It rides a tad bit stiffer than the 19" wheels I originally had on the car. I was running Michelin Pilot Super Sports in 235/35/19

If you're asking how to rides compared to that factory 18" wheels and Eagle F1 summer tires that came with the car, them I'm not really sure. I only used those wheels to get home from the dealer lol

I never was a fan of OEM SI wheel.

I'm also interested in where the wheels were bought. I have been wanting black wheels with a red pin stripe like the CTR, but there's really no good after market options yet.



Also, what fitment did you have to do or worry about?
Ze40 time attack edition . $1000 each ....

Just picked up a new 2018 Civic SI.

After searching Hi and Low for a deal on a CTR, I just ended up pulling the trigger on this.

Aegean Blue was by far NOT my first color choice. Very bright color. I'd prefer Black or White. But the deal was too good to pass up.

So far I've tinted the windows and installed some CTR wheels.

That looks very nice! Usually I’m not a fan of aftermarket rims, but this really good

Not really aftermarket but they do look like it. I would definitely consider them if they were 19”
I’m still not sure why Honda made them 20”

Yeah, 19 is the sweet spot for the civic in my opinion. I love the Si rims, but if they were in the existing design and 19 inch, that would be perfect. They probably made the Type R 20 inch for the bling bling factor

such a shame it’s a track car but they chose the wrong wheels and tires for it.
Reminds me of the hellcat. 707 hp with tiny 275 tires. Should be 305s at least to put all that power down

The wheels were purchased from a local Type R owner who is now happily rolling on Volks. :thumbsup:

The adapters can get a bit tricky without doing a little research first. There is a lot of cheap crap from China being sold on eBay. You wanna stay away from those
"no name" Adapters by any means necessary. Unless you like having your wheels fly off the first time you go on a canyon run, sending you into a ditch.

The adapters I used are 100% Billet Made in the USA by USAdapters.com
The Bolt pattern you want is a 5X114.30 to a 5X120
Wheel hub Bore should be both 64.1 on the vehicle and wheels being used.
Backspacing/offset I went with was 19mm

You can probably go as far as maybe a 22mm or so but I wanted to keep it bit conservative in the event I lower my car or perhaps go with a larger tire in the future.

So far I have experienced, zero clearance issues, zero vibrations and no abnormal noises or hiccups while driving. The wheels look great and the grip from theses Continental Tires is unreal!
What size studs?.

I would never get the Type R wheels for my Si. Not because I don't like the look of them but because the shitty streets of Montreal would destroy them!

They look great on your Si though!

Looks great bro! Overall blue is the best color for this car imho. Hands down. I use to like the red but not this much

Wondering if you end up grinding some of your wheel studs after installing the wheel adapters.
