I’ve been fascinated with the idea of dressing up the Ody for a while and there are a lot more tires available in 18" than in the stock 17", in addition to helping reduce the noticeable sidewall flex. This is a tall order, since Honda makes a lot of the ugliest wheels known to man, Acura slightly less so. For an OE set for around $600 shipped for real-deal OE wheels (take offs), these seem pretty nice. Bonus: Since nobody actually buys Ridgelines, these will remain relatively rare and unique...OE wheels are usually heavy, but durable. And I’m not going for lightness here. For comparison, here’s our stock wheel:

Trolling CL for take-offs for my BIL’s 08 Pilot - quickly coming to the ugly realization of OEM Honda designs..

They have two tricks: “Let’s make the spokes bendier!” and “Let’s add some dark accents.” Which is sort of why I found the wheels above a little refreshing.

Looks great! Guessing those are 20" which might be a bit much for my wife’s proclivity for curbs :D

Lol, Honda style guide; Look at those kids plastidip’ing their wheels on their clapped out 2001 Civics, let’s save them the $8 and paint them black from the factory..

Honda used to have some great OEM wheels back in the day.
My personal favorite, the Prelude Type S/Type SH wheels that were made by Enkei.

Very nice, can’t go wrong with a classic 5-spoke IMO. I’ve found that when you have a chunkier car, you need a chunkier wheel. Those thin & light Enkeis just don’t really look right on vans and SUVs. Doesn’t stop people from using them, though...

I sold my OEM MDX 18" wheels and tires to a guy with an odyssey. They look better on it than they ever did on my car.

Yeah, they do look better on the Odyssey than they do on an MDX. Sorry dude. lol

How about the Element? They had some that would fit too most likely.
Maybe something like this?

There seem to be plenty of options for your stock 17” tire size. Just get some Continental TrueContacts and call it a day.
