Talking 18" A Spec wheels

I just bought the TL-S and dont really like the stock wheels.

I'm looking to buy the 18" A Spec wheels with TPMS and was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get them?

I tried searching on here and it gave me a headache looking thru post after post.

I see that Ebay has a few of them for sale from Acura of Escondido, CA They are like 1200 for the 4

Anyone know of a less expensive place to buy the A Specs?

Any info would help.

nope...ebay is only good place for now if you want now since we can not have GB on A-spec wheel from Tim. The reason for this is due to RONJONWHEELS. Also you can try your luck in BLACKMARKERT.

Maybe try aftermarket wheel where you can get some decent wheels for the a-spec price.

Good luck.

Sorry for the thread hi-jack.....tried searching and couldn't find a definitive answer. Will the 18" A-Spec wheels fit a 2008 TL-S? Different dealers have told me different stories....some say they won't clear the Brembos..others say that they will. Does it depend whether they are the 8.5" or 8" wide A Specs?

Thanks in advance!

The 04 A-Spec wheels are 18x8.5 and the 05-on are 18x8. Either way they will fit.

Best deal I found was on Ebay. The "newer" A-Spec wheels 18" x 8" were $1450 for a set of 4 (plus $95 shipping) from an Acura dealer in Temecula, Ca. DCH Acura of Temecula.
Tim at HondaAcuraworld was more.........he said he gives quotes all the time for A-Spec wheels, but nobody ever buys them due to $$$$. I think he said he has only sold 1 or 2 sets in the last 2 years..........amazing.
Good Luck. I think the "older" A-Spec wheels 18" x 8.5" can be had for $1200 or so off Ebay, but look a little different vs 07-08 A-Spec wheels (might not have TPMS).

Yeah, I asked for a quote from Tim at hondacuraworld about the A-Spec rims, but the prices were just too high from that place.

but that price is only good if you purchase a set (4 of them). see if there are others who need the same wheel to fulfill the 4 wheel requirement.
