07 Type-S Wheels

I have just picked up a 07 TL-S (kinetic blue). I like the style of the wheel but I feel the color does nothing for a blue car and I was wondering if anyone knows of a wheel house that does this wheel in chrome on an exchange program.

Thanks,
Barry.

I searched these folks inventory http://www.capitalwheels.com/store/customer/home.php

but they dont have the 07 Type S wheels. You can always ask for them to start an exchange program.

There's a guy on ebay in California who does core exchange TLS chrome wheels. If I remember correctly, he's charging $550 +core charge + shipping. Just do a search on Acura TL wheels.

The wheel (in its stock form and color) only really seems to look "right" on the carbon bronze TL-S, which is the main reason I got that color.

I agree (and almost bought CBP for the same reason), but IMO add ASM to the list of colors that look ok with the TLS rims. I hated them on my MRP (They made the car look dull to me), so I got these...

I love the color of the type-s rims. I just don't like the style. Too hard to keep clean plus I don't like mesh looking wheels. maybe the aspec rims in the hyperblack. I think the wheels in chrome would look hiddeous. Why don't you either trade them for the chrome aspec rims or just buy some new aftermarket ones instead of paying extra for someone else to chrome the ones you got. It's real easy to sell the ones you have now. Just my two cents.

Thank you for all of your replies. Does any one know a good place to buy the
A-Spec wheel. Sorry for all of the dumb questions...I am new at this Acura thing.

Thanks.
Barry.

A-Spec wheel, check the black market for some used ones... or ebay... if you go ebay, make sure its from an Acura dealer. Acura Lynwood & acura esondido do goo buys. Also, check with tim @ hondacuraworld.com

if you want my opinion, these wheels are nasty but i saw a WDP TL-S with chromed stock wheels. looked sick

The guy on ebay is a 100% seller. He mails you the Chromes from like $1000~, then, when you mail back your OEM wheels, he gives you your "depost" refund back , like $500...

would love to see the chrome TL-S wheels, but aftermarket is always a good choice, and Ron Jon is the best for the Acura/honda line up
