Looking for opinions please!

I love my RDX, but I honestly think the stock rims that come with the Advance package are hideous. Now that my lease is about to end and I plan on purchasing the vehicle, I am definitely switching out the rims. These are the two I have it narrowed down to, but I am having a problem deciding between the two, so I am looking for opinions on them! I would be going up to a 20" rim as well. Option A is Touren, and Option B is Milanni if that matters at all. Thank you, I appreciate all your input!!

Option B is very much like the 13-15 stock rims.

I like both of them and I am having such a hard time choosing between the two of them! And since I have to get bigger tires to go with the bigger rims, it's kind of a big investment and I cannot choose between them! I have to decide by May though because I put down a refundable deposit on the Touren rims... I only did this because there was a rim and tire store that has a booth at the Chicago Auto Show that had the Touren rims there for a really good price that was good though May as long as I put down $50. I sort of like the Milannis better but the Tourens are such a good deal that it's hard to pass up.

I don't like either choice that much. However, if I had to choose just between those two I would give a slight edge to the Milannis. In general I prefer a five spoke arrangement and the Milannis come the closest to that even though each spoke is actually a double spoke. The Milannis are basically the same rim that came on my previous 2011 Honda CRV EX-L.

Yes they are similar to your Honda! I like that the Milannis look sleeker, but I like that the Tourens don't look so stock.

Yep, I agree with your assessment on both options. I also don't like the wheels on my Advance as I think that they are way too busy. I really like the nice, clean look of a five spoke rim. I like what Acura604 did to his stock Advance rims. His pics are in the Photograph Gallery forum post #62 or so.

@wsw Yes!! I saw these pictures back when I first got my RDX and found this forum! I was thinking that it looks way better than how they look from the factory! I don't understand why in the world they would put such ugly rims on such a nice vehicle, especially on the top level package! Like WHYYYY?! I love basically everything about my RDX except those hideous rims. Oh, and the fact that they use halogens in the fog lights - it looks horrible with the LED headlights. I think I'm going to switch the fog lights out to LEDs as well, and then I won't have anything to complain about anymore haha. I was waiting to make sure I was going to keep my RDX once my lease is up in May, but now that I've decided to keep it, I can start to personalize it a bit more now. Excited about that!!

You want to go to a 20" rim and you live in Chicago? I sure hope the roads are a lot better than when I was there last. You do realize the RDX is an SUV.

BTW, either rim is fine. Rim "A" covers up the wheel nuts.
