1010's website shows these "do not fit your 2019 RDX" regardless of what trim you enter. But Replikas says they do...so gotta go with Replika...right? I like these, and the 192's but the 192's are only 16" or 17" wheel sizes. Wish they had one more color choice though....like something lighter. Black and Gun Metal Gray seems to be it. I have gray A-Spec 20" wheels now and would like a little variety, if only for winter tire season.
Hi Everyone. Three questions
1) Has anyone tried the TLX 18 inch wheel size - 18 x 7.5 suggested by qwxilver or the RDX 2016-2018 equivalents? I believe their offset is +45. I would use Latitude Xice 2's (235/60/18's). When I put the config into an offset configurator it seems OK per picture below. The 7.5" vs 8" width does not seem to factor in
2) After the installer mounts the 42753-T6N-A02 TPMS I know the car will learn the new codes. Is any other programming required? The Azura 20" Wheel and TPMS instructions suggest threshold limits need to be checked ?
3) Has anyone heard that Honda Canada is directing the dealers to not sell any RIMS for the 2019 RDX in less than 19" size? Not sure why when Tirerack and most wheel manufacturers suggest 18" is sufficient?
I hope 18" x 7.5" +45mm is OK, cuz I have a set with winter tires installed waiting for winter. ( 2nd-gen RDX wheels ). But I haven't actually mounted them all yet; if I get an unpleasant surprise I'll let y'all know. But I did successfully test fit a 17 x 6.5 +45 1st-gen MDX wheel, front and back, so I'm not really losing sleep over it. With the 17" wheel, clearance was a little bit tight to the parking brake cable at the rear, but otherwise fine. The cable is well secured, so 17s would probably be fine, I'd just want to check it carefully with the desired wheel installed.
The OEM sensors for 2019 RDX should not require any programming. Either 42753-T6N-A01 or its successor 42753-T6N-A02 are alleged to be compatible. ( I hope so, because I ended up with three of the -A01 and one of the -A02, from a reputable source ).
But sensors for 2018 RDX will NOT work, either OEM or aftermarket versions; they operate at a different radio frequency. AFAIK no TPMS sensors are dual frequency ( but I'm prepared to be proven wrong ).
In terms of "hub-centricity", 64.1mm for all generations of RDX, MDX, and most other modern Honda/Acura vehicles.
I ended up buying a set of four 235/55R19XL 105V Falken HS449 winters.
Wanted Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV's but the lead time was long and the dealer ticked me off when their rep did not call me back after I had left messages.
In particular I chose the Falkens because their wet performance was significantly better then the Nokian's according to Consumer Reports. Most of my winter driving is in wet conditions with about 3 weeks of the year having ice and/or snow.
This year I simply swapped off the Continentals for the Falkens. Next fall I'll be looking for hub centric wheels with +50mm offset and generic TPMS. By then there should be more options.
The Falkens seem to ride a little stiffer than the Continental's but maybe that is just because they are new. I wonder if tires have a break-in period?

No break-in AFAIK. Kinda nature of the beast for winter tires, IMO.
I think the stock Contis were chosen for smooth ride and low noise. Darn near anything else you put on there will probably feel stiffer, especially if you stay with the stock 19" wheel diameter. ( Tires for a smaller diameter wheel might ride a bit smoother because of increased sidewall height if you use "minus sizing" tires to keep the same overall tire diameter ).
And don't forget cold rubber is stiffer than warm rubber. All tires feel stiffer in the cold.

I just mounted up these 18" winter wheels/tires today, and no problems with fit. The RDX automatically paired the new TPMS sensors after about a mile of driving.
Now that I have snow tires mounted, does that mean winter is over?
