I am not sure if you guys know...but there is no such thing as "OEM" Chrome wheels from Acura (or Honda for that matter). What I mean is that Honda only manufactures Painted and Machined wheels.

Honda Accessories (HAC) on the other hand might make a chrome wheel but I doubt it cause they have similar requirements to Honda. (for some reason I remember an Integra wheel being an HAC accessory chrome wheel but can't be for certain).

If the dealers tell you that there is a FACTORY chrome option for the TL or any current Acura/Honda...they are LYING to you!!! Go to the official Honda/Acura website and see if you can build a car with a chorme wheel option. (I bet you can't)

See, when someone gets an A-spec package or the 18" wheels...hey they have a set of good 17" wheels laying around (unless you ask for them too..cause your $30k+ did pay for those 17" wheels in your purchase price of the car). What the dealer does is send out factory wheels to get chromed from some chrome shop. It is an easy whole lotta $$ for the dealer.

Honda will not and should not warranty the appearance of the wheel after it is chromed, the dealer should. SO those of you that like the bling-look...just be aware of what you are buying.

Honda doesn't manufacture any rims at all

OK..you got me....Honda does not manufacture wheels.
"Honda designed wheels that are manufactured for assembly at Honda Manufacturing Plants like, Marysville, East Liberty, Alliston, Alabama, Japan plants...are only Painted or Machined"

didnt honda commission Enkei to make the a-spec 18" wheels?

In my case, when I bought mine the dealer told me that they were wheels that they bought from some place in Vegas that sent out the factory ones to be chromed.

I still bought them and so far so good.

Most Honda wheels are supplied by Enkei.
Honda also uses other Japanese Suppliers for wheels as well
