The SSM with Sparkle Silver wheels on page 3 in that thread is my car before the A-SPEC suspension install.

Thanks allot I can't afford the entire a-spec package and was going to get one thing at a time and was trying to figure out what that thing would be. (wheels suspension body kit, ETC) Well I think the Sparkle silver rims look fine on the car without the suspension. I was concerned about the gap do you think it looks ok without the drop? What do think the cost would be for those rims?? and the suspension? I might just get the wheels and the suspension at purchase time Decisions, decisions, decisons, any thoughts.

The suspension is $600 on eBay...I got mine from Acura of Escondido...a few other dealers sell them there, as well (Falconi, Curry). Shipping was $58 from Cali to NC. Wheels are $980 for the silver sparkles, $1,280 for the hyperblack and chrome.

Yes, but they will probably charge and arm and a leg...mine wanted $524 to install the coilovers I paid $600 for...I just did it myself...instructions are very clear (AofE sends them and they're posted in the 3G Garage). If you have a good shop in town that you trust, they can pop them in, too, and for a lot less than the dealer.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention before, you might be able to find ASPEC wheels in the black market...I just saw a couple of people selling them with tires...didn't check details, might have some curb rash or scratches, might not, but will be less than new from eBay.

Here's one that might be of interest to you, Aspec Wheels and Suspension and those other dealers (Falconi's and AofE) as chill_dog mentioned have deals from time to time. You may wanna give em a call or send email and see what they can do for you. A number of the members have ordered from these online dealers and very satisfied with their service.
