hey guys, I HATE to add on yet ANOTHER A-Spec wheel questionaire...but i got a few concerns bout the colours and sizes:

- What is the Original OEM A-Spec wheel colour and size: is it Gunmetal, 18 x 8.5 or 18 x 8? can someone PLLEEASE post a CLEAR pic of the 18 x 8.5 gunmetal wheels?

- Now, the A-Spec 18 x 8 wheels (i.e. the sparkle, chrome look, 'hyper black'). 1stly, WHY is the width 0.5 less, and is the SAME gunmetal colour available on these? is it the same colour as 'hyper black?

thanks,
Mark

the original is 18 x 8.5

the Aspec rims for the 2004 model was 18x8.5's and only came in Gunmetal's initially. toward the later 2004 model year chrome was introduced w/ the rest of the colors coming in the 2005 model year. The gunmetal was discontinued in 2005. The new aspec are 18x8 because the 18x8.5s were too wide for the factory tires. For me and others who have the 2004 gunmetals, a 235 tire is too narrow for the rim, so the lip of the rim stands exposed and vulnerable to curb rash. We need at least a 245 tire to fit the rim well. Acura's answer to that problem was a less wide rim. And No, the gunmetal is no longer available. the current version is not as dark as the 2004 gunmetals.
