I think that it looks like someone put the incorrect size wheels on an MDX. They make Escalades for bling.

Haters gonna hate. If you want to see something that doesn't belong on a car go look at the 4G TL with 22's...

You can definitely feel the road more but not bad at all. Steering feels better but I also just took off my soft winter tires so its to be expected. Would have liked to go with a 40 series tire but some guys have rubbing issues with passengers in the back so I stuck with the 35's. As you can tell it is squatting from the weight of my stock wheels.

Looks awesome!

You should go for the full Storm Trooper look and paint all your chrome black.

Nice wheels. A little big for my taste, but they still look good. Definitely post some more pics if you black plastidip the chrome.

Looks really good! Those rotors are so tiny, but that's Acura's fault.
Anyways, black out all the chrome parts, it'll look much better..

The wheels/style/finish look dope man but a tad big for my taste. 20/21" would have been my choice. Can't go wrong with a classic 5 spoke!

Thanks! Ya a BBK and the chrome blacked out would do wonders but since its the wifes it might take a while to convince her.

Roads here are pretty decent. Keep reminding the wife to watch for pot holes.

That looks nice man. Do you have pics from any other angles?

Also, what is an elite? Never heard of it.

That's looks good OP. Sets off the aggressive look of the MDX and the best I've seen of 22's on this vehicle.

That's the Canadian version of the Advance in the states. But they get a few more standard features than the U.S. version. (headlight washers, roof rails, power folding mirrors . . . . to name a few).

Thanks! It also costs $10k more than the advance
