Default 18" RDX wheels

Hi Gang -

Just installed new 18" Acura RDX wheels with OEM Michelin Pilots on my 2004 Pilot EXL. They are takoffs from a 2008 RDX with 9 miles. I am happy with the results! They are about 0.8" smaller in diameter given the tires are 235/55-18s. I will likely upgrade to 255/55-18s down the road.

Bought on eBay for $650. Shipping was $140. Installation was $14 at Walmart.

Tires offer a silky smooth ride. Very quiet. My General Grabbers UHP that I removed were much louder with soft-mushy handling. Wonderful change from the old. Now drives more like a wagon than an SUV - really nice.

Pics are included.

Cheers,
Anton
