That are purchasable I mean. I'm guessing not, but doesn't hurt to ask. At first I was hopeful thinking they were aftermarket, until of course I saw the Acura logo.

Those wheels got a lot of criticism when the concept ILX was unveiled with them in January 2012 in Detroit. Pretty sure that's a one-off set and they may not have been road worthy. Notice that the concept ILX also had cross-drilled brake rotors front & rear. To be honest I'm not even sure if that car even rolled (at least under its own power).
I've corresponded with the accessory folks at Acura HQ a bit and it seems like we may see higher-diameter "upgrade" wheels available for the ILX in the future, but for right now the stock 5-spokers and the optional 10-spokers in 17" are all we're going to get. I'm considering at some point snagging a set of 18" TL gunmetal or chrome split 5-spoke A-Specs for my next wheel set.

Aw damn. Thanks for the info. Maybe I'm in the minority but I like the way those wheels look on the ILX. I guess I need to look around for something similar.
