Sometimes i look at it, i think it's nice. Other times i think the wheels are too fat for the car.

First glance they look nice with the drop. But I think the spokes are too big.

There you have it, different stroke for different folks! As first I Didn't like it either, thinking that the spokes are too big and the color of the wheel didn't match the Black paint but that can be fix. The more I look at it the more I began to like it. If anyone interest I do have the stock type-S wheels with almost new FUZION HRi for a reasonable offer.

Doesn't look too bad. I think they would grow on me if I were to drive them everyday.

It might be cheaper to buy 1 at a time. Just make sure that it under $160ish a pcs and shipping is included and if ur lucky it might even come wit a TPMS. U could turnaround n reselled those,they go for bout 45 bucks a pcs. If u do decide to get these wheels. U will have to cut ur tab n rolled ur fender(rear only) cuz they're 18x7.5 45offset. I have a H&R dropped n it still rubbed. Must be da tires (Goodyear EAGLE F1 ALL SEASON 225-45-18). My previous set up was a 19x7.5 wit 42 offset wit NITTO 555 225-35-19 barely rubbed and didn't even havta rolled da fender or cut da tab. And yes it does look good in gun metal/black. jus check out da RDX Forums some guy there has it painted black. BTW make sure to get the center cap wit it.
