I've seen that set up on a a Black and White TL, always liked how they look and fit. Do they come in any other finish other than chrome?

Nice. Is the car lowered? Fitment looks great.

Any offset issues? Or plug and play?

Awesome... Looks very classy + elegant.

I gotta say, the fact that a lot of ppl critique the 4g grill makes me like it...

I've put those rims on my short list for upgrade options.

You mentioned the ride is similar to 19", did you have the OEM 19s?

How heavy are the ZDX wheels if you exact figure how about compared to the 19's? I'd really appreciate your input since you have both and those 19's are considered to be somewhat lightweight OEM's.

I don't know the exact weight, but they are more heavy. I feel a difference on the brake pedal.Now I need to push a littler harder to stop the car.

Still want these as well, but local dealer won't buy back stock 19" on my white SH-AWD Advance, which I need to sell in order to get the 20" ZDX.

Not my style but I definitely like what you did and wouldn't mind owning it either. I took it upon myself to find out how much they weight and its a lot, like however much you thought they weight add some more..

42lbs each, ufff.

Definitely they weight a lot. but not a big different compared to the 19' OEM previously installed. I didn't notice any difference on driving, MPG (this dropped cuz of the ATConverter update) or handling.
