2022 Acura RDX A-Spec Advance 22x8.5 +40 Strada Perfettos 265-35-22
New setup with 22x8.5 Strada Perfettos on 265-35-22’s. Loving this much more than the previous setup….The ride feels so much “sportier” with the lower profile tires as well.
Oh wow this does look killer. I want to see what it looks like with eibachs. What does a setup like that run if you don’t mind me asking? I also want to move to a 21 or 22”.

Thank you! I’m pretty happy with it, but can’t wait to finally get the Eibachs on.
So this setup was not too much. Probably ~$1,700 total. (Wheels, tires, new TPMS, and hub rings)

Where did you get those black Acura emblem/centre caps? Thanks.
i joined this forum just to look at fitment and love a lot of the setups but i think this was the one i wanted to do most, I will be posting these for sale soon. But I had no issues rubbing, was going to do the Eibachs but getting rid of car in a week so....
Picked up an rdx in the fall and had eibachs and wheels installed a couple weeks a go. Wheels are Braelin BR10's matte graphite. 20x9 and offset of 38. Thanks to those that have already posted that helped me get a flush fitment
When dark wheels came out/got popular years ago I did not like them at all...now, I love them and would always be my #1 choice. And those...those are great looking wheels!
I love the design of these wheels, but they are virtually invisible. I just cannot get down with the dark wheels. Always reminds me of a car riding around on a spare while the flat is being repaired.
Decided to go for the off-road poser look. Changes the whole vibe. Went with some Konig hypergrams in 18in 8.5 +45 and Toyo open country 265/60/18. Even with the beefier tires, I still shaved 9 pounds off each corner. Super happy with the new set up
Yes! U have a nice blue car that stands out and they put dull grey rims on it, almost to stop it standing out too much.
I have a blue advance just like yours. Looks good dude!

I was going for BBS C-HR which were $750 each but, the Enkei are almost identical at $300.
These are only 23 pounds each and I swear the car feels lighter.
Disclaimer: I’m pretty good at believing my own BS.
I don’t hate the stock Advance wheels’ design, it’s the color. Either be gray or be silver but, in-between doesn’t work for me. I actually have a second set for my snow tires.
Now, I’ve got to find some Acura center caps. The stock 69mm ones are too big and the stick-ons won’t survive a car wash.
When I first started looking at wheels I had my mind set on 20s, but I just couldn't find any 20" bronze wheels that I felt were worth the money.
(I should point out that I'm VERY cheap)
What I did find that I really liked were the XXR 559s which unfortunately they didn't make in a bronze 20" (seems kinda dumb if you offer the other colors, but whatever).
After lots of back and forth, I decided to stick with 19's for multiple reasons:
They only offered the bronze 559s in 19".
They were an affordable wheel that I REALLY liked.
I could use two of my existing tires that were brand new when I got the car. They still have 8/32 tread on them.
Now that I finally settled on my "good weather" setup, I needed to put together my dedicated winter setup, stock (ugly) wheels, and 19" Blizzaks.
Just as I was about to click the "buy now" button on my tire order, I decided to check Marketplace one more time. And as luck would have it, someone not even two miles from me was selling four Blizzaks with ~1,500 miles on them. She used them for the same reason, winter use only.
So, $200 later I had a set of almost new Blizzaks in the back of my car and saved myself ~$1,100!
That weekend we had a surprise snowstorm come through town but not to worry, my Blizzaks were tucked away in my garage...because I didn't have time to get them mounted before the storm.
After the snow and ice melted, I immediately had my buddy mount up my winter tire setup and away I went.
Fast forward to spring and it's time to put the good weather setup together. Once again, I get to my buddy's shop and we start to mount the tires to the XXR wheels and realize that his tire machine isn't going to work because of how the spokes on the XXR wheels protrude past the lip of the rim.
CRAP! Now I gotta pay someone to mount these things. Someone I don't know and have never had work done with before.
So I loaded everything back up and started to seek out local tire shops that might be able to handle the job. Luckily, the second shop I found said they could do it, so I dropped them and crossed my fingers.
A few hours later, they are done without a scratch. I was pleased. I gave the tire guy a six-pack of beer and an extra $20, in case he didn't like the beer I bought him.
