Umm nope the 2005 odyssey needs a 5X120 wheel not a 5x114.3 so they won't fit.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get price wise but depending on your market it probably is worth 6-8K just for the miles. Remember it's also a 2005 so it's old. The prices of the 5th gens are starting to really drop (although usually with higher miles) Still I'd rather go with newer and higher mileage due to age/rust possibilities. Around my area (MA) a 3rd gen really would fetch 4 or 5K really so I wouldn't waste too much time trying to get new wheels as the bang for buck when you sell probably isn't there.
 
Thanks, so you think there is enough value (and market size) to sell to find an Ody fan, not just a van fan? I've not tried marketing at all and think I'll start as-is first and see what kind of feedback I get.
I don't think there's value either way.. and it depends on what you mean by value.. As I said, the market dictates the price. If you find a "fan" then they at least know what they are getting into.. BUT they aren't going to be throwing money at you. A Van buyer is also looking at the market in hopes of something reliable. I would do as others mentioned.. keep the van for yourself and invest in new tires/rims. Or.. sell it as is and the new buyer will have to know ahead of time that the biggest cost is going to be that. The other thing that a "fan" should know is that at your mileage you need a timing belt service which on average is $1,000 alone. This drops the value of your van immediately in two ways. If I were buying it from you I'd hit you with those two realities.. offer you $3K to take it off your hands maybe. If I were on your end.. this is where I decide is it worth it to have $3K in my pocket or to have a spare car kicking around...

Also as stated on here.. other gen pilot wheels fit as do a LOT of pre 2016 BMW wheels (with AWD generally has an offset that fits this car better than any sport staggered set). If you're lucky you can find an older set with tires for maybe $500. Heck, if you were in MA I'd say come take my old original 16" wheels for a pack of beer.. but you still need to spend money on some new 16" rubber and give the aluminum wheels a scrub/sanding and possibly a repaint. I'm just keeping them under the deck for the day I scrap this van and need rollers to move it :)
