What's up, @SeanMcc23 !

Well, I finally did it. I got some Honda Plilot Matte Bronze HPD wheels, wrapped them in Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 tires, and had to use 20mm spacers in order to get the wheels around the front Brembo brake calipers.

Wheels: Enkei Honda Pilot Matte Bronze HPD. 18X8.0 , ET +50 .
Tires : Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3. 255/40 R18 .
Spacers: Eibach . 5X120, 20mm .

Thanks again Sean for the inspiration to complete this project.

Not mounted yet? cant wait to see how they look with tires! I borrowed a set of bronze enkei wheels during a time trial event, and it kinda made me want to get some bronze wheels but i ended up getting my track and autocross wheels powdercoated bright red. dont have them back yet, but patiently waiting!

"Texas Winter" setup, haha!
Yeah, right.

Naw, I just really like these wheels and wanted to see them on my car. I already have a set of wheels with All Season and another set with Summer tires, so, why not put Winter tires on the Pilot HPD wheels?
This way I can actually drive in the Winter outside of Texas when I get the itch.

EDIT:
We did have "The Freeze of '21" in February of 2021 though, when it got down to 9 degrees Fahrenheit in San Antonio! I'll never forget how much that sucked for Texas.
