I'm looking at getting these rims, however I don't know if this is the chrome or black chrome...



Also, is it possible to tell what year or size these would be? I'm assuming they don't make the 18 x 8.5's anymore...meaning these would be 18 x 8's?

Thanks for any help you can provide...

Chrome and black chrome are the same thing... They're also known as "chrome look".

If it's on a 2007 TL-S, then it is 18 x 8. Here is the part #, at least for the 06 version of the wheel with TPMS. That is what I have on my car.

08W18-SEP-200F

you are the man!

thanks so much...

I just ordered and recieved my aspec rims and i was told that they have 4 color choices gunmetal, chrome, black chrome, and sparkle silver. I thought chroms was too flashy so i went with the black chrome and i am very happy with them they look like what other rim companies call hyper silver. Anyways the ones in the picture is chrome.

very helpful info...thanks a lot!

That is somewhat correct and I was incorrect in my post. The black chrome and chrome are not the same. The black chrome and platinum are the same. The gunmetal is no longer made that I am aware of, unless they started making them again for '07. The three color choices for 2006 were sparkle silver, platinum/black chrome, chrome/chrome look.

The parts guy at my dealership said that he was pulling these 4 colors off of the stock shelf at the warehouse to find the color i want, not sure if he gave me false info about the gunmetals but here is a pic of my black chromes

That was from the auto show in Miami. I was there and they were 18x8 and they were chrome. They weren't any darker although they do look a little darker in that picture.

I actually read recently on these forums somewhere that you could buy the older A-Specs through discount tire. They are an authorized Enkei dealer. However, after talking to Discount Tire and talking to Enkei through Discount Tire, I found the A-Specs are sold exclusively by Honda and Acura dealers. That is why you can only find them on e-bay (being sold by dealerships) or directly from dealerships. I hate trying to buy wheels from a stealership but I guess I have no choice if I want a new set...
