Many miles north along the coast on road trip...

 

Those do look nice. I've looked them up in fact. I'm not a big fan of the dark wheel look that seems so popular these days. I just picked up a 2021 Radiant Red RTL-E last month and I think something like those would look nice with that color. While I like the design of the RTL-E's wheels if they had been available in a silver color as an option I may have taken that..

 

Will post more pics from our trip at the link for these....Enkei XM-6 20x8.5 Storm Grey.

I like those wheels.... any chance they will make them in 17"?

 

Still loving these wheels!

Nice pic...all I can think of is this scene from Blues Brothers LOL!!

 

Darn, the pictures aren't loading for me (on the websites)

 

I can post a few more here...likely just network between us and you is super busy right now. I get compliments at stop lights every week on this setup, loving it.

 

They look good in black, too! Brian, any chance you have tried to change center caps to something with a Honda logo? Figure it is a long shot, but thought I would ask. The OEM Honda ones are just a mm or two too small.

 

Black does look good!


I like the clean look of the Enkei caps, thus didn't look at trying Honda caps on there and expect the Honda caps won't work. Frankly, Enkei is a premier wheel maker in Japan, I don't get the desire to hide the fact that we upgraded to a higher end premium wheel? If you installed Recarro seats, would you try to slap a 'Honda' label over the 'Recarro' label? Regardless, there might be a plug and play option, see paragraph below.

The optional wheels for 2021 HPD package.....also an Enkei. I had been told by our friends at Enkei that they make this wheel and another forum member posted pics showing indeed 'ENKEI' top left in the casting of rear side of the spokes. Also note '45' offset instead of normal 55mm offset. I expect this "HPD" cap on that wheel fits our Enkei wheels, but we can't get just that cap from Enkei since that is exclusive by contract to Honda. However....at some point that cap may be available at Honda dealers.

 

Yeah, you are probably right about the cat being more serious and no, no major reason to think they would take mine. When I have seen wheels stolen in the area, it is mostly GM truck/SUV wheels plus I keep the RL in the garage anyway. I suppose a big part of it is that I prefer OEM caps as well. The last vehicle I put aftermarket wheels on I put OEM caps on them. Guess I like the sublte-ness of factory caps.

 

Good enough. The HPD cap doesn't appeal? That's the only one that I expect will fit...and Honda dealers should at some point be able to order.

 

Yeah, I will probably give those a shot when I get a chance to try one.

 

Lowered about 2 inches front and rear.

 

Hay Guys, I might have missed it somewhere; are these tires & rims the same height as stock? I don’t want to mess up my speedometer.

 

You are assuming stock speedo is accurate.

When my Ridgeline was 100 percent stock the speedo measured 1mph faster at freeway speeds than actual speed per GPS, and with this slightly taller combo at freeway speed the speedo is now 1mph below actual speed per the GPS. Either way, 1mph is too insignificant to care.

Really loving this combo, rides as good as stock thanks to dropping a solid 5 pounds of unsprung weight per corner compared to stock, handles better, looks awesome!

Sweet! Just ordered Enkei YX-5's with 265/45-20 Conti ExtremeContact DWS 06 PLUS' from The Tire Rack for my pearl white '22 RTL-E. Nice to see others have similar taste. How do like the sneakers? I'm coming from a tuned Mk 7.5 GTI with Pilot Sports and antagonized over the tire choice.

Brian, I am in the market for 20" wheels and came across these on TireRack and immediately though of your truck. Pricing is a bit steep per wheel on yours - any way to be competitive with those guys?

 

I see Tirerack is 297.75 each for the 20 inch Enkei XM-6 Storm Grey, and we are already the same exact price.

My bet is that you looked at 18 inch price on their site because their site defaults to that shown first. Click on 20 on their site to see the price on 20 inch is same as on ours. We are already same price on the 18 inch too, Enkei sets min price and they abide it, and so do we.

 

you are right - I thought i had the 20" selected, but I was apparently still under 18"s

I can imagine how this is going to go buuuuuut, have you considered a set of RPF1's? They make an applicable set in 18x8.5 +40 in 5x120. I believe technically theyre within the load range, if one wasnt towing with them or loading to GVWR.

Being its a Honda, Im sorely tempted to put RPF1's on but as I will be doing some occasional towing, I dont think I could justify it for cruising around. I do intend to get a second set for snow tires. 3 sets would be excessive 😅

 

For the Enkei in Storm Grey owners: Is the color closer to silver or gunmetal in-person? From the pictures in this thread, it looks more silver-like on the white and silver trucks, but more gunmetal like on the MSM. I don't know how much of that color difference is influenced by my screen or the cameras that took the pictures.

My truck color is MSM and I dislike the monochromatic look of the factory gunmetal color wheels enough that I'm ready to make a change. I'm considering bright silver and matte bronze as top options, and I am not considering black.
