Update on the tpms: Yesterday the service manager resorted to calling the Tech Line for advice. He said the owner of an RL put MDX wheels on. The guy in Cali said why? The SM said I guess because he liked them and wanted to. Somehow I knew at that point the 15 minutes spent on hold would be a bad investment.
Here's the deal as I understand it. The '08 system has to be taught new tpms, while the '06 you just drive to 20mph and it learns them. SM tried to do it '08 style but no go. Cleared all again as a last-ditch effort. Light came on driving home. Both Acura and Honda say the sport wheel uses a different tpms but I get the same part # for both.
Maybe I got some dummies in these wheels. Next week we swap sensors unless something changes.
Oh, the HPP centers came in sans H's and I was informed they would have to be ordered at another $6ea in gold or chrome for a total of $20ea. The A's look even better to me now. Check please...
