I think this is the link you meant to post?

Are you sure these are not 8.5 width? I thought the A-Spec wheels without the lip around the circumference of the rim were 8.5.

Thanx for fixing my pix!

I am indeed a new member and a new owner of an 07 TL since 2009.
I bought these wheels by mistake from someone who claimed they were from his TL. I bought them in good faith only to find they did not fit my TL. After researching this forum I figured out they fit an RL or 4G TL only. The seller has dissappeared and does not return calls or emails even though he "guaranteed satisfaction". He knew they wouldn't fit . . . .
So I need to sell these wheels quickly so I can get the right ones for my car. My loss can be someone elses gain for these beautiful A-Spec wheels. One has a little scrape on the edge of the rim and another has some small marks from falling over but nothing on the other two rims. Overall great condition. I hope the pictures help.

Width is 8 not 8.5
Ebony chrome not chrome finish

Here's some additional information, which is posted to avoid any confusion and to eliminate the need for people asking questions about these wheels.

These wheels only fit the following models, because of the 5X120 bolt pattern and larger 14X1.5 studs and mounting holes: 2005+ Acura RL, Odyssey, Honda Ridgeline, and 4G TL, 2007+ Acura MDX, 2009+ Honda Pilot.

Standard 2G RL and 4G TL wheels are 5X120, 17x8 with a +55 offset and 64.1 hub. Thread size 14X1.50

Wheels for 3G TL are 5x114.3, 17x8 with a +45 offset, thread size 12X1.50

The wheels being sold are not 17" but the other dimensions should be similar, unless stated otherwise.

these are NOT the ebony finish. they are "chrome-look." it's obvious. FYI prospective buyers.

Whatever the finish is, it looks great. They look like chrome, but i guess they were only made in ebony chrome, but whatever.

I have this black-chrome wheel on my bike and it was a chrome with a transparent color sprayed on top, the brakes wore through it and it was chrome for a while.
This is my idea of black chrome, but "ebony chrome" might be between chrome and black chrome...wish I knew

sorry but these are the "chrome look" finish. What is the part # listed on the inside of the rim?


Below is directly from the Acura RL accessory parts guide:


08W18-SJA-200A WHEEL, ALLOY (18 in. CHROME-LOOK) 2007 RL

08W18-SJA-203A WHEEL, ALLOY (18 in. CHROME-LOOK) 2007 RL

Inside wheel is stamped SJA 880A, 55, 18 x 8J
I have chrome wheels on another vehicle and these are definately a black chrome look. I wish the pictures were better. Does anyone know what the SJA 880A means?
