Purchased a set of the 18x8.5 A-Specs from Rob at Lynwood Acura last week and took a longer lunch break from the office to put them on today. Really like the simplicity of the wheel design. Aside from some of the factory NSX wheels, I think this A-Spec wheel is one of the best looking wheels from Acura.

I was going to go with the 255/40/18s but didn't want to wait for the order to come in my local tire place so went with the 245s instead for the time being.

Anyway, just a couple pics:









Thanks for looking

 

hot!

 

beautiful car!! wanna trade wheels

 

really nice dude, got my aspecs from them too, but sold them and i miss them!

 

Great wheels. Got the same ones from Lynnwood but I am loving them on the NBP.

 

Thanks for the comments, guys.

I don't know how Lynwood Acura does it, but they seem to have an unlimited stash of the 18x8.5 A-Specs somewhere, haha.

 

The drop is perfect!

 

yes, indeed.
what are you dropped on?

aspecs are fucking classy.

 

Nice. I have the same setup! NBP FTW

Ditto on the kind of drop. It's on point!

 

nice!!

ur tints helps the car flow well too

 

Makes me miss my Gunmetal A SPECS. Very clean.

 

The A-Specs look real nice on your car. Your Mods are just right and not over done.

 

Sex

 

Those wheels make the type-s kit look a lot less bulky..not sure why. Looks fantastic!

 

Thanks for all the comments!

For those who asked, I'm dropped on the Eibach Pro-Kit along with the Koni SP3s.

With this particular car, I kind of have to keep the mods simple since I haul my kids around in it, haha.

 

Very Nice!! Love those specific A-Specs! What was the price on the wheels, if you don't mind me asking? And on the drop, what perch level, also for the daily driving with the kids, what do you have the dampening at?

 

beautiful!!

 

looks good

 

Very nice. Love the A-Spec wheels...which is probably why I put some on my car last year.

 

Lookin good!

 

They were only $1250 shipped and I think Rob still has some sets available. I thought it was a fair price to pay for the harder to find 8.5 widths because I plan on running 255s or even 265s if my fenders don't protest!

For the perch level, it's down one setting up front and the rear is untouched. Not too sure where the dampening is set at. Mr. HeelToe installed and set everything up for me. Nice guy and great service!

 

perfect look

 

Really nice ride, can't go wrong with a specs.

 

looks good bro , I thought i had a great deal when i found my aspecs new 2 years ago. how the heck do they still have new 04 aspecs?

 

i think the wheels look really good.....there is just too many people out there with them

 

Uhhh, maybe in this little corner of the Internet, but I think I've seen a total of 3 (including mine) in the Phoenix area.

 

nice...so many things I need to do...

 

I never even see any tis with an aspic kit. Very rarely do I see one with aspic wheels....which is why i want them so bad.

Car looks great!

 

18 x 8.5 A-Specs ftw!

+1, Ive been wanting a set of these for awhile now.

 

approved.

 

well where some people live you could see none to some rolling with them...but in jersey there a more than just a few that have them..and im all about doing most mods different than others...like i said i think they are dope wheels.... i just like to be different thats all

 

Hot..wish these wheels came as the stock wheels without being aspec package

 

Looks great! congrats and enjoy............

 

I definitely don't post enough on here as I just remembered there's an easy to use multi-quote function

I noticed this too. The A-Spec kit with the stock Type-S wheels does make the car look a bit bulky but I don't see it as much with the A-Spec wheels.

Yeah, I wonder where they get their stash of 18x8.5 A-Specs too, haha. While doing searches on the forum on the 18x8.5 A-Specs, it seems they have been selling them for years after the wheels were discontinued. They seem to have a neverending supply.

It doesn't bother me if a lot of people have them. There's not a lot of OEM/factory upgrade options for wheels on the 3G TL, so I would have gone with these regardless.

Thanks for the comments, fellas!

I'm pretty sure Rob at Lynnwood Acura has more available if you're going to get a set.

Definitely what I felt too when I first saw them on the car installed. I really like the Type-S waffles but I think the A-Specs look better and would have looked right at home straight from Acura as factory issued wheels for the Type-S rather then a separate upgrade.

Thanks! Wish my paint was as perfectly polished and maintained as yours; NBP is really hard to maintain.

 

Car looks really good. Although imo the tl-s aspec front lip still looks bulky regardless of type-s waffle rims or a-specs.

 

Great looking car and exactly my taste in mods. Very nice.

 

Very nice! Clean and simple.

I spy an S2K in a photo, watcha got done to it?

 

And this is why, although I am rockin the work wheels,i will never get rid of the specs...great job!
