Was planning to have the new rims for winter. But eventually figure out it may look better in summer. What you guys think? The one above is with OEM rims and the one below is with new rims. Sadly the Acura's centre cap doesn't fit.
Did you re-use the OEM lugs from the ASpec rims? I've usually gone aftermarket rims for most of my Acuras. Honda/Acura uses ball lugs and aftermarket uses cone/conical/tapered lugs and you can't mix them. I made sure to keep a set of OEM ball lugs in the hatch if I needed to put on the spare tire.

Just my opinion. OEM's look better. Black wheels have become so "me too" and boring.

Ya, I do prefer the black rims for the "black out" style. But I figured out the black rims gonna be more boring for winter, as there gonna be more black rims on the road for winter (most of them probably those boring black steel wheels).

Thanks. I have another set of lugs for the new rims, I do noticed they have different types. Good advice to keep the OEM lugs in the car for spare tire. I guess won't bother the spare tires for the first several years as we have the road assist covered.. (hope I don't need it)

You could just replace your donut spare with one of the Aspec rims. You can just purchase a what-ever tire and you don't need TPMS. The donut is limited to 50 mph at 70 mile max. It seemed to take up to 7-10 days for me to get a tire replacement not in stock at Discount Tires BEFORE the pandemic and supply chain issues.
