those are alot better, but for future reference, alwasy wipe the lense before shooting, and use a full coverage amount of tire dressing on dry tires, it'll make a world of difference. My wife saw the pics and almost lost it, she thought it was the MDX, lol.

I see you've shot your product before and learned from experience. I agree dressing is essential to really show the impact of your (or anyone's) wheels.

Soulpt - is this your RDX? If so, congratulations!

They are the same as stock, I believe the resaon he went with that size was to swap tyhe tires over. Still look better than the plain Stock wheels.

I'm a total newbie and may sound like an idiot for asking but can someone please explain if you have to get new tires for the RDX if you decide to go with the 19in rims? I'm learning a lot from these forums. Thanks!

I really don't see where adding 1" does much for tires & vehicles in general. It seesm silly to me as I don't have any shortcomings I'm trying to compensate for.

Yes you need new tires. So the question is what you do with the stock 18" tires and wheels. Some keep them for winter driving and others sell them to defray the cost of the 19" wheels. If you get the Acura 19" wheels from the dealer, make sure they give you the 18" wheels/tires back or credit.

Sorry to disagree,maybe its taboo to disagree with a forum sponsor, but I personally do not like the look of these, especially compared to the stock wheels which compliment the overal shape and lines of the car itself. The factory 19" wheels look great as well IMO...as long as the owner likes them!

Thank you so much for answering my question. I'll be sure to ask for the tires or credit and I appreciate your help.

I like stock 18" also although they are little too dark (blackish grey).
But it's all about the beholder...
