Nice. I already have the 20" wheels and my wife would kill me if I got these! They would look awesome on our dark gray van though....

You can always go the plastidip route. I did mine in gunmetal and they look great. Dipyourcar has sets for the wheels. Or Amazon. It's a cheap way to get the effect of the powder coated wheels and the stuff lasts as long as it was applied properly. I've had matte black on my old cars winter wheels for three seasons and no peeling or scuffs. I've got a couple seasons on my other car with the same coating and it's still pristine too. And if you get tired of the color, you can change it.

Did your set come with the center caps? This set for sale doesn't have any center caps posted in the listing.

I asked the eBay seller, and he said that the center caps ARE included.

They do come complete and the centercaps were not just painted black, they were done correct to leave the emblem chrome.....FYI.......also, he will accept much less on price!

Damon, did the TPMS sensors that came in yours ever start working?

Yes, a new set was sent to me. The Pacifica has the newer updated TPMS that is diff from the past few years.

I wonder if the ones he's currently selling also have older TPMS sensors then. I'll ask.

Once you had the new sensors, was the process the same as previously discussed here (no action needed and the vehicle automatically finds the new sensors after a bit of driving)?

Just an fyi, I sent an offer matching Damon's and he declined it flat out. Not even a counter offer. So he wants a lot more than what Damon got them for originally. I would have bought them for the right price but I'm out for hundreds more. Good luck to whomever gets them.

Yes, mine was a big mix up, didn't have and he sent me some and they worked....he knew that they were diff than the older ones.
Those are awesome! I knew black rims on the white pacifica would look great! I wanted a white lmtd, but the wife said if we get a van, we have to get black, like our bmw's. Black cars in san diego get really hot in summer. I may get my 20" limited rims powder coated later so it will be black on black leather on black. Van looks great though!

The gunmetal wheels on black look great too, that's the direction I went. Black wheels on the black van might be a little too bland. Adding tinted tails on the black van turned out nice though. Then again, I had a black caddy STS that I went black wheels and tinted tails, it looked nice. But I'm really digging the gunmetal color. But to each their own, that's why I like the plastidip wheels, I can switch it up if I tire of the color combo. For less than $100 I can strip and recoat a set of wheels and a day or two of downtime for the vehicle.

Did you cover the tail lights or spray them? Can you show some pics?

I used a transparent vinyl oracal 3000 grey. I can get some pics when I get home. I've used the nightshades spray with a ppg clear coat over it and it turned out awesome, but the vinyl is about 95% as good and much easier and more reversible if I don't like it.
In hindsight, the tails were so easy to remove that I'd probably have used the nightshades and the clear coat if I hadn't already ordered the vinyl. But for the side markers the vinyl was the simple way to go, no need to remove the marker lights. And you could do the vinyl without removing the tails and it might be easier to lay out the vinyl, but I pulled them so I could wrap around the edges to get a good finished look.
