This is my first post so go easy on me.
When I purchased the car last fall, it came with new tires but the previous owner had painted the stock wheels a matte silver color and it was looking rough, flaking badly. Since I'm not a fan of the stock EX-L wheels to begin with, I began the hunt for upgrades. I wanted to stay OEM (Acura/Honda), stock size (new tires) and because I'm a sucker for clean black wheels they had to be black (gloss preferred). I also didn't want to fork over $1000 for a new set. I ended up finding a set of 8th Gen Si wheels from an eBay wheel refinisher with great reviews that had been refinished and painted black. I saved a ton of money and they are identical to the 10th Gen accessory wheels ( 08W17-TEA-100 ). My old center caps fit perfectly of course.
