Silver RTL with Nitto Terra Grappler's

This is my first post so I hope this works. Great to see all the information everyone is sharing on this site. I have owned my RTL for 3 weeks now and have had no problems (other than the carpeted floor map color mixup that I saw some of you experienced). I decided to go with dirt tires since I do go off road whenever possible. The tires are a little noisier but the ride is about the same as stock. The wheels are 18" TSW Montage. Seemed the biggest size practicle while going with dirt tires. The Ridgeline has an odd bolt spacing so we are limited to what wheels we can use. Apparently most wheels that fit on a late model BMW will work. I also wanted to report that I have 1500 miles and a trip to Vegas on my truck and the gas mileage has been pretty good (despite some member reports of very poor mileage). I got 20.2 mpg on my Vegas trip with most of that at 75 - 80mph. Around town (southern California) I've got about 18mpg on the last couple tanks.

BTW - My OEM wheels are for sale on E-bay right now. Wish me luck!

Nice looking wheels. I like those better than the 20's and 22's I've seen (no offense to the 20's and 22's...just my preference).

Those wheels look great!! Thanks for posting those pictures. I agree with one of the above posters about these wheels looking better than the 20's and 22's.

Maybe it's just the pic or my imagination but your passenger door sure seems to have a little darker paint than your front door.

Re: Silver RTL with Nitto Terra Grappler's

It looks like maybe it had been repainted - sometimes photos like this let you see things the naked eye doesn't - OR it could just be the light but it does look different.

Maybe a check with the dealer or a good body man to check on the dealer is in order.

Re: Silver RTL with Nitto Terra Grappler's

I noticed that too. In fact, after I saw my picture, I ran outside to check. It's just the angle of the sunlight and the fact that the front and rear doors are not on an exact straight "plane". The paint job is fine.
