Hello Rowan and welcome to the site! I was just wondering about a few things, if you don't mind:

What vehicle do you plan to install them on? (We have seen a lot of Ridgeline wheels being used on Passports and visa-versa.)
And what is your price expectations or what kind of prices are you seeing out there?
Do you want wheels only (no tires)?

I was just asking as I was hoping to replace (and sell) my Touring wheels within the next year..

Best wishes

Looking to buy wheels or wheels & tires that come on the 19-20 Passport Elite in the gloss black. Preferably new or close to new. Let me know what you have. Thanks!
Hello Rowan226,
I just replaced my '20 Elite Gloss Black Wheels & Tires and was going to list them for sale. I haven't yet looked into $$ but am willing to talk about it. I'm in WA so shipping would have to be discussed as well. FYI: tires are still mounted and do have TPMS sensors still.

Let me know if you'd like to discuss further.

Should also add, they only have about 1700 miles on them.

Hi all, thank you for your replies and messages. Miraculously I was able to find a set locally. Thank you!
May I ask what you were able to get them for? Someone managed to hit two curbs in the first 7 hours of ownership of our new Elite. I will be doing aftermarket wheels soon but curious about keeping a nice new set around. Thanks!!

Consider finding a good wheel repair shop? If you cannot locate one, ask your local body shop for a contact.

The dealer had put EX-L wheels on the Elite I bought, they then ended up trading me Elite wheels from a demo they had. Value wise in the open market I would say Elite wheels in perfect condition would go for $1,000 wheels only, maybe $1500 with tires. I am in your same boat, I have one curbed wheel, a single wheels OEM Honda Elite looks like it’s going to be $300 or so...

Did they charge you for the EX-L wheels? If they did, they should have given the original wheels back to you. If they didn’t give them back, I’d go back and remind them that the original wheels were your property. Make a stink, and get them to make it right.

They did give me the Elite wheels for no charge. I usually research for a year plus when I buy a vehicle, my wife set this one up so I was going on blind. When I figured out it didn’t have the correct wheels I was upset. I had no leverage, they could have said no, but they did it. IMO, the Elite wheels are a must have so very thankful it worked out or I was ready to pay the piper for the correct wheels.

Did you buy the vehicle new? If so, it should have come with the gloss black Elite wheels, and the dealer is a real schmuck for trying to pass off EX-L wheels. Your leverage is the window sticker, and on the Honda website, as well as advertising material.

My Honda dealership had to trade with another dealer to get my Elite. When they got it, both passenger side wheels were curbed, so they put me in a Touring for a couple of days while they fixed them. They smoothed the curbed edges and re-painted the wheels. I can't tell that there was ever anything wrong with them.

I would have insisted on new wheels. Dealers are sleazy!

My dealership does an excellent job. They've taken care of both of my wife's Accords and now my Passport. If the wheels didn't look like new when they were done, then I would have complained, but I didn't feel the need to push them and ruin our relationship.

As long as you’re OK with it, that’s all that matters.

To me, the dealership risked the relationship. Who knows how long the repainted finish will last. My opinion is if I’m buying a new car, there shouldn’t be any damage. If it was body damage, I would pass. Something like wheels that can easily be replaced should have been an easy one for the dealer, and strengthen the relationship to show the customer that they care about you receiving a new, quality vehicle, as it should come from the factory. JM2C....

As you can see, I despise car dealers, and trust no one. No wonder they have the lowest customer satisfaction of any profession.
