I actually just ordered one. I will let you know how it comes out, finish wise and all. It was $135, shipping included after the 10% discount! I figure if it looks like crap I'll send it back and eat the one way shipping charges. I'll probably end up keeping it either way, figure a whole set can be had for only $540, leaves me plenty to have them professionally repainted if it is significantly off color.

Smart idea only ordering one to see how they look. Post pics once it arrives.

I would be more worried about how well the wheel is built rather than how well the color matches.

1, I bet they are legit and OEM.
2, I bet there aren't very many full sets.

On the pictures, they say something about being crashed car parts.

I just noticed they have 18x8.5 gunmetal A-specs. I highly doubt they went through the R&D to make a replica set of these.

Tempted to buy a spare for myself.

can't be real... can it?

FYI it says 'Rims DO NOT come with center caps' in the additional information

But still, could be the same wheel but a cheaper material used than the true Acura wheels. Very interesting.

I would e-mail them requesting pictures of the backside of the wheel. That way you can see if they were made by Enkei or not.

They dont have an email. Only a phone number.

My guess is that they are replicas not made by Enkei.

I doubt someone makes replicas of ALL our wheels...they have the 18 x 8 and 18 by 8.5 aspecs and 5 spoke. there's a lot that goes into making a replica wheel, I'm sure...enough to warrant making more than 600 bucks on a set...
i really think this place is a junkyard with a high stock of wheels off of cars.

The wheel came brand new in the box. They make replicas of our wheels.
Here another site that have them.

As long as the wheels are made of good quality I don't see the problem in getting them

ok so i found out today that at least the 18x8.5 aspec gunmetals are oem and refinished and he said they will appear brand new when they arrive. I decided to be the guinea pig on these before they sold out, got them for 512 shipped to my door with the 15% off .....worth a shot I think.

we have a guinea pig. Also means you'll have to buy new tires.

just an update for everyone considering this, I wouldnt do business with them. got an email about noon today saying that they could not fulfill my order, gave them a call and they said they were out of them, I asked if they could notify me if and when they become available and the foreign guy basically told me to fuck off.

Did you end up getting the Type S wheel you ordered?
