Tech PKG Wheels vs Advanced

Any Advanced owners upset we get the ugly looking wheels? I would not have gone aftermarket had I gotten those Enkies instead.

Now that is too subjective. I think they are better looking than the Tech wheels. The base wheels are the best to me, but they are 18".

I'm pretty sure that when one buys the Advance-trim MDX from an Acura dealership, he/she can negotiate to swap out the Advance wheels (19") with the Tech wheels (19") all included in the final bill.

Would rather get an aftermarket wheel for the prices some of these sellers are asking and get a wheel you REALLY like. Unless the TECH ones are what your REALLY like. I don't like cleaning them. I like bigger gaps so I can wash the inner wheel area.

I agree, I also like the base wheels best. If they were 19's they would look great..

If you want Tech wheels bad enough, you can get them on Ebay. You should be able to sell yours for same $$$. Just a hassle to ship. Check with local dealer parts Dept, sometimes they put on aftermarket wheels on new cars and sell the takeoffs. One dealer in the Seattle area occasionally sells takeoff wheels from their new stock and sell on Ebay.

I like the Advance wheels better than the Techs. Classy and feel just right.
