Type r handling wont get mess up with titan 7 et45 wheel.. not sure what you are talking about..Well, I had a new Type R, and indeed ended up downgrading to a Sport hatch manual. The Type R is not a POS, I just got tired of it overheating on track days, and the dumb 20" wheels getting bent on normal roads, and the cost of 20" tires. I then bought some Titan 7 T-S5 18"s in with Michelin Pilot Sports (255/40s) and 45mm offset (because my BMW 5x120s wouldn't fit, the lug holes were do too small, another inexplicable bit of Honda stupidity) but the handling was screwed. And I've found no wheel maker offering the stock 60mm offset, which was undoubtedly part of the cause. I'd had enough. I'm happy with the Sport manual so far, and it didn't overheat on the first track day. Got some brakes and RV6 rear bar on order, and found a good deal on some 18 5x114.3 wheels.
You might has little torque steering with et45 but that is only when you are exiting corner fast ...
Et 45 is actually good for fk8. Looks good. Drives good.
I have both fbo tuned sport hatch and a fbo tuned fk8... i will choose fk8 all day long..
I am not sure why would someone upgrade to sport hatch just because head soak..
If it is switch to Golf R.. then it is morr reasonable...
Gold r can track all day out and handle way better then sport hatch...
