Hey guys,
I'm currently in the market for a 1st Gen, early model 91-92 car. I'm looking for a "time machine" quality vehicle that's unmodified and low miles. I've found a few cars on the market that fit this bill, but unfortunately I let the best slip away by being a little slow.
I've found another potential option that has everything I want with the exception of the wheels: it has the (IMHO) ugly chromed wheels option from the factory that just really dates the car and not in a good way.
A couple of questions:
1) I'm assuming I could have the chrome removed by a reputable shop and painted in the factory satin / silver finish?
2) I notice that for the chrome wheel option, Acura fitted a different center cap for those wheels. Can you get replacement center caps in the satin / cc style?
3) Failing the above, are there OEM wheels available from reputable sources?
Basically I want this:
Not this:
Thanks in advance for your help. This looks like a great forum.
