2008 NBP Type S, OEM Type S Wheels or A-Spec black chrome?
I've had these black chrome wheels sitting in my garage for like 3 months now.

In that time the stock rims have grown on me..

I guess this begs the question

18" A-Spec OEM Black Chrome Wheels
Double Spoke


17" Type S OEM Stock Wheels?

I'd sell the a-specs and the stockies and go aftermarket with a nice set of wheels.

Def A-Spec. Even if the Type-S were 18", I would go with A-Spec.

This is funny because now I've had the same 2nd thoughts about the A-Specs I bought a month ago. For some reason the type-s rims are growing on me, so my Ebony black rims are still in the box. Usually it's a no brainer and go with the 18's but I can't decide. Looks like the A-Specs are more popular here.

Just put the A-spec ebony black rims on my NBP. It is a killer look. The color of the rims ties in nice to the Type-S tails.

For visual taste, of course A-Spec would be nicer....

But personally I like the color of Type-S stock RIM... If they had a Black Matte color, I'll take it any day...

Also you have to consider that 18" Tires are more expensive than 17"...

I love the Type-S design, not usual... the A-Spec is more common...

And besides, I love the color of Type-S Rims...

I love Mugen Black Rims too...

18" A-Spec OEM Black Chrome Wheels
Double Spoke


17" Type S OEM Stock Wheels?


***MOD EDIT***
Anyone know the Acura part number for these Black Chrome A Spec wheels?
