The most recent version (also 8 inches wide) is part #08W18-SEP-202E (see post #29 in this thread).

Also, I am aware of a part #0818-SEP-202G which look a lot like this finish, but I have yet to figure out what Acura actually calls the finish on this part numbered wheel.

I have a feeling there is no way anything will happen from this. The wheels are now just a regular gray color, no metal look or metal sheen to them, and I imagine that's how it's going to stay. I really liked the way the looked before too, sucks big time. Acura should label their damn wheels better so the people in their service centers can have a clue about what they are doing.

I will try to measure them tonight or tomorrow and see what I come up with. Thanks for your help thus far. Does anybody know how much it would cost to get these wheels chrome dipped? Anything under 500 or are we talking about a lot of jack?

At this point you might want to talk to a body shop about paint matching the wheels to your car or you could DIY like this guy

Who did you speak with at Discount Tire, and what did they charge you?

There are no Discount Tires in this part of the country, and I have not had much luck when calling Discount Tire Direct for help. Can you provide the product #?

Thanks

Sorry man, I only know the price because I looked it up in my microsoft money. Finding the receipt would be as challenging as finding a needle in a haystack.
