Is this an Acura OEM wheel?

Looked for a pic of it in the "wheels on cars" thread but no luck. It has a hyper silver finish and wondering how it would look on my white diamond '06. If anyone has seen 'em or has a pic on a car it would be great!

The OEM wheels don't have those FAKE screws/rivits,
and the spokes blend in with

the rim/lip. DON'T BUY THEM.

agreed with JD TL-S .. i myself would not buy those wheels ... because the fake rivets look lame and why pay more money for a knock off of the rims your car came with stock

if it were a true 2 piece wheel with the same spoke design in 18 or 19 we'd all say pull the trigger... but being that it is a replica 2 piece wannabe, full thumbs down

I'm just lookin to replace two curbed wheels on the car I just bought. This car is my "daily driver" so it's pretty much just gonna get "gas and oil" (as opposed to the endless mods on my Nissan Z) I do like the finish on these and the rivets add a touch of "aggressive".
I asked Admin to remove this post (cause I couldn't after 5 min) because a more appropriate post would have been, "which finish would look better on a diamond white car, silver or this hyper silver?"

From the pics you posted, I think the hyper silver looks good...and you know how the silver will look (same as now). Also, you should ignore the naysayers and get what you want. These look pretty good, and if you get them, please post some pics.

Yea it's very easy to get caught up in the "only the best quality" stuff will go on my car thing. (spoken from a guy who has custom polished SSR competitions on his sports car $350ish ea plus $100ea for polishing and plenty of other mods) but for this car it will be pretty much "gas and oil" mentality. No mods, and I would be happy with the stock wheels except two are curbed.

Need a photoshop expert to "graft" the hyper silver one on a diamond white car.

Hmmm...only $450ish per wheel...I wish I could've found some ones I liked for that price. My issue was a design thing, but by getting the design I wanted, I got quality, too (I also got a rather light wallet for a while).

It's funny, I'm approaching the TL in a somewhat similar fashion as you...for me it's only simple mods (basically everything short of FI)...keep it as a much better than stock daily driver (at 8k miles a year, it should last a long time) and get a project car that I will build out ridiculously (the Z is on my list). Then again, in a few years, I may just say F it all, trade the TL, and get some crazy sports car...the joy of having time is you can keep all of your options open.
