Great looking wheels, I have even seen the center cap blacked out, it looked really nice.

I know I am asking you a lot of questions, but one more tiny thing. The tpms on my originals didn't fit the kmc wheels. So now the tpms sensors are always on. How did you deal with that. Did you get some kind of a universal ones?!

Mine worked on it perfectly, mine is a 12 touring maybe there different for that year/model.

Sounds like you didn't get tpms spec wheels. Subtle mods had to be made to wheels to accommodate tpms.

The accessories shop told me that my tpms wouldn't fit and would angle wrong in there... He said I will need some universal tpms and program it to my pilot!
This is what he told me,, if it sounds ridiculous then he's probably ripping me off!

I recently learned the same thing, the Honda TPMS fit my aftermarket wheels.

So, you let them mount tires without TPMS? You know that's illegal for shops to do, right?

And personally, I would not have left the shop with my TPMS light on!

[yabazid]

I am not being lazy or anything,, but do you know what tpms would go on them. The guy told me that the ones that were on the original LX steel wheels wouldnt fit on the my KMC. And I dont know how to find a tpms that would fit. !!!
HELP,, I AM SICK OF TPMS LIGHT

Well, again, the shop was wrong and is at fault for mounting wheels to your Pilot without TPMS. You can hold them to that, they should know the law.

All I know about Honda's TPMS is that its work on 315mhz.

I was also puzzeled to figure out which TMPS sensors fit any given wheel, but after learning Tirerack used OEM sensors in my aftermarket wheels, it appears there is some standard out there for TMPS size and shape. They do tend to look similar when shopping. But who knows for sure???

I just noticed that you have a LX pilot. You need the ones for the EX wheels since the LX sensors do have a weird curve.

[yabazid]

Ok then, I will either get the EX tpms or get those ORO-TEK™ OPA-STKA - Honda Pilot 2009-2012 TPMS Sensor
I will let you guys know what happen

[yabazid]

Got the orotek from carid, they worked. It's been a while since I installed them, but I just remembered this post

Question to OP. Did you have to use spacers or hub centric rings? I' m thinking about getting the KMC Monsters, but debating between 18 and 20s. How comfortable/noisy is your ride?

Yes I used the hub centric rings no spacers. Pretty comfortable ride the tires are really not that noisey for all terrain tires.
