I bought a full set of used rims in order to mount winter tires, but then changed my mind. I had standard tire mounted on one rim for use as a FSS (see this thread for details), and am putting two up for sale here. They are stock Acura 18x8 alloy rims in the non-Sport pattern, and include a center cap and original TPMS. They were sold to me as dealer take-offs and are in excellent mechanical shape. When they were shipped to me, the packaging material created some fine scratches in the clearcoat, mainly on the high points of the rim face. The second photo shows a worst case example. I believe these scratches to be purely cosmetic. I can personally only recommend using these rims on the ’07 MDX with a P255/55 R18 OEM tire (note the “P”). Sport and non-Sport rims have the same dimensions. The person mounting the tire should have experience handling rims with TPSMs, and will supply the needed valve core.
I am asking $180 each picked-up, which is one-half of the Internet prices that I have seen including a TPMS. Local pick-up would be ideal—I am in the Lehigh Valley area of eastern PA. If you want one shipped, you can find on the UPS Web site the estimated charges for a 30-pound, 1.5-ft x 1.5-ft x 1.0-ft box sent from ZIP 18103. I might have to add a few dollars for packaging material. I accept PayPal when shipping.
Send me PM if you are interested. |

Price reduced to $160 each, sold separately.
If you will be using the MDX for towing, you should have a full-size spare instead of the compact spare supplied with the truck. See Owner’s Manual pages 363 and 418. A FSS also lets you drive normally at highway speeds under any road conditions if you have had a flat.
Buy one of these rims, mount a used tire, and you have a low-cost solution. |

| I could use one - would need to get a tire... I had this on my 2003 mdx and apparently the bolt pattern does not line up. |

| Yes, still available. I also have a dealer take-off '07 MDX OEM Michelin tire in perfect shape--full tread--for sale. I bought two, used one as a FSS. Asking what I paid for it, $120 + shipping. |

| So, how much would you be willing to sell the rim and tire? |

Davegood -
One rim and the tire have been sold to a member who had contacted me several days before your reply. One rim is still available. |
