i don't know the specs of the wheels (they look like 18s or 19s), but that is one clean pilot. i like what they did with the grille, but they should have taken it a step further and painted the inside of the headlight housing flat black.

Nice, the all black grill is interesting too. I wonder what other body colors would look like on the grill.

The weight of the wheel will vary considerably with material, width, and offset, but I was quoted a weight as low as 12.9 lbs for the 18x8.5 Volk Racing TE37 in magnesium and 16 lbs otherwise. This wheel in magnesium is rare and very expensive. I'm a big fan of reducing unsprung and rotational weight but still feel these wheels would be happier on a sports car than on a Pilot. I have 6.5-lb CE28Ns on my little Miata. The handling is phenomenal on the curvy rough bumpy hilly mountainous roads of my commute, but don't expect the same on the Pilot--it has a little bit more body roll.

Wow, never thought I'd see Volks on a SUV but that looks pretty darn nice...
