Here is a link to other 2G aftermarket rims: https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-2g-m...wheels-866956/

My 11 MDX Adv+Ent is post #31 in the above link. A list of my wheel/rim mods:
- 20 inch; RonJon Legacy Type II Custom Graphite face with machine lip
- Continental DWS 06 P255/45ZR-20
- HeelToe stage II brake upgrade kit (Racing brake slotted rotors, steel braided brake lines and Carbotech 1521 pads)
- Red Painted Calipers (Painted after pics in above thread)
- Acura Valve Stem Caps

No performance upgrades except OSRAM D2S Xenarc HID bulbs and Interstate MT7-34R AGM battery. Everything else is cosmetic like all weather mats, clear bra, hitch, cargo tray, etc...

Nice set up! What size and dimensions wheels do you have? Are those coilovers, how many inches did you drop it?

Nice job! Those black rims look wicked with your sleek silver MDX.

I picked out the Ron Jon rims before deciding on the color of the MDX when I purchased used back in 2014. Because of the MDX styling, it can be a little hard to shop for for rims sometimes.

Enkei SS05 rims that are 20x8.5, 40mm offset with BFGoodrich G-Force Comp-2 AS 275/40ZR/20. Yes they are coil overs with 32 way adjustable shocks and my drop is 3 7/8" in the front and 4" in the rear although I'm still messing around with the height. I rolled the rear fenders because the tires scraped the sidewall right below the threads.

Every single light inside and out that are replaceable, I replaced with the brightest leds that I could find and have 2 exterior mounted led reverse lights that are hidden near the camera. Have a KTuner V2, Borla mufflers, no cats, RV6 Jpipe, 4" home made intake, almost ever single sensor under the hood replaced, almost all fluids are meticulously flushed and or replaced 2 to 4 times more frequently than the dealer recommends using all synthetic fluids, adjusted valves, replaced plugs and did so many other things that I would have to check my book to remember. Everything I did myself at home or at the auto shop that I used to work at except for the BG full trans flush which I took to a friends shop who is an authorized BG tech. My 2011 MDX Tech has 76k miles and I'm waiting for parts to do my timing belt since I got all the time in the world till this Corona virus lock down is over.

At night I scour the internet for performance parts, my day hobbies are installing the stuff that I find. I drive my MDX so hard that everyone who rides in my car is pretty silent and hangs on for dear life.

LOL..you should put out a YouTube video of how hard you drive your MDX, and all the mods you've done. Nice job on the mods.

Woah buddy that's some big wheels you got on that truck. I'm sure you have no problems plowing through that snow.

Nice!! The front and rear skid plate thing adds a nice touch and makes it look rugged, the exhaust looks really solid too. Those tires are probably the biggest I've ever seen on a MDX and looks like so much fun to drive in the snow. Hawaii peeps such as myself have never even touched snow in my entire life, closest I ever got was hailed on in Vegas in 30 degree weather. I imagine it's almost like driving in sand which I have done hundreds of times except snow is probably more slippery.

Ps. I use mine for work and pleasure too and most times its loaded with a few hundred pounds of tools.

I am still up in the air on deciding on whether or not it was a good choice and yes, it is from SF Racing. The springs are noisy all the way around. No matter how I adjust the ride height and I do have the rubber insulation pads on the rears and pillow balls on the fronts, the springs still clunk on every bump. Funny, my M-3 had Eibach coilovers and I do not recall them clunking on every bump. If you do not like a noisy suspension, I would not recommend the SF Racing kit.

Doobie, I forgot to add, do not get the Pillow ball/camber plates(I see they changed the wording for the useless pillow ball) for the front coilovers. They are totally worthless unless you want to use a hole saw to mangle your shock towers. I refused to do what they recommended and instead moved some of the hex head bolts to another location so that they would fit inside that small hole in the shock tower. Just buy a camber eccentric kit for the fronts and camber kit for the rears from Ebay and take the rubber mounts that are included without paying for the extra pillow ball/camber plate option because you will not be able to adjust camber or caster without enlarging the shock mount hole. Shame on them for even offering that option for the MDX.
