I didnt get to specify a part number. They came in 8" wide. All 4 valve stems and center caps included. All in all a great buy. I bought the Azenis ST115's to go with them 245/40/18. They had mixed reviews online. I wanted to go with something that no one on here had. Just so I could test them out and give my opinion.

My second choice was the Yoko S-drives. Really wanted those but decided against them.

Hey Guys,
I know a lot of people want these but I'm going in a different direction. Anyways, these ARE THE ORIGINAL GUNMETAL A-Specs. They confirmed 8.5" width with me today.

Type in ebay item # 220211115947

Good luck.

5 sets of BNIB 18x8.5 aspec wheels!? They must have placed a large order when those came out the first year, but not many people bought them during that year.

I didnt even pay much mind to the size. I just wanted them, if I had scoured their page one last time I would have went that route. All in all it is still worth it +.5 or -.5. Just a little more contact patch

I don't understand what all the fuss it about a half-inch wider tire. OK sure, its a bigger contact patch, but geez, its only half an inch.

Apex - I had the ST115's for 2 1/2 summers. Just got new tires (Bridgestone RE050 PP). I thought the ST115's were good overall tires - impressive in the wet, but then again, I didn't really have anything to compare to. I was surprised I only got 2 1/2 summers on them though. I have separate winter tires. Good luck with them.

Sorry to hijack!

Looks like they cancelled the running auction for the 5 sets of A-
Specs, then reposted it and jacked up the price $100....raised the shipping too! Crap!

Yeah..I'm glad I decided to purchase them late last night...actually....really early this morning. I was going to ask if my dealer would match...but then I figured screw it...he might not have any in stock and I shouldn't miss out on a good deal. Looks good so far.

So you were the one!

Every time that I think I'm going to commit to these wheels....something happens! I'm torn between these and the Ron Jon Legend LG. Looks like illstrategy got them and they look nice....I gotta get off the fence soon!

The Satin/Ebony A-Spec wheels are expensive.

There are two models available: one w/TPMS (200E) and one without (200B).

If you're serious, you can try and organize a groupbuy from Tim at hondaacuraworld.

You might get lucky because he did have a Sparkle Silver sale for $976 about a month ago.

I just bought a set. AcuraLynn accepted my offer of $1080. $1237 shipped w/ insurance.

These are going to be my summer wheels and I'll use the factory wheels during winter.

Can't wait to put these on!
