Now if somebody wants some inexpensive tires for the 18" wheels, take a look at Tire Rack 245/40-18 Pirelli P7 A/S. They are only H rated but normally $225, now $95+ shpg. Discount has them for $247 each.
Not bad, wheels + tires @ $850, then add installation.

OEM new unrashed & unmolested A-Specs for $400, that's incredible. Explains the neediness ahaha

Someone buy them all and resell for a higher price like heeltoe

next thing you know, all sets sold to Marcus

Damn. I didn't need to know about this. And then didn't need for it to look legitimate.

Hmmm...

Could be quite the find. In for results.

eBay posting is seriously lacking. If truly an OEM unused / non-refurbished, it should include center cap and OEM door jam sticker.

Yeah, from the OP's picture of the OEM tag on the box, I'm taking the risk that they have the caps. (but "wheel not included", bwahahaha.)

You know the "wheel" - the round black thing made of rubber. Some crazy folks call them "tires.".

Do it! Not a bad deal at all!
I occasionally see A-Spec (8" wide, not even 8.5") wheels on kijiji and they're all mashed up selling for over 800, even 1200.

I already have my A-Specs waiting for spring

Anytime guys. Glad it all just worked out and I'm happy as hell with my new wheels right now lol. Now on the search for tires. My buddy at discount can get me falken G4 245/40 for $488 installed but I was looking at those Pirelli p7 also.

I didn't see Ebony Chrome listed there. I wonder what the names really are. It appears someone needs to make a true list with sizes, years, pictures, etc.

I read it, but I'm a bit confused. I suppose Acura is calling their Ebony Chrome/Black Chrome/Euro Chrome, satin? Interesting.

Also, Acura sold accessory wheels that were the same type of color, but not exact. I know this for certain because they were at the dealership when we bought our TL new, and were pitched to us (for something stupid like $1400). Is there a full wheel thread around here that has them all, with correct pictures to show the actual color differences?

OK, so the '04 8.5" wide E wheel is the same finish as the later E wheel. Got it.
