Black A-spec Rims?

[L8Spec]

I was wondering what you guys think of powdercoating my a-spec rims black. Has anyone done it? Pics? Maybe i should ask someone the the photoshop board to make one.

[Randeezle]

I think they'd look hot.

[Veilsider]

I dunno about black. I've wanted gunmetal rims for a while and I think gunmetal A-Spec or Type-R rims would look gorgeous on a blue RSX. Or a black one, wtv.

[Randeezle]

I think if the powdercoat is done right they'll look hot.

I personally like the black on black look.

hell yeah gumetal a-spec or type R rims would look sooo hot on any color RSX!!

[batzmarru88]

yea gunmetal is way to go

[element_dc5]

Either gunmetal or black will look good...Ive seen one who powdercoated them black..Look'd pretty good on a pwp .. Its on the board somewhere...

[L8Spec]

Anybody know how much it would cost to get it done by a shop?

[element_dc5]

I got quoted 25 a rim up here in Cali.....and its a day process...not bad
Some shops charge more though.....

[asdff]

i was wondering what black aspec wheels would look like...

mmmm they'd be fucking HOTTT i think... anyone have a pic? haha

[BayDC5]

I agree, black aspec wheels=hotnesssssss

[beevan]

[Randeezle]

Same here b/c I don't know anybody that does.

[idrive]

could anyone photoshop it?

[KingRSX]

I'm gonna be different and say keep em the way they are. If you're gonna change em, go black not gunmetal. To me gunmetal rims just look dirty. my 2 cents

[L8Spec]

ok so i was thinking outside the spectrum of black, maybe dark bronze? remove the center acura symbol? whatcha guys think?

[L8Spec]

hey btw, my a-spec kit came with bridgestone potenza s030s should i be pissed it wasnt yoko es100s or the michelin ones? (i forgot which model i heard it also came with)

Yeah i'd be pissed...tell the dealership the A-Spec is advertised as having Yokohamas and thats what you want. Damn dealerships, always trying to get away with shit... :firemad:

hey, i actually think u got a better deal, the S03's are some bad ass tires, some of the best u can get. the treadware is almost the same as the ES100's, so either way you came out ahead! lucky you :thumbsup:

[DC503]

If they are indeed the Potenza S0-3's, they are a preferred performance tire. Longevity is a different story though.

[L8Spec]

My bad guys...and just when you told my they were better....they are infact re030s, lemme guess, theyre worse?

[Prodani12]

S03s are ridiculous... They cost like $1200+ CDN here.

Look up the tires they gave you and compare.

[L8Spec]

im just gonna post its own thread

I know dude, thats my car. I made a thread in Photoshop.

[simsim]

lol, it looks really, really nice....

You forgot to add dark tint and those aem black rotors.
:drool:

Crap that would be insane. I think I'd even flat black the emblems on the front and back.

[L8Spec]

Well considering I just had over 1000 dollars worth of damage done to the car via gravel truck on interstate....I will be debadging everything but the acura emblems, painting those black, CR hood, CF lip, paint calipers black, paint rims black (still deciding on just spokes, or whole wheel), and thats the pic when it was 4 hours old, I recently got limo in the back and highest legal (35%?) for the front.

[R0N]

I think it'll look hot

[rsxhottness]

damn black aspec rims looks hot

[jaraldyne]

Yeah on a black car black rims look sick - I woulda kept the center cap shiney but I'm not sure how you'd pull that off - on any other color vehicle, though, I'd recommend grey or silver painted/polished rims. I've always liked black in an all-or-nothing kinda way :)

[Ludalee]

Those wheels look so good! I think I might have to do that...I have a NBP RSX-S as well and I'm going with the all black look...I already have the Black housing angel eyes and tint...now I just need some black wheels, which I have been looking for, and those look amazing! Anyone know how much the A-Spec wheels weigh?

kinda heavy at 21 lbs.

[uncle_eddie]

kinda heavy at 21 lbs.

i think they weigh 16-17 lbs...according the manufacturer.

[alohatoad]

i think they weigh 16-17 lbs...according the manufacturer.

not knowing this, i bought them myself. they seemed kinda heavy so i weighed them. i ate the return shipping cost and returned them as they were too heavy for me. now i'm have on 13.8 lb. le28n's.

[Ludalee]

Well alohatoad, how much did tehy weigh when you weighed them?

[alohatoad]

Well alohatoad, how much did tehy weigh when you weighed them?

i've modded my car a little and didn't like the idea of negating it with a heavier wheel/tire combination.

[Conan O'Brien]

those look sooooo nice

[Ludalee]

I know you didn't want heavy wheels..so were they like 21 or 23 lbs? or like 17-19lbs?
