New owner, have questions about previous owner's additions

[SuperFluxed]

Hi all,

I'm new here (but not new to the world of Hondas), and yesterday I purchased a 2018 Sporty Blue FK8 with about 16k miles.

One of the biggest perks from this listing was that the previous owner put on aftermarket wheels with all season tires. This is massive for me since I live around Chicago where the winters can be brutal, and it's my daily driver. This leads me to my first question:

I have absolutely no idea what type of rims these are. Does anyone have any idea? See see the first picture.

Secondly, there is some sort of aftermarket knob near the VSA button on the left side of the dash. It's the second picture attached. I thought maybe it would control the volume or something, but it doesn't -- I can't figure out what it's for. Maybe some of you have seen something like this?

I'm so stoked to be an owner of one of these fantastic machines. Ever since I had one rented on a trip last year, I fell in love.

Finally, I just attached a couple of more photos appreciating the beauty of this car.

I think those are montegis MR924's and that knob looks like a subwoofer "gain" switch. Maybe he was running an amp before?

Looks like an adjustment knob to control the bass on an aftermarket subwoofer, something I bet the previous owner did not leave in the car.

I agree with what the other fellows said. For a subwoofer.

I would find a way to label it “Turbo boost” or “Warp Speed Level”

Yea, I figured it was probably for something like that.

Thanks for the help, everyone! And those are definitely the rims he put on.

FYI, those wheels are one of very few aftermarket options that are legal for SCCA street class for this car. Just in case you ever decide to autocross.

Or if you ever want to sell to someone that does autocross
