Need Wheels for 08 Type-S WDP

Ok guys I can't decide between what A-Spec wheels to get for my 08 Type-S White Diamond Pearl TL. I really like the ones in the picture below. They say they are Black Chrome, but I have never seen them listed anywhere. In fact the guy that is selling them on Ebay says they are NOT the regular Chrome looking wheels. So Should I go with these Black Chrome look wheels, the regular Chrome look wheels, or the simple Silver Sparkle on my Type-S.

Here is a picture of the so called Black Chrome wheels and a link to them on Ebay for you guys to look at as well.

Black chrome will help hide the break dust from the BBK.

black chrome would look better-IMHO. It will be something different instead os normal chrome.

The more I look at those Black Chrome Wheels on Ebay the more I like them.

Do you think the 1629 is a little much to pay for them? Any place else I could to get these wheels a little cheaper? Hondaworld maybe? I emailed the seller to get the part number, but he hasn't responded yet.

i searched acurazine for about one week regarding aspec wheels and i found out that black chrome = chrome. so you don't even have to think about making a choice between the two.

If you look at the link above, Ebay link, those are not the regular chrome wheels. Even the guy selling them says they are not. I emailed the seller today to get a part number so I can find out for sure what wheels they are exactly. Still no word from him.

usually dealers don't know anything.. people made lots of name for different wheel finishes such as gunmetal, ebony, chrome, black chorme, silver star, etc... search the forum regarding aspec wheel finishes. you'll understand why i said black chrome = chrome. anyways i thought about buying them too and its very good looking wheel but you'll find cheaper ones through ebay store.

Even with the 2004-2006 WDP with the new aspec rims look nice, i'm curious how much are those?

Aspecs are expensive.... about $1600 is a good price brand new...you might be able to find them cheaper, but it wont be easy

i was looking at the same rims also, and im still trying to decide if i should get the chrome a-specs or the gun metal a-specs on my wdp tl. i wish the new a-spec rims still came in the 8.5 width. after looking at the picture poste above they still look small.
