Anyone with a PRP RDX running bronze wheels here? I'm looking for a set of summer wheels for my A-Spec and don't want black wheels but think most of the silvers are too bright. A lot of sports cars (Miatas in particular) look great with the red/bronze combo but I haven't seen it on many SUVs yet. Looking at the bronze wheels from Flow One: Flow One Wheels

I am running a rather inexpensive gold wheel on my blue Mazdaspeed.


These are from Drag, and I purchased them at Discount Tire. Around $120/wheel if memory serves

I think bronze goes pretty well with any color

I agree with ^ I love the look of bronze on WDP.

A quick PS job (back rim is out of proportion), but you get the jist of it.

That looks pretty terrific, thanks for mocking it up!

Were these the wheels you were looking at?

Still researching but those are one of them I'm considering. The Flow One wheels don't have many reviews and aren't a well known brand but the construction (flow formed) suggests it should be a relatively strong wheel (along with being WAY lighter than the stock wheels). This particular model only goes up to 19" though and I'd ideally like to stick with 20" wheels (especially if they're going to save me 8-10lbs anyways).

Good luck with the search!

So I've decided to go with the Fast FC04 wheels in bronze as my winter wheels. They're flow formed in Canada and the 19x8.5 version weighs less than 21lbs and combined with the Continental winter tires I'm getting it's going to be about 17lbs lighter than my stock A-Spec setup (the stock is about 67lbs altogether). I was able to see a set in person and they look great - a nice metallic flake in the paint and it's as light as advertised.

They look nice and I love the weight savings. Should make a noticable difference in performance and ride quality and handling. They might even look nice on a white RDX. Post some pics please when installed.

Got the wheels! Didn't weigh them but they should be about 15-17lbs lighter than the stock A-Spec wheels per corner and in just a few miles I can feel the different - it soaks up bumps a lot better and feels lighter on its feet.

Now if I could get lowering springs or coilovers so I could get 1.5-2" lower that'd be great.

Padre Dave

II hear you about the lowering springs! By now I’d have thought that someone would find something in their warehouse that is close and test it for market. I guess this is a low volume seller and not one that folks buy to mod it like we are talking about. Oh well, in time.....

supafamous

A fella on the FB group just posted saying he spoke to the Eibach rep who says lowering springs will be on sale in Dec. Fingers crossed.

WunderWagen

That was me...

I have talked to Eibach a few times and the recent call they verified there is a test vehicle trying out a set. If it goes well they should be for sale by mid-December.

Looking for feedback on this - am getting some tuner lug nuts but can't get matching bronze ones so am considering either the standard silver ones or red ones like these:
Not sure if the reds would be too much to look at against the bronze wheels. Thoughts?

Supafamous,
Are you keeping the original A-Spec wheels or will you be selling them? I am asking because I just purchased a 2020 RDX SH-AWD Adv and want to replace the 19" Advanced Wheels with the A-Spec 20s.

supafamous

Keeping them, these bronze ones are just my winters. If I can get 20" or 21" bronze wheels then I'd get rid of the A-Spec wheels but that won't happen for a long time.

I have bronze wheels on my sequoia..... with black lug nuts. Just a suggestion.

supafamous

Went with red lugnuts to match the rest of the car. Very happy with how they worked out.

That looks awesome!
