which wheels???

i am going with 18". i know i should go bigger, but i just want some new wheels for fun, not trying to do too much. plus, my wife will kill me since i just ordered some HRE for the porsche.

so what do you guys think?

i am not going to get anything chrome or bling. i found most of them poorly made anyway.

so i have now narrow it down to TSW. i think they are fairly good quality without the bling.

my favorites are:

1 estoril,
2 sakata 4,
3 vortex

what do you guys think?

I think they're a downgrade in quality over the OEM wheels.

i agree. if you want close to OEM quality wheels try looking at MRR Designs. i have MRR Designs HR2s 20s and i love them. any small i would have regret it.

+1

DNP's wheels look great on his RDX though, and those are one of the few aftermarket wheels which I think improve the appearance of the RDX.

i am not sure if i would consider OEM to be top notch quality. i think any descent wheel makers will be at least equivalent.

I think the Montage looks the best, depending on color of your car, would depend on which wheel I'd go with!

Of the wheels you named, my pick would be Vortex. Of those on that page, I like Rocket 4 best.

The site sponsor, ron jon, makes some nice-looking wheels, you should also check those out.

My 2 cents, get what you like not what others like. The thing I disliked on the RDX from the get go was the OEM wheels myself. Too plain, spokes too wide, but hey that is just my opinion. I use the OEM rims for my snow tires only now. Tastes vary a lot so make it your decision, I like to be different myself.

I have seen some nice wheels added on this site but not necessarily my choice anymore than what I got would be your choice.

Me too. As you can see from avatar pic, I went with the non-chrome Acura 19" rims for my summer tires. I like 'em.
