those are some cheap *** rims, the stock rims look better and weight so much less. Its your car though, so it dont matter what we think.

another thing, How wide are they? my guess is not as wide as the stock rims. Traction is prolly gonna be a problem with anything more than stock power. Also, your acceleration and cornering is gonna decrease in performance.

If you like it I guess. With that said, it would be more respectable to have stock rims.

Same as stock? Then you should have saved your money. Sounds like a waste of cash IMO.

The wheels look crappy in that close-up shot but look good once the whole car is displayed. Who cares what these guys say about them . You seem happy with them so thats cool. Atleast your car doesnt have typeR stickers and giant metal wing(s). Clean looking car BTW.

I had those same rims on my R/T Stealth. They were pretty decent and cheap. They look good on your RX, but I have to agree and say that 17's would make a world of difference.
