My Contribution, hope you like. 20" Smoked/Black Chrome finish with 275/40-20 Hankooks. They're a little wide, and the rears rub sometimes when I go through hard dips, but the fronts are fine!

^^Wow, bad ass! Is that wheel 9.5" wide? You might notice some problems with extra debris hitting the side of the car, but otherwise those really give the RDX that aggressive look it was missing. Did the comp on the size and it looks like the speedo will be around 3% faster. Nice work.
See folks, you don't need a spacer to get the flush look, just bigger wheels/tires.
EDiT: You've already tinted the front windows, now de-badge it and finish the look.

and actually... this will probably start an argument, but they're actually off of a Dodge Magnum. The bolt pattern is 5x115 instead of 114.3, but they're just fine... So, if you want this look cheap, do what I did, buy them off of Craigslist from someone with a Magnum. $350 and the tires were almost brand new, couldn't have had more than 5,000 miles on them.

and I was thinking about taking all the silver/chrome accents off and having the smoked chrome done to them too to match the wheels... gotta see if it can be done though.

Acura uses a ball type lug nut with the factory Enkie's so it may not be compatible with the dodge wheel (IDK Chrysler is the only manufacture of the big three that I have not owned).
If they snugged up to the hub and you don't have an issue with balance then .7 of an inch would probably not be enough to cause a stress crack on a stock wheel from a another car.

It looks good Truckerbomb!!
Too bad Eibach springs are hard to find now.
That is some good information about the bolt pattern for your rims.

[QUOTE=Tonyq;13017174]Any picture of your front fog light Grill what did you do with it?
Good eye my friend, good eye!
Well, we all hate the silver and I have talked about it in other threads. They were sanded and painted yesterday, cleared today. They will be wet sanded, polished and re-installed later this week. Pics will follow.
Thanks for the compliment on the wheels. They came out really nice.

^I think he painted them.EDiT: Oh, I missed the post on that. Good question, they look like a piece of fresh ABS from angle. How about it gungho_15?
Good choice on the wheels. I think these sharp bright wheels work good with the sheild on the grille (Paint color too). They would not look right with my '07 grille. How are those Hankook V12's? They are so popular, seems like they are on every car I see.

Here is a quick pic I took so you guys could see. Not to steal this thread or anything. They have yet to be wet sanded and polished yet. Waiting a day or two for the clear to cure. They do look go already though. Better than the gaudy silver.

Much better. I always thought the trim around those fog lights looked cheap.

They are TSW Nurburgring Bronze Wheels super light weight for 20's. They weight less then stock. I think 20x10.5 & 20x10 weight 24.45lbs vs stock I think is 27lbs. When I hold both the TSW Nurburgring Bronze Wheel is definitely lighter. Oh and the gas mileage of the RDX with me driving is very bad. I filled up sunday and I was near empty on monday. I don't drive it as a daily driver, only when I'm trying to stunt. haha..
