Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

[yargk]

TireRack says 18x8.5 ET 40 (forty) RPF1's fit the Type R. So far, at $286/each, they're seemingly the "best buy" in track rims. Myself, I would take the ET40 fitment over the ET60 fitment for track use if I was stuck with 8.5" wide rims, but that's me (and I wouldn't buy 8.5" rims unless forced to). The interesting part will be pricing - can the price of a low-production fitment match the mass-market price of a BMW fitment.

(I know lots of people who run RPF1's on the street, but I don't know anyone who (still) runs them in a BMW, i.e., a 3100+ lb car. Just my opinion. OTOH, they're inexpensive enough to replace.)

I've had RPF1s on my WRX for 9 years, 12 track days, a rallycross, 140,000 miles and some ski trips. They rock. (and my WRX weighs almost 3300 pounds)

I was in talks for 19x8.5 +53, would 18x8.5 +60 be something as well? If these end up being like starndard sizing then it'll require a group buy of 10 sets. Let me know!

Also, updated the first post with all the wheels on the CTR we have so far, anyone else got aftermarket wheels please feel free to post up!

Cool, good to know. What type of wheel were you going for with the 19X8.5 ET53?

Photos just got finished up! Graham's Honda Civic Type R with HRE R101 Lightweight wheels in Satin Bronze (20x9.5 on four corners using 265/30/20 tires). Graham has posted photos of the weights in this thread previously, but they are 17.80lbs each.

looks awesome! are these also +42? And tire specs if you don't mind, this 20 inch fitment is spot on!

Ah, missed that. Sounds annoying and a good reason to get 18s!

Holy crap that looks great! I wonder what that setup would set you back though... 0.0

Also any rubbing with this setup?

Typically we don't post Forged offsets, but I'll give you a freebie. This one is 20x9.5 +45 265/30/20. Edited that post too

No reported rubbing, the fitment is good to go!

Plenty more where that came from too! I don't want to sit on these photos, I'd rather post them up as I get them. Here we have the same Type-R with 19x9.5 ET42 with 265/35/19 tires. On one side we have Liquid Silver FlowForm FF15's, on the other we have a pair of Tarmac FlowForm FF15's:

Japan is having their Obon Holiday right now so they're been out of the office for about a week which is why I haven't received any updates. Once they open up again I'll make sure we get some more info!
