Seems rather annoying to have pay a lot extra to "downgrade".

I agree.

I'm not going to pay extra for different wheels. Anyone find the perfect vehicle yet?

I would imagine a dealer might be able to swap for smaller wheels off of another Pilot or Ridgeline on the lot. You get smaller wheels, they get a Pilot/Ridgline with the "fancy" 20" wheels that they can charge somebody extra for later.

This is something Honda should offer. I shouldn't have to negotiate for it at the dealership.

Unfortunately, the 2019 Honda Passport will come standard with 20-inch alloy wheels and tires on all trims.

Well, they got the "Unfortunately" part right.

Still no reply from Honda to my email about this issue. I think they've exceeded their "3-5 business days". My guess is that a bunch of Honda executives are trying to translate RR's "screwed the pooch" into Japanese.

I emailed a pre-sales question to Acura 3 weeks ago. I got a reply today. That's 3 WEEKS, not days.
