I didn't want to step on your post XLR8R, but here is a nice wheel I'm looking at. I don't want to go w/ more than 18" wheels, but these look good to me. What do you think?.......

 

... I like the grey color, (Like the stock ones are!) and the chrome lip. Don't like lots of chrome, but these are just right. I just wish I could get this put on a pic I have of my RDX in the driveway so I could compare them to the stock ones....

 

IMO... i think they would look retarded in 18s... to much of a wheel gap and too much rubber... 20s at lease.. and would only look decent.. not sure if mesh is for the rdx..

 

Thanks chyllin, but I like the rims & I WON"T go to 20 " wheels. I want to stay at 18's" for personal reasons. I think these rims look classy & they have the grey tint that are like the stocks. I can use the stocks w/snow tires if needed.

 

I think there are visual tricks to rims. These have a lip and two colors. At 18's they will make the rims look smaller and tire wall larger. Rims that have the spokes come all the way to the edge, or close, make the rim look larger than it really is. I love that style rim but like you I would not go larger than 18. I think I would opt for a larger looking rim, like the rj legends.

 

Thanks voigt. I never saw quite that way, but I may rethink it. Part of the reason for these were they are a great price.

 

just for reference, this is a great example of those 2 different wheel styles and how they look...
mine - 20's lowered

my buddies old RDX - has already sold it (also 20's not lowered)
