Just pulled in (myself, due to COVID) to the shop to get the ... ummm *questionable* wheels the car came with replaced with something more fitting of a top trim vehicle with sporty intentions...
Haha. I’ve had the car a week and this is what I’ve been REALLY waiting for. It’s not much fun on snow tires 🤷🏼♂️
They fit fine. I folded down the smaller back seat (to avoid removing the Kids car seat on the driver side) and two fit in the hatch, two on that seat. I just put down a heavy towel that I keep in the car for exactly those purposes.
here is a pic of the wheel... full pic has to wait for me to get a car wash.

Just turned 16K this week and still having a blast!!

THESE ARE MY FAVORITE WHEELS!
As much as I wanted to, I just couldn't justify the upgrade price. The Advance wheels that came on mine work...As a few others have said, I don't dislike them as much anymore, they are just wheels, after all.
Beautiful car, TheLevelOne! Keep having a blast! I do, every time I get behind the wheel.
Yes! Best wheel shop in the GTA! How did you know?
Been to Billy’s shop a few times already and he got me a great set of wheels before when I had a G37S.
Did you also get TPMS sensors from them? I need to get winter tires on my second set of wheels but I’m wondering where to get the sensors. Do I need to get the OEM ones from the dealer?

They asked me for my VIN and got me the indicated OEM sensors. I think it was about $300 for the set installed.
Yesterday was the first real test of my new RDX - our summer family road trip to a cottage. Due to COVID, our plan was to pack EVERYTHING including all meals for 5 nights.
Into the RDX, I was able to shove:
2 adults and 2 children
2 full size suitcases
1 large, 1 medium and 1 small cooler, as we as a small office recycling bin repurposed (and cleaned) to carry food that needed protection from crushing
3 backpacks, a laptop bag and a purse
a tall paper bag with wine and other tall bottles and stuff and a normal cloth shopping bag with yet more food
A plastic wrapped package of firewood (in the left-rear, deep, underfloor compartment)
2 life jackets and 4 large water guns (in the main under floor compartment)
A full size acoustic guitar
a pillow
I’m SO impressed. Every extra little nook and cranny was put to good use.
Brought this 2020 A-Spec home 2 days ago. Dealership picked up the last 6 lease payments on my 2018 TLX A-Spec V6 and I transitioned into this new 3-year lease. Haven't had an SUV in many years, but the RDX seems to drive more like a car. Only have 50 miles on it, but I already prefer this engine/transmission combination to the TLX. I was contemplating waiting for the new TLX, but I figured by the end of my lease, pricing would still be near MSRP with no discounts or lease deals.
that's a good catch, but no, I didn't debadge it. I hadn't even noticed. I just went out to look and the A-Spec badge on the rear and passenger side are there. No idea how the badge on the driver side fender is missing. I will indeed contact the dealership.

Might want to check for paint work and overspray... believe it or not but even new cars can have body work done in port due to transit damage...

I contacted the dealer yesterday and the salesperson's first response was "I think the RDX has an A-Spec badge on only one side...I'll check on one in the showroom and get back to you" Meanwhile I checked photos of A-Specs on their own dealer website, and saw that there are obviously badges on both sides. Didn't hear back from her yesterday afternoon. I will contact them again today, because I'm not so concerned about the badge itself, more so the reason it is missing. Upon close inspection I see no scratches, uneven paint, overspray, etc, but I'm still curious and want to see what reason they come up with.

The most obvious explanation, then is the assembly line worker had a hey fever sneezing attack, and your future RDX went by him/her before they could affix the emblem/badge.
I'm sure your dealer will provide and attach one when you next visit.
Konig Oversteer 20x9.5 et40 offset in their Opal finish which is like a hyper black.
Skyline, can you please share a pic of the side profile... this wheel size and offset is very similar to what I am considering and want to see how flush they sit to the wheel well.

Have a look at my wheel thread for more info and pics.
