I work for an Acura dealership, and got a free set of the OEM chrome 20" wheels.

But, they are all curbed, one is pretty bad. I can get them fixed but they will have to be painted. And I still have to get some 20" tires.

I have a white 2010 ZDX tech package and am open to suggestions as to what color to have them painted.

I was thinking dark grey, black, Or maybe even white to match the paint on the ZDX.

Any ideas?

Really, any color goes with white. Just like clothing. I've seen Gold rims on white cars and I think that looks pretty hot.

I vote for the dark grey with the white ZDX and the color would hide the brake dust and require little cleaning. I like black rims only if the car also has a lot of black trim.

I was thinking about gold but don't know how that would look on a $50,000 car.

Was also thinking silver.

Have you checked out Tire Rack? They have section where you can view your vehicle in any color with any wheel in the inventory that fits. You can see an Aspen White ZDX with 20" rims (or similar) and chrome, black, grey, etc... You can at least get a preview of how the ZDX might look like once the rims are repaired.

Nice pickup on the freebies.

IMO, the factory 20's look dark grey already (see below), if it were me, I'd go lighter...like hypersilver.

I did a quick render of some Ronjon Legends in hypersilver like paint on this white ZDX. IMO the hypersilver looks great with the white and matches the silver grille.

Food for thought.

black rims, black windows, and you already have a black roof ive seen that color scheme on an x6 and it looked sweet
you might be able to pull off a black grill also but i havent seen it done?

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm going to go with a dark grey. I hopefully will have everything done in abouth a month, and will post pics when I'm done.
I have 3 of the wheels at my house now, the 4th should be released to me next week, then I'll buy tires, and have them re-finished. May also have the grill painted the same dark grey.

Finally got them powder coated a flat grey.

Ok now can anybody photoshop the grill and the silver surrounding trim around the air ducts/fog lights in black?

Nodnarb901

Sorry, please photoshop this pic if someone can.

Here you go! I really love the wheels powder coated dark grey. Looks great on the white. The ZDX is very nice looking in white!

Damn looking sweet . Man now I regret not buying the oem 20s I thought they looked old fashion type but you clearly changed my opinion lol

Nodnarb901

Thanks! Guess the grill will be out for paint soon! That looks great!

Btw: Mugen_kid: I saw your zdx in another thread. Your zdx is awesome bro! My hat off to you sir!

Hi Nodnarb901,

That is one sweet looking Z, Sir! ;-)

I wanted to change to 20" as well, but now, Wifey wants to change her car to something newer as well, so... the funds will go there...

So, how did you (or who) painted the wheel?
For (a cheaper) solution for me, I was thinking to paint the OEM wheels to grey or gun metal... Is this something that can be achieved?
If yes, how much approximately and will the paint be easily chipped/stained?

If you can shared your input, I really appreciate it.
Enjoy the ride... ;-)

They were powder coated a flat grey. Cost me about $200 for all four.
Had it done locally in Memphis through my job (work for an Acura dealership).
Powder coating should not chip or scratch like paint would. Plus I was told the chrome wheels couldn't be painted and would not turn out good.

The stock wheels would look good powder coated a dark color too.

Btw: my GM at work has a Dark grey zdx advance that he's going to do a set of OEM 20's in powder coated gloss black. I'll post pics when they are done.

mugen_kid

No problem dude! Thanks for the kind words. Keep up the great work!

wow that looks good, best looking zdx so far. in my opinion 20s should be free considering the price you pay for zdx. i mean the venza comes with 20s right?
