Acura of Escondido use to carry the 18x8.5 gunmetal A-specs, does anybody know any other dealers that carry this?

Thanks!

i'm really wishing i'd gone with the gunmetals...i'm repainting my aspecs to gunmetal -_- damn waste of money

ok they are all 8.5 even tho they state 18x8 because of the offset for the brembos....if u take a ruler to them and measure the width u'll be extremely surprised. even the stock type s rims are 17x8.5 but they still state 17x8 on the back of the spoke. a tire blew on me on the type rims before i got the rj legends and i went to a very good tire shop where the take time for the right procedure to be done and when it came down to balancing he put the machine on 8.5 and I said no its 8 inches..... he said no look and he pulled out a rim width ruler and looks like a "C"clamp with measurements in the middle and it showed 8.5 im like wtf?! guy sid yea when guys dont measure the rims and balnce them and they leave it at 8 inches you still have a small shimmy and cant figure out why its shaking. EVEN MY RJ LEGENDs state 18x8 and are 18x8.5 when measured.

ya they have an ebay store. they run $1180 + ~$150 shipping. i did a new search for them but only brings up their new relisted item and now its like ~$1400 but i have the old one saved on my watchlist and its still $1180 lol.

I soooo wanna get them but i also want the aspec kit... wanna do both at same time to turn it into teh sexyness.

^ well there ya go. i actually have been trying to make a deal with a service/parts lady from lynnwood acura and so far she said if i bought the wheels and new tires she'd gimme $100 off.. still too much $

navicaph

how much was the combo deal if you don't mind me asking?

Here's some of what she said...

"Well they list for $1180.00. The tires would be $165.00 each labor to mount and balance is $70.00 and the shipping would go up an extra $50.00 total due to the weight. Adding the tires and labor would put them at $1910.00 + shipping. I could take $100.00 off the wheels this would eliminate the EBAY fees and give you a break if you deal with me directly $1810.00 + shipping"

...shipping being $157 + $50 = ~$207
...so you're looking at ~$1810 + $207 = $2017

not much of a break if you ask me


But what if you use that 20% cash back promotion (although some people complaining they haven't gotten their cash back even after 60 days)...

$1910 + $207 = $2117 - 20% = $1693.60 ...... hmmmmm

^ wait nevermind... tires aren't included on ebay :duh:

so really it would be $1180 + $157 = $1337 - 20% = $1069.60 for just the wheels

i found a guy selling a-spec wheels for 1000, he says one of them is brand new and the tire is brand new

the-carbon-comet
