OEM TL-S wheels vs. A-Spec

I was wondering what sort of price difference is there between the OEM 17in type s gunmetal wheels and the silver 18in a spec wheels. Do they cost about the same or are the Aspecs more expensive. Im about to purchase another TLS and i really dont liek the aspec wheels over the OEM type s wheels. Trying to figure out how to get rid of them.

Noooooo! Keep the A-Specs! You don't see them as often as you see the Type-S waffles.

i think the lip kits make TL-s and base models look completely diff.

i could just sell the aspecs take my friends oem TL wheels to sit on for a few days and put up the cash for some volks. i really havnt decided yet

Dude, i'll tell you once. Keep 'em. You'll end up regretting that you sold them.
Unless you sell at MSRP which I doubt..

+1. My car came with them on there (A-Specs) and the more that I think about getting the regular TL-S wheels, the more I do not want to sell the A-Specs.

I do kinda think the black chrome looks better than the silver color. Depends on the color of the car though. And I think I'd prefer the graphite ones (or whatever they're called) over all the rest.

But all of this is personal preference, guys.

To me the Aspecs look like they belong on a MDX is RDX. We all have our own opinions and bias so I suggest you do a temporary trade to TLS rims and see if you like them. I'm sure someone out there wouldn't mind rolling your Aspecs while you make up your mind..
