OK, about $350 per wheel x 4 plus installation (and TPMS) = $1600
Decent 20" tires, $200 each = $800

So the whole package is about $2400, right? That's some pricey bling.

My 20" MRR HR-2's w/ tires were just under $2k shipped. I love them. Thanks to DNPhotography for the pic that inspired it.

And the HR-2s don't look anything like the TSW's, in my opinion.

Nope. Not when you get in on a GB. I paid a LOT less than $350 per wheel shipped. I paid even less than the GB price due to a last minute deal.
Ditto on DNPhotography...it was also my inspiration.

ScottRDX, that looks fantastic. I also have an ASM RDX and am thinking about the legends in Graphite. If I have any more questions do you mind if I PM you? Thanks man!

Sure, no problem, I'd be happy to talk to you about any questions you have about the RJ's. Also, thanks for the complement.

Is there any possibility of getting in on this group buy still? I know I'm late to this thread but I just bought my RDX less than 2 weeks ago and was looking at going with the 19" Acura rim upgrade but just couldn't justify spending $3,300 (dealer price to me) for them.

These MMR's are a HAWT looking set of rims and thank to DNPhotography I know they would look super seksy on my white RDX.

Anybody put 20" x 8.5" wheel with 20mm offset?


I want to know if an offset of 20mm will fit on my RDX, the OEM wheel are 7.5" with an offset of 45mm with the expected wheel 20" by 8.5" i calculate 45mm - 20mm the wheel will outboard by 25 mm almost an inch and i have to add an half inch more because of the wheel wide, at the end the wheel should go outboard by 1.5". Somebody have ideas?

Thanks

Talking lightweight wheels

Well, ok. Finally I swapped my wheels!

The primary order was Kosei K1 SS 18" w/Yokohama 802 Advan S/T but due to the delays I had to accept just what the dealer has in stock. So here it goes... MKW MK-36 Forged 18" + GoodYear Eagle RS-A. Not the best of the best but looks decent and features pretty light weight (approx 20 lbs) that make the RDX ride not so harsh.

BTW, there is a very useful site for tuners that features hundreds of the different rims models - http://www.wheelweights.net

Nice wheels. Could use some more spokes, though.

Yep, It's true. These look like O.Z. ANNIVERSARY model, but they aren't cloned or copied. Just another and feature lighter weight. MKW is a.k.a. Mi-Tech. Chinese or Korean brand. Who cares in fact

I hope you didn't take offense to my post about your rims. I was just saying they're not my cup of tea. That doesn't mean anything more than that. I'm sure there will be just as many people that disagree with me as there are people that agree.

As long as you like them and are enjoying them on your RDX that's all that matters.

Cheers,

Alex

Like OP stated, cleaning must be a b*itch! But the light weight is a plus.

There'll be no pics and I'm just to say that Yokohama 802 Advan S.T. tyres have successfully arrived and GoodYears are retired

In fact it feels like I purchased new car. It's softer, it's tighter, feels absolutely different and I like it.

As of March/April 2008, Element Motorsports was still honoring the GB price (only over the phone, not via email).

Talk to Robert 480-966-9044, make sure to get the hubrings: 66.5mm to 64.15mm.

I put a set of 19's on our '06 MDX and received the RDX GB price...

This has to be the lowest prices on MRR Design wheels.

Wow these rims look nice on an RDX!! Are these the chrome finish or silver ones?

Also has anyone weighed one of these in a 19x8.5 to see what they weigh? Also what are we looking at weight wise on the stockers? I'm just concerned about performance loss due to heavy generic brand rims. But if these don't weigh that much more...I'm definitely going to look at getting a set!

Thanks bro, I'll dig through that website and your link later today when I get some free time.

Just off the top of your head do you know if anyone has the weight listed for the MRR wheels? So far the RDX doesn't get the greatest MPG, so I don't want to make it any worse and also sacrifice cornering, braking etc etc.

Those MRR Wheels are awesome looking. I bet they would look spectacular on the car in chrome also!
