'07 CGP TL gets some A-Spec love...

as per this thread:

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/picked-up-set-used-18-aspecs-823761/


I slapped them on and took the TL for a spin..didn't notice anything out of the ordinary at all except:
1. maybe 20% more stiffer ride
2. wheels are definitely heavier than stock 07 17"


pix: **TL is stock height*

Damn those look great!

You'll get used to the rougher ride. It's due to the smaller sidewall on the tires.

can someone help me out with the a-spec color? i know there are 3: sparkle silver, gunmetal and some other type of silver. the only thing these rims didnt come with is the appropriate center cap so i gotta order those. for now, i stuck in my center caps from my stockies but obviously they are a bit off.

all i can say is the surface of the rim is very reflective so it's not a matte finish... but i dunno the actual color.

thanks!

My 1st guess would be hyper silver (also call smoke chrome)
2nd guess is sparkle silver

I think it is "smoke chrome" =)

They for sure are not chrome. I'm really not certain, but I'd say silver sparkle. IIRC, the gun metal ones were only made for a limited time and the only options in production now are chrome and silver sparkle. Again, not certain, but I believe so...

99% sure the rims you have are Hyper Silver. Whatever the color though, they look great on your car!!

AckTL05 sells these...Read through this thread for clarification...https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...1#post12659172

Is the rim "reflective" or just "shiny"? The black chrome is very reflective, like a mirror.

It's not reflective. Has a glossy coating and very shiny. Yah I'm pretty convinced
That they are hyper silver. I pm'd Ack. If someone has the part no of the center cap
Handy please reply. Thanks.

Looks like hyper silver to me, i was about to order them myself a few months ago but went with something else.

Aspec kit would make it look even better!

CGP is great color. (Almost as good as AM...) Seriously though, it seems to pick up hues from the environment and you get the subtle color differences from different angles. Nice, ride.

Those centercaps you ordered were cheap for a reason. Look at the lip around them and then look at the ones you have now. Those are not OEM centercaps.

got the center caps from Tim .... did i get the right ones? they dont seem to match the wheels polished finish but i guess that's how it is?

Also.. i looked behind the wheel and saw no wheel part number.. just the engraved words 'ENKEI', 'HONDA MOTOR CORP', '18x8 45'..and some other number that says 'SEP 880B '
