Found some 18x8.5 aspec wheels!

Just wanted to share my find with the community! Im also curious, just how hard are these wheels to find? I happened to just come across them on offer up. The guy wanted 400 but I managed to talk him down to 250 for the set! Only a little curb rash on all 4 wheels but nothing too bad.

Yeah, he said they came off his sister's TL shortly after she bought it. Then they have been sitting in his garage for years and he just wanted them gone.

Wow. Lucky you. I got mine on OfferUp also. Same price, but with bald tires and ALOT more rashes. I plan on restoring them so it should be fun and I get to learn in the process. I'm trying to figure out what tires to put on them, they are going to mainly be my Summer wheels.

They really aren't that hard to find, they're just hard to find in great condition, or for a decent deal. Looks like you got a great deal!!!

So if the reason they came off his sisters car is only cuz they changed her wheels and if no bends or repairs then thats a good price. Are those the hyper silver or regular I cant tell from pics?

These wheels were never made in "Hyper Silver", which by Acura's name is "Satin". They were only made 1 color; Gunmetal.
