Today i was looking through a superstreet mag and there was a section on rims but i didn't think much of it until i came across the 2004 RSX-S A-Spec Rims. I've been to Acura like thousand times in the past 2 months cuz of problems in the ITR and i always see the A-Spec sitting on the showroom floor. These rims were a little different from the normal A-Spec rim because they were 17s not 16s and they came with RED A center caps. Would anyone else know about this? Now i'm thinking about buying those for my ITR.

 

I personally think 17's are too big for a DC, but they do look rather nice.

 

probably weigh a ton and are waay overpriced. there are much better choices for the $$$... I do like the way they look, but JDM DC2 ITR wheels (16") would be much better choice IMO.

All rims are a waste of money. Thus, they are all overpriced.

why .....those are even heavier .....

 

so the 16" JDM DC2 wheels are heavier than the 17" DC-5 wheels?
how do you figure? aren't they both cast aluminum?

Well in all reality, they are probably not heavier ......but considering our USDM "CTR" oh i mean ITR wheels are already heavy as it is ....

Why get some JDM ones that are not only heavier ....but 16's intead of 15's ...

 

dunno, I guess we would all roll around on Volks and Spooms if we could afford it...
