For sale:
One nearly perfect bright chrome Acura A-Spec wheel & Kumho ECSTA SPT 235/40ZR18 95Y tire. The tire is new - still has mfg. printing & stripes on the tread, and is mounted and balanced. Tire pressure monitor type fill neck is on the wheel. The wheel appears to have never been on a vehicle - chrome is mirror finish inside and out, void of any signs of crud on the mounting surface, spokes, or holes for lugs. To be clear, this wheel is 8-1/2" wide, which stands slightly proud of the tire sidewall both inside and out. Thereby, it shows a few minor knicks from handling.

I've had this wheel and tire a week, part of a multi-component purchase so I can attest to what I see and can photographically document. I'll provide plenty of pics once I figure out how to post them.

Selling without center cap or lug nuts. Open to respectable offers. Shipping cost is the responsibility of the purchaser - Please don't ask me to contact UPS to compute the shipping cost, something that you can do on your own.

Wheel only $250 plus shipping, OBO

Wheel+tire $400 plus shipping (compare to TireRack: $127+$15 ship + mounting), OBO

I will ship UPS COD from zip 20814 unless a purchaser wishes to pre-pay or use a credit card.

Anyone interested in submitting an offer for only the wheel? I'm willing to keep the tire as a spare as I have 4 others just like it on the car.

i was under the impression that they only made the gunmetal 04 a specs in an 8.5 wide? am i wrong on this?

1789

I don't know the answer to that, and I do not know the model year, if there is one for the A-Spec. I can only restate that this wheel is chrome everywhere but the mounting contact surface, and has the TPMS installed as evidenced by its light gray fill neck.

The four 8" wide wheels that I purchased along with this one do not exhibit the same high sheen at the inside of the rim, but they have been on the road for quite awhile.

The pictures seem to come and go. It may have something to do with being hosted by AZ and there may either be some bugs in the program or rebuilding the data base for searching may have an effect. Anyway, the pics are there in post #2 and don't need to be repeated.

I have seen the 04's come in gunmetal and silver, but have yet to see one in the near chrome finish. on this rim does the edge at the bead have a small lip or does the rim continue the same flat surface right to the edge?

There is no outward lip on this wheel because it is an 18x8 1/2" wide. The lip to which you refer is on the 8" wide wheel (I have a full set of the 8" for my ride). Look closely at the photo with the penny to see the lip profile and the wheel size casting on the interior of the spokes.

I asked because I cant see the picture...and the chrome look 8.5" is a new one to me, good luck with the sale!
