Hey,
Haven't posted in a long, long time. I've owned over 11 Acuras, many TL's, MDX's, and a couple TSX's over the last 9 years. I just traded in my 12 MDX Advance for a 14 MDX SH-AWD Tech. I couldn't justify the extra $ for the ADV especially when I had to pay for a lame TV option that's already outdated when it's released. No one uses these things anymore, and they should be (at the very least) integrated in the rear headrest a 'la BMW, Rover, MB, etc.
Anyway, I do not like either the 19" tech wheels or the 19" advance wheels for 2014. UNFORTUNATELY, Acura did a really crummy thing by changing the 2014 bolt pattern to 114.3 x 5. 2007 to 2013 was 120 x 5. Now I can't put 20" ZDX accessory wheels, or 2013 Advance wheels on because they won't fit. I don't have the patience to try aftermarket as there is always some problem with fitment, or vibrations, or not being hubcentric/lugcentric. So now I'm only stuck with getting the 19" tech wheels chromed. My sister just bought a 14 MDX Tech in Graphite/Ebony and my mom got a 14 MDX SH-AWD in White Diamond/Parchment. I had them do the 19" chrome tech wheels on my mom's, and my sister liked the alloy look. Wanted to make all 3 new 14 MDX's look different. I'm especially irritated that they narrowed the rim width down from 19 x 8.5 to 19 x 8. A long time Acura customer very annoyed right now :uzi: :uzi:
