Nice!! You really put a lot of thought into them. I'm sure they'll turn out great. I don't see anybody with wheels like that on RXs around here. Yours will be totally unique. I like that. And I think my stock rims are an exception to your rule Thanks for sharing.

My rule? It's not my rule. I like my stock wheels It's a matter of how the show scene is. Wheels/Stance, body/lip kit and what ever else after, I think in that order.

Stock rims are stock rims. Like them or not it's like stock height is stock height. Most every car I know of looks better a bit lowered. It's not my rule. Not trying to say I am better or my way is unique.

What stock wheels are you running anyway?

infinirx, didn't mean to offend. About 99% of people with the RX could care less about the wheels. You and a few others here are among the exceptions

My 450h has the 19" split five-spoke allow wheels with superchrome finish. They're not as bright and shiny as the chromes but definitely different in a muted kind of way.

No no offense I understand. I thought you might have been. Ah easy to misinterpret posts.

Well thanks for the feedback people. Like I said now I know how to change the brakes and rotors for myself and friends. I just need all the right tools. I am missing some stuff still.

Billy not sure what you mean.

But I wanted to add I am so pleased with myself. partially cause driving on stocks the AWD slipping is gone. I am amazed. and the highway and speed bump experience is such a pleasure. It feels like a luxury car now. However turning is a bit scary even lowered cause of all the air and tire but no width. The 21's were so wide and turning was easy and sporty.

Anyways I am trying to find a quick wheel change solution for where I live so I can drive on the stocks daily and change out to the new custom wheels for weekends or shows etc. etc.
