Since your CR-V has a bare roof, the Rhino Rack Complete Roof System with Square Crossbars you referred to would work just fine. Although they work very well, rectangular profile crossbars can create quite a bit of wind noise. If you think the wind noise might bother you, you might be better served going with a roof rack that uses crossbars that are more aerodynamic.

Rhino Rack also offers Vortex crossbars which are much quieter. If you want a black roof rack, you'd need the following parts:

Black Aero Crossbars, part # RRVA137B-2
Leg Kit, part # RRRLKVA
Vehicle Specific Clamp Kit, part # DK284

All three racks have a stated capacity of 165 lbs, but keep in mind that if the capacity of the roof itself is lower, you'd be limited to the lower amount.
