If you're looking for Gunmetal Aspec rims, you're not going to find them new anywhere. They only made them in 2004. So people who are selling them are getting a good price for them.

By rumour there might to a new Aspec rim coming out soon. But only rumour so far.

I know where there is a set at a dealer they ordered for an 04 and still sitting there with the tires on them. I think they told me 1500 plus tax. I think they are gunmetal

Copyryte, those are not the gunmetal rims. The 2004 model year has the gunmetal rims and they had no lip.

Thanks for the clarification....mine are possibly the dark chrome ones then, however they sure do look like gunmetal but just a lot shinier.

They do have a lip. See the part of the rim at the lip that sticks out. The 2004 did not have this.

Go to discount tire and you can order the 2004 A-spec wheels for $250 a piece. I found this out when one of mine was bent and needed a new one, the dealership wants $379. Honda/Acura buy the wheels for the a-spec TL from Enkei (sp?) thats how discount can get them so much cheaper. BYW I believe they are called charcoal if you have discount order them.

One more thing, those 2004 a-spec wheels are 18x8.5 so make sure you get 245/40 18s, if you get the dealer recommended 235/40 18s it doesnt fit the wheel right and makes it much easier to get curb rash because the metal sticks out farther than the rubber on the tires.

CRAIGSLIST BABY! I'll post up some updated pictures of my car...haven't done that since i blacked out the headlights. I'd also do some searches with some cities nearby. It just might save you 70% on the A spec rims.

I don't think that you can order them on discount tires website, I am almost positive you would have to go into a location and have them special order the wheels. If you don't have a discount tire by you I would imagine that any belle tire or any large chain can order those wheels.
