Set of ASA JH3 17 Inch Wheels 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern
Category: Wheels & Tires
Price: $200
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Location (State/Prov/Terr): IL
Item Condition: Used
For sale is a set of ASA JH3 17 inch wheels with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 7.5" width. All 4 wheels come with the centercaps. I am not 100% sure of the offset, but I believe it is 45 based on the markings on the rear of the wheel. The wheels are made in Korea. Overall, they are in good condition. There are some nicks and scratches, but nothing major. One wheel has a larger scrape, which I have pictured, but this is only cosmetic. None of the wheels are bent, all balanced up perfectly.
Also, I'm not going to try and pass these off as BBS wheels like some people do, but BBS did help ASA get set up back in the day and ASA makes pretty high quality wheels.
I purchased the wheels hoping to install them on the car, and had tires installed and got them balanced. However, when the shop went to install them on my car, they were the wrong fitment. The seller told me that they were previously installed on a newer Acura TL.
Honestly, I'm not sure why they didn't fit my car (2G CL Type S). He said something about there not being enough clearance in the back and that I would need spacers to make them fit. I'm not entirely sure, it might just be that the guy at Firestone was incompetent.
Local pickup in chicago suburbs, I don't think it would be worth it to ship these.
Thanks!

I'll let the wheel experts have the final say, but if they are 5X114.3 and 45 offset they should fit just about all Acura cars through 2008 and most, like TSX, after 2008.
If they were installed on a newer TL they would be 5X120, so you should check that out.
It's good you're doing local pickup because a test fit would be the only way to tell for sure.

If it makes anyone feel more comfortable, here is my HeatWare feedback account from some transactions I have made on other forums. I have done quite a few transactions on the eBay account linked there as well. Thanks!

I tried measuring the bolt pattern based on this site, and based on the measurement I got it was 114 (granted, this was decently eyeballed with a tape measure). Also, the previous seller was very adamant that these were 5x114.3 (I asked him about a hundred times to be sure). So I'm going to say that they are indeed 5x114.3
It might just be that the firestone guys were idiots and I bought another set of wheels for nothing (made further plausible by the fact that they stripped 2 of my lug nuts
).
