I am going to use these wheels from my TLX on my RDX when it comes in... then the stock advance wheel will be the winter wheel.

They have not yet specced out any wheels.

The Acura Black Glint accessory wheel is very nice but, black paint on a base RDX wheel for $2,000 USD/$2,500 CAD is serious price-gouging.
Lol did you just seriously call tire rack the premier wheel site?

Do you know anybody who sells more wheels and tires online?

For my 2019 Acura RDX Advance, I purchase my wheels from the tire rack.com
You can see what your vehicle would look like with your desired Wheels!
These are 19x8 Andros R10 wheels using the stock tires.
I had the Acura dealership install them, so there wouldn’t be any problem! No tire pressure monitor system problems etc.

Nice wheels, they match the chrome accents on the car nicely. Did you get new TPMS sensors or did you have the dealer move them over?

Anyone know the weight of the Advance wheels? Looking to replace them but mainly looking for weight savings with looks being second.

Careful what you wish for. This thing handles nicely, but it's still a 2 ton SUV. Flyweight wheels might not hold up very well, and the performance benefits are likely to be minor.

Great improvement! I couldn't live with the stock Platinum Elite wheels either but I didn't want to pay for the black glint. I'm getting mine painted a pearl black gloss right now. Can't wait!

I agree. I would love to make the Advance wheels look more like the A-spec wheels. Are the A-spec wheels matte finished or gloss? And are they black or dark grey?

A-Spec wheels are Shark (dark) Gray with glossy clear coat.

Thanks! Do you think Powder Coating is the most cost effective way to make the Advance wheels look similar to the A-Spec wheels?

Plasti-Dip is a lot cheaper than powder coating but, it is not durable and if not done perfectly, looks like crap.

I'm not expert or experienced. I just thought that the powder-coated example that was posted looked really nice.

I, like others, do not really care for the Adv "premium" rims.
I would have taken the Tech wheels and probably lived a long productive life. Dealer was not into swap idea.
Like others that have powder coated them glossy black, I am thinking GunMetal.


just a slight darkening of Adv Wheels

That looks good, though more of a graphite color

Not sure if this can be done, but I have a soft spot for 5 spoke designs.

Hope Acura is watching this thread. Looks like simply changing the color of the advance wheels would be an improvement.

i had done that very same partial black out to deemphasize those twirly mini spokes. Didn’t post it because it all Depends on where the black starts/stops and I had left the thin lip around the entire wheel where you triangled off the tips. Could spend days fiddling and never feel comfortable that I found the “it” look. In the end, I feel this would cost the same as brand new rims and as such, there are many 5 spoke rims in the $200+/-25 that I’d rather have than lipsticking these pigs!

But 5 spokes the best IMO.

@Jperdoch how much did you pay for those TL 19” Wheels? They look sharp. I have the same A-Spec exterior and interior. Is the ride quaility any better than the 20” stock wheel and tires?

More PhotoShop Dreaming of Better Rims

https://www.carid.com/curva-wheels/c...532289536.html
- similar to BMW X5 rims

20" x 8.5", +35 Offset, 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern, 73.1mm Hub

THOUGHTS?


Photoshopped 20" rims and added brakes to make it look real; but didn't spend much time inside the rim with shadowing, so I think they look thicker than in real life.

I like it! The colour works well with your car's colour - blends well and the design of the wheel is subtle and has the right luxury tones.

Did you ever end up mounting these on your RDX?

I'm going to do the same, just wondering what it might end up looking like.

Did you use your OEM lugs or purchase new lugs for the aftermarket rims? I went aftermarket for my rims for my 06 TSX, 08 RDX, and 11 MDX. All my aftermarket rims used cone shaped lugs; while, Acura rims used ball shaped lugs. As far as I can tell, ball and cone lugs are not interchangeable. I carry a set 5 ball shaped lugs in each of my cars since my donut spares (TSX & RDX) and full size spare (OEM MDX 19" Adv rim) all used ball lugs.

Good thing about cone shaped lugs is there are more choices for wheel locks instead of OEM Acura. I like the Gorilla brand locks with my aftermarket rims.

Those look really good. I'll be running the same wheels on my Aspec as winters.

Did you happen to reuse your TLX TPMS sensors on the RDX? Do you happen to know if they are compatible?

Thanks!

No the TLX TPMS sensors won’t work. I had to buy new sensors. The specs on the sensors are different as far as I know.

I was thinking about these on my '20 Advance. Do you have any other pics with different angles?
