My 08 Acura RDX w/ Dubs

Just got my MRR HR2's installed w/ PARADA SPEC-X 255/45/20's.

Not sure if the pics are going to work, but I'll try.

Big thanks to DNPhotography and SinCity, for all the help, along the way.

Let me know if they even work, never used Flickr before.

Thanks.

to post pictures you need to right click over the photo and select "copy image location", after that click on the "insert image" icon and paste that address...that way the image will be inserted in your post.

I have seen that style before on a white one....Yours probably looks better....

nah...i still think tsw estorils take the cake, easily...i think the HRs show way too much rotor for our truck, and just dont look that much better from other stock styles (they are classy but quiet) or for that matter, a quick glance someone still might take for stockers...but i havent seen them in person, just judging from pics

they're very nice. now i'm seriously considering getting myself a set of 20's.

i could be delusional but somehow your car looks higher off the ground than stock? which is perfectly fine since the RDX doesn't have too much of a ground clearance.

DNP, I think someone finally beat u out for the best looking setup of wheels. They just look better on the PMM color, not that I'm predjudice! (j/k DNP)...........
anyway, very nice looking!

...so +35 offset, 20x? I'm looking at some 255/40/20's, curious of the offset/width combo that will fit on a lowered RDX.

I'm looking at these..

Nice! Those are the rims I was eyeing for my RDX as well...but I blew my money on a plasma instead. They look great though!

I dig those wheels. I think they would look good on my Carbon Bronze, too. I would probably do 19's though given DFW's infatuation with concrete slab roads. Next time I need tires...

Check this page, but it's best to call, as they give you a little more of a discount.

I'm going to let my brand new set still in boxes go. PM me for details. I'll try to work a better price than Element Wheels.

Looks awesome Chronic! Presumably you did 8.5 all around? (looks like Element by default offers staggered setups 8.5/9.5)
