A-Spec Rim Question.

I have 2 and shopping for 2 more OEM Aspecs. What is the official color for the 18 x 8.5 SEP-885A Rim? Looks like Smokey Gunmetal. Thanks for helping.

If you can also provide a link to it that would help also, thanks.

The 8.5 rim is gunmetal. Good luck finding them at any dealership.

I have no intentions of paying dealer fees of $600 per wheel. lol. I will track them down elsewhere. I've seen them refurbished OEM for $225 and not from ebay

2004-2008 Acura TL 18" 71790 - All Factory Wheels


Image #2 is the 18.8.5 Gunmetal


I think these are refurbished OEM which at that price is decent. Shipping is only $25.


I'm going to call and ask If the have Gunmetal in stock or just Charcoal which looks very light.

If you're looking for a paint code or touch up paint for the Gunmetal A-Specs, buy Dupli-Color "NG GM 435" Light Gray Metallic
