Let’s get right to it. Stock wheels kind of suck.
I love the handling but stock 20’s in NY is just a PITA.
I have had my FK8 for one year and in the last 6 months have blown out a tire which bent the rim.
Just this week I bent another wheel. Just getting onto the highway.
Looks like some after market wheels are going to have to be next.
Overall IMO it would of been great if Honda just designed a solid 18inch wheel with some reasonable tires.
I know responses are going to be that this is a Race car & the 20inch wheels help with the 0 Torque steer & handling. Totally understand what I got myself into.
Lastly my tire and wheel protection all of sudden Has a limit.
Now I will have to pay $460 for a new wheel because I only have $900 until I reached my limit.
Soo all in all.
