I like it, the MDX just has that stance...where you know a nice set of big wheels/tires would enhance the looks significantly- as evidence above, I wouldn't want an MDX without those wheels.

Those wheels don't work with the MDX at all. The MDX needs edgy wheels to match its body. The Lowenhart's, while beautiful, are too curvy for the MDX.

Those look pretty small for 20s. I think the BMWs 19s look bigger

The point and purpose of an "SUV" is long gone. These new cars are merely for looks. Which isn't bad cuz they can look nice.

IMO

Cons
Too low, especially in the back. The stance is reminicent of the Subaru Forester or some kind of micro SUV. It's a shame, as I'm sure they spend a long time trying to perfect it.

Wheels are too obvious, a pet peeve of mine. Too after market and soft.

The front bumper plastic molding makes the nose too pointy.

Ditch the roof rack and rear wind deflector.


Pros
Good color ant tint.


Verdict
Appearence wise, it's almost as nice as a stock MDX. For the price of the aftermarket parts, you could get an X5.

eh... would be better if the wheels were chrome, or a nicer style.

would also be nice if it didn't have that nasty ass integrated bumper guard installed... and if the tint matched all around.

the smoked tails are hot tho!


I like this MDX:

Looks nice, could use chrome though. I bet it's fairly stunning in person the way it is. When I see 1 of those drive by it always reminds me of my car (the front).
