Where to buy A-spec wheels?
 
Hi, i've searched forums for anything related to 18 in a-spec wheels for sale brand new, but haven't found anything.

Does anyone know anywhre i found buy genuine A-spec 18 inch wheels for Tl Type-s? Live in Canada but US locations could work if they ship...

Thanks!

Find a used set and have them refinished and powdercoated? Mine are good as new basically.

Not to be mean, but seriously dude...your asking where to buy an OEM part and you never thought of the dealership?

In his defense, I would rather find an OEM part nearly anywhere else besides the dealer due to the $$$ they charge, especially for something like rims.

hhh0505 02-21-2013 09:43 AM

Exactly KJ TL-S....I've already thought of stealership ,but i rather not pay 1700$ for 5-6 year old rims... Maybe to be more specific to my question, anywhere i can purchase A-spec rims CHEAPER then dealership? I've looked for used all over in my area , but no one is selling any...

They are cheap for a reason. Either they have been reconditioned or they are replicas. Replicas are not OEM aka not made by Enkei.

They're reconditioned if blemished, yes. they're all OEM, not replicas.

I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm just going by what the website says :shrug:

I'm sure they have OEM wheels but there's no guarantee until you buy them and look.

...if not through the black market.. your best bet would be to hold on and check your local craigslist postings everyday till a set pop up...If you're looking to snag a deal with tires for around 900-1200cdn for the set.

this is how I had to do it out in Vancouver, BC and got lucky twice finding a 'decent' set with tires for about $1000cdn.


patience....young padawun...patience....

A-spec wheels
 
I found some that were new a couple years ago via ebay & they cost about 1/2 of the new price!

Joshuahtoujours 06-29-2014 04:56 PM

Quick question?
 
Go easy on me, I'm new at this:

I have an 08 TL A-Spec. I also have an 08 MDX base. I changed my TL wheels to Type-S wheels. Will my A-Spec TL wheels fit my MDX?

The guy at my tire store that changed the other wheels wasn't sure.

Thanks.

No -

TL rims will not fit the MDX.

Check out the black market every once in a while.

NBP04TL4ME 07-02-2014 06:14 PM

As suggested watch the BM and/or your local CL

sopmodm14 07-22-2014 02:43 AM

i'd also try to source one from your local junkyard if possible

long shot, but at least its a shot

Get Wheel Locks
 
Have my 2018 Acura A-spec parked on the street where i live in Bayside, New York, which is NOT a bad neighborhood. Yesterday I was leaving for work and came out to see this...

I highly recommend wheel locks. this is where i went wrong! lesson learned

Sorry that happened to you brother. If a thief wants to steal your car or wheels, even with wheel locks, they will make it happen if they have the right tools.

NBP04TL4ME 06-16-2019 06:18 PM

His first post...............

Yvuru 06-17-2019 10:37 AM

Fellow Baysider here. Sorry that has happened to you. My next door neighbor has had his Accord wheels stolen from right in front of his house. I would highly suggest a full (20 lug nut locks) for the car. I have bought mine off Amazon.

As others have mentioned if the thieves want your wheels they will have them. Wheel locks are more of a deterrent, as the job to steal the wheels is not as "quick and easy" in comparison to standard lug nuts.

That was posted 6 years ago and he hasn't logged in for 1 1/2 years, and it didn't really say they were for sale so you probably won't get a reply.
