acura rdx base FWD 2020

So just bought my second ever car. My first ever brand new car BY MYSELF! (21 years old). I really wanted a aspec but due to me being so young i guess honda wouldn’t approve me. Anyway, i got the base model who cares i’m young! I really need help on getting aspec rims that’ll match my black RDX. My goal is to completely black out my RDX.

*Does anyone have pictures of a 2019-2020 RDX blacked out completely?*

it doesnt matter your age.....all that matters is that you can afford the car...
if honda didnt approve you,that means YOU CANT afford the car..

the only way to get the wheels is TO BUY the WHEELS....
if Honda didnt approve you, that means YOU CANT AFFORD the car/wheels.

perhaps you can cheap out by plastidipping the wheels, or perhaps by painting the stock wheels

I saw some A-spec wheels for sale, but the price is in mid to high 200. At that price I would rather buy aftermarket wheels, or look into HFP/Acura accessory wheels.

OEM ASpec wheels are almost $500 apiece.

You'll also need to buy new tires. The A-spec wheels are 20s, your car has 19s. Add another $800-$1000 to the cost of the wheels.

You could get your existing wheels powder coated in any color you want for $100-$150 each.

You can go onto tirerack website and see what various rims will look like on ur RDX, prob a much more economical route than the OEM ASPEC rims.

Don’t let justinspace rattle you - not everyone here is a dick.

I agree - getting A-Spec rims/tires is going to cost you a lot. Better to get aftermarket wheels that you like and keep your tires. If you really want new rims, another option would be to find an Advance owner - I’m sure you could find one who would pay you to swap rims 😄

Check other thread here for giving your car the A-Spec treatment; several have done it, some by OEM parts chrome delete and others with vinyl. Vinyl seems easier and cheaper.

my rims look so small on my car. I think it might be the basic silver color. I think i might powder coat them like you said, i didn’t even realize i would have to buy larger tires for the 20inch rims. thank you

haha thank you. I would never plastidip rims on a 40k suv , ever. I just checked out tire rack and the prices are actually very reasonable considering they come with the rim+tire. Thank you!

I suggest not to spend the money to blackout the car unless you can really afford it by not financing. Saving money/ put your money in investments are better options.
