New high offset option on Tire Rack

[CharlieTangoRomeo]

Has anyone else seen the new "budget" wheel option on Tire Rack? They are 19x8.5 ET55, so same dimensions as the NSX wheels. Brand is Flow One and they are made in China like the Motegi.

I have a set in my garage. Tire Rack delivered them yesterday, but I don't think the offset is +55 as advertised, because the spokes do not clear the outward face of the calipers. They're currently looking into whether I got a set that are the wrong spec, or if all of them are incorrect. I'll keep you posted.

This is why TEs and Type Rs go together like chicken nuggets and ketchup.

If only I weren't obsessed with keeping as close to the OEM setup as possible.

The Motegi 19x8.5 ET53 is very close to OEM with 245/35 tires. I have a set of the gray and the wheels have ample brake clearance.

Yeah, I almost ordered a set a few months ago, but I didn't. Now they're out of stock for until July. The other option are a set of Advans with the same offset (if I can get them) or else a set of NSX wheels. But first I need to rationalize spending more than double what I'd planned.

I bought the Motegi M116 18" and they fit/look fine...but you're not going down to 18's...
