I was just wondering if anyone could help me track down something similar to these concept HF-S rims. Or, even better, if anyone could find me those rims. :thmsup:
I would love to get them!

Honda designed fairly similarly designed 19" wheels for the Euro Accord/Acura TSX and offer it as an accessory for the 2009 Acura TL...

These are OEM wheels ofcourse, and as you can see, you pay a steep price for them...1800 big ones...I think it's worth it...my wife doesn't ;)

I have a personal bias for OEM...may be more expensive but you get quality...

since that was a concept car they probably only made the one set, but an email to honda usa would answer the question.

They were originally manufactured by ENKEL for Honda Access America, Inc. and I really thought of calling them!

I even had a thread about them about 8 month ago http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=15562 you will even find better quality pictures!
I have a friend who works @ the HONDA/ACURA Factory in Ohio as a design engineer. I think I will let him do that for me, as he will definitely have more accessibility than me. THEY ARE REALLY WORTH IT and OEM :thmsup::thmsup:
By the way the 2009 Acura wheels are manufactured by ENKEL as well and they are not made for the Euro Accord/Acura TSX. They are nice but I don't think they will really look good with our Accords! Can someone please photoshop them anyway on an '08/'09 PPM Accord Sedan?
Speaking of the Euro Accord/Acura TSX, there is a really nice 17" and 18" option (see attachments). They are OEM and close enough to the HF-S wheels; I wish they were bigger though :headbash:
I am still looking for something similar to the HF-S wheels and have it custom colored (PPM) with brushed or matte aluminum on top. If not then I'll have to go with one of the Euro options as I have a lot of friends who live there ;) :D
