I've had these since last October. Bad experience - I bought Nitto NT 555's - the size everyone has- I think 245/35/19
Right out of the gate - tire shop could not balance the wheels - finally found two tires with radial pull - got them changed before Chicago winter hit - wheels have been in the garage ever since.
Two weeks ago I took my winter wheels off - put the 15mm Ichiba spacers on (yes - I have a MT).
BIG Surprise again - steering wheel/driving vibration + Right side pull
Took it to Acura - Alignment is in the green - no pull/vibration with the winters (no spacers) - conclusion :
1. One/two of the tires have radial pull ( kind'a unlikely since I already changed two) - and Nitto's are supposed to be really good
2. Or the spacers are f***ing it up- alignment/balance
Car's at NTB as we speek -for the 3rd or 4th time.
Two things to the community:
1. If you have MT/Brembo's - Skip this Deal
2. Anybody wants my wheels ? Barely drove on them - I'll give you a Good price $$

skip ntb, pep boys, etc..indy shop FTW.
switch the spacers left to right, and the tires front to back or left to right to try to isolate if its the spacers or the rims and tires.
make sure rims are not bent and that they are properly balanced.
If the tires were sitting all winter, make sure you drive them a little to warm them up and to get out any flat spots that may occurred from sitting.
I had these rims with 15mm v2 spacers, before and after I had my rotora bbk, no problems here
sorry to hear your having so much troubles

Looks like I've joined the crew...love how these rims look. I thought they were going to be too big for the car but after finally seeing them on the car in person, I fell in love with them instantly. Here is my SSM 05 TL with A-Spec Suspension and H&R Springs if anyone wants to see the configuration. Wheels are wrapped in 245/35/19 Goodyear Eagle GT All Seasons. Love how these tires look. Have been getting compliments all weekend on these wheels.

I was thinking of blacking out my acura emblems on my rims too...nice touch.

Contact goldcoastacura-parts on eBay. That's the dealerships eBay user name, when i ordered mine he said that he had 4 more sets available in sparking silver. this was about 2 weeks ago though. His name is Keith.

Im dropped 1.5 all around...and i have no rubbing with 245/35/19 tires on my rims. Hope that helps. I would assume 2" would have rubbing judging from the space i have left.

Yes I questioned that...I had the same concern. I bent a rear wheel 1 week after I put the wheels on....nasty pot hole...I was running 38 up front and 36 in back at the time. Replacement wheel coming UPS tomorrow so I'll be testing this higher psi this weekend. Wondering if this is why some have seen lower mpg too..not enough pressure. I'm going to try 48 up front and 45 in rear to start with and see how I like it

I'm running 42 up front, and 40 in the rear. I've found that anything less then that will leave the tires looking under-inflated. The ride is decent, but i'm also lowered.
Some of the guys on here are running 38-36 and seem to get a more comfortable ride. I cant imagine what a higher PSI will feel like on 245/35 tire.

I'm liking the higer psi...running 44 back...47 front. not really any harsher of a ride and car actually handles considerably better. I've never had tires like these before... very sticky and responsive. If you like a sporty feel and ride, they are awesome....and still have 30K mileage warranty....i run snows in the winter so these should last me a few years

Just sold my RDX wheels...I was curious and was checking prices on ebay to see if the deal can still be had....cheapest I found them for was $900 or so...
They've went up considerably.
I hope the new owner loves them as much as I did...I gave him a good deal, since I got a deal on them.
