A-SPEC wheels are getting refinished and powder coated today!
I will get pictures up later this evening! I am having my 18x8.5 gunmetal A-SPEC wheels refinished and powder coated gunmetal today. I am super excited to have them looking clean with no more curb rash. Sticking with the factory color of course, IMO nothing looks better than an SSM with gunmetal wheels! BEST COMBO!
Well, I work for ACURA so I got a rediculous price to do them. I got them done basically for nothing...I am only paying 220! I think he would normally charge around 125 a wheel. I am good friends with the guy that is doing them so I not only got a good deal from work, but he then hooked me up so it was stupid cheap!

Nice pricing!
I apologize for the delay. Here are a few horrible shots, I am going to clean the car up tomorrow and have some good pictures for all to see. From what they looked like before, these look amazing!

Really nice looking powder coat job. I have a set of 8.5 A-Specs that need to be refinished. Your job is motivating me to get this done sooner than later. Very nice.

Very nice! I need the powder code for that 
Damn I'm jealous

I have been really busy lately, wanted to get some good pictures up...and answer a few questions I got from some of you. This guy is contracted out by Bobby Rahal ACURA in Mechanicsburg, PA. I will have to find out what he used exactly to match. I researched forever, trying to obtain color codes from Honda, ACURA, and even Enkei. I came up with nothing. He just matched as best he could, and he did the most amazing job I have ever seen. I will find out more information.

Thanks for all the kind words! My wheel gap looks a lot more exaggerated because I took those pictures low off the ground looking up. I have the A-SPEC suspension...and I love it!
Being that winter is right around the corner, do you think it would be a good idea to plastidip my wheels? I don't want the winter elements to destroy my beautiful new refinish job. What do you think?







They look great! Congrats!
