Temecula

 

SONIC -

Do you have them installed yet?
-Travis

 

I e-mail inquired the dealer and they responded $429...each for the chromed 18" rims.
That takes me out.
Craig

 

Yeah, I think the chrome rims would be significantly higher than the OEM 18s that we're trying to do via group buy. I think that's because they have to send them to a third party to get chromed.

 

are they on yet?

 

chrome isn't my thing, but they definitely look pretty good.

 

Install them already!

-Travis
FOLKS,
HE DOESN"T HAVE THE CAR YET!

 

Er, aren't chromed rims what we are talking about here? I know there is another thread about a group purchase of non chrome A spec 18" rims but this thread started
with chromed rims. I want them but not at $429 each.

What other rims are like these? Any suggestions?
Craig

 

THose Chrome rims look sick. I still feel for a group buy we should get a better deal or equal deal to Sonics. Perhaps we need to check Curry Acura. They have really great prices. If I get a chance I will check with them tomorrow.
