Does anyone know if anyone around Kansas have the 18" aspec wheels for sell? Or am I better off getting them from Acura? I like how those wheels look.(not the chrome but the darker chrome ones)

One more thing, anyone every buffed out scratches, done paint touch up, and clay bar. My TL has quite a bit of scuffs and scratches and the front looks like it could use a good clay barring.

Guys, I have put my OEM Bra up for sale in the Black Market. Since I now have an Aspec Kit, I can no longer use the bra. Here is the link:

That would be great. I just don't have a place to do it. See if you guys can help with that. I'm willing to drive out and bring some beer.

You can check the Black Market, or Ebay, or Craigslist really. Anywhere will probably be cheaper if you don't buy them from Acura, unless you want brand new ones.

Btw, nice move bribing us with beer. I think we need to hit my car with clay sometime soon too. I'll get the pizza if Andy gets the beer haha

Meant to post this yesterday. Andy if you want wheels save up and go custom wheels. Aspecs are cool but everyone has them. I'd find something you like that is relatively cheap. There are a ton of choices out there, pick something you like and start saving. Take a look at Enkei wheels, lots of choices there that are pretty reasonable. You could get some RPF1's and make most of us jealous.

I have always liked the RPF1 but i don't know what offset i would want. I will probably search for some other wheels. I just dont know what wheels I would like on the TL. I am thinking about going with 18" wheels and drop.

Matt....whats up with you and RPF01's....Andy is the 5th person (in KC) you told to buy them wheels....

RPF01;s are wayyy too common....i would rather have aspecs....

Andy, go to tirerack and see what rims you like and you can see them on the car as well....and IMO the drop comes before rims

Can you say "air-conditioned garage" ???? LOL


Hey, if you want to look for wheels, stop over at KC Trends in Shawnee (Johnson Drive and Neiman Road). Ask for Jimmy or Pete-tell them I sent you. They will help you out!

If you don't mind. I'm willing to drive out to your place. Remember I'll supply the beer. I would just have everyone come out to my place but I'm moving into an apartment.

Steven's garage is legit. I would also suggest checking out the wheels that KC Trends has to offer when you meet up for Fast Fridays.
