Sorry I didnā€™t get any information on that, just a we owe slip for a replacement wheel.
Yeah just figured you may be able to ask when you get it is all - be like 'if I rashed one of these myself what would it run to replace and what's the part number so I have it for the future?'

Just curious what those monsters run for non LE people lol

Nvmd I see an answer above -

I have read somewhere that Honda Dealers will not be selling the LE BBS wheels.

Yeah, you need an actual VIN for the LE to order those. And I'm sure they see proof of ownership.

Correct. The BBS wheels are currently tracked since they're meant as a "replacement" part

I have an active LE VIN that I keep just in case I need to order/quote LE specific parts -- I know the owner, he's a manager out in the Acura department so he's fine with me using it since he's going FBO

The review doesn't sound too hot. Marginally better track time and the car induces more oversteer compared to the normal R. I'd like to see the delta with a normal R on the same tires as the LE.
LE was a full second quicker than a standard R. Willow springs is a tight, short track so thatā€™s pretty huge.

Iā€™d be curious to compare it to a faster track like Big Willow.

I still prefer the standard R. I can lose 50lbs and save some money on MSRP of an LE. :)

I still think the CUP2 tires make a big difference. More than the Sport 4S they previously tested.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but I work with the guy that takes the photos for all the cars at my dealer here. He's friends with someone that makes the gearboxes on our Type-R's. These Type-R's have miles on them from the factory.

They get tested right on the track. See if there's any issues. If there's a problem, it get's fixed. Then it gets sent back onto the track again. That's why these show up with miles on them. PDI shouldn't be more than 1 or 2 miles - realistically.

Not sure if anyone knew this or not, so I figured I'd share that information with you guys. What a shame about the curbed wheel. Must've happened in transport.

Unacceptable. Itā€™s the pre-2020 styling
To be fair, that model car came out before the '21 LE, though it'd be nice to have a more accurate one as well.

Tomica sells a yellow one as a first batch limited edition model:
