Identity Crisis: Pilot with 4 types of wheels... - Honda Pilot

rondog · 01-22-2009, 06:10 PM

Here's a brief history of the wheels that have been on my pilot:

first I started with 19" x 8.5" 42mm offset Satin Silver machined Inspyres:

Then I moved onto the Mirror Polished with clearcoat Devotion 1pF forged Monoblock 20" x 8.5" 40mm offset wheels:

Got the new Liquid Silver machined lip 20" x 8.5" with a 40mm offset Legend Type II:

Finally, got the wheels powdercoated Raven black with a hint of pearl:

Other mods are mesh grille in some shots, Westin Sport chrome tubes and some aftermarket tailights.

Tire sizes are marked on the bottom left hand corner of some of the pics, a 275/45/20 was what i went with, but proved to be slightly too large. next time, i'll run with something smaller to make the 20" wheels look a bit bigger.

Very nice! I like the powder coated ones the best!

Wow, you change wheels the way Jay changes vehicles!

BTW: I like the first set the best.

Nice shoes!

I like the first and last sets most. If you had more chrome blings and trimmings when you put on the first set, it would have looked even better then.

Why just change your underwear when there's a new suit on the rack.

The liquid crystal pre powdercoat works best for me.

Love to spend that money but my truck got it this quarter!

I am the company owner of RonJon Wheels, so anytime we get something that fits the Pilot, I'm quick to see what it will look like.

The Black wheels toward the end are my favorites because they look aggressive and are the least maintenance.

The black rims needs a silver or maybe a red lip.

A dark grey might have worked better too. imo
