What's their pricing usually? I'm trying to go with Titan since my budget is only around 2k..
Cheaper than that

Not all useless.. most type r owners don't track their car and are happy with the stock wheel specs but want to get away from driving on rubber bands. Not too mention the 280 per tire cost.. ps4s on stock wheels are 260-290.. on 265x45x18 they're 160-180 each! Wheels Will be paid off in 4-5 tire changes.

Side note, 265x45x18 are the same tires as Tesla model 3 and model s which drive the price down that much more! And More availability!
Nobody should be running 265/45/18 on the CTR. I think you meant 235/45/18, which is what the Model 3 wears. And the PS4S is way more than 160-180 for this size.

Just stick with the tried and true:

245/40/18 on 18x8.5
265/35/18 on 18x9.5

Or 255/40/18 for both wheel sizes above.

/\ Howey industries and Forgestars were a fairly popular option for the GT500 folks and I believe Camaros as well. I almost bought a set for the Shelby.

Is this still a thing, I'd actually be very interested in these.

I'd get a set of the Titans in 18x8.5 +60 or 19x8.5 +60. I messaged them on their FB page last year but didn't hear back.

Their closest fitment is 18x8.5+44.

Have you had any luck with the 18x8.5 ET60's? I am looking for the same. Live in NJ and roads are terrible

so like I said you think it will affect torque steer. Get a 18x9.5” wheel and you’ll never notice any difference.

literally hundreds of us tracking on this setup and we all say it feels perfect no change. If you can find the torque steer let me know... lots with 100whp/ tq more than me as well.

I’m running this wheel Titan 10 18 x 9.5 +45 offset with 265/35/18 Sport 4s and have plenty of torque steer. Stock suspension.

Maybe different driving styles as well as different tracks have something to do with it?

Judging by his car list I am sure he's use to RWD. I had a Cayman and 911 as well before the Taycan. If you drive one of those and then the CTR right after you'll definitely notice torque steer. It's a high Hp FWD car it cannot be avoided.

Driving such nice cars then a FWD civic is likely the cause of noticing it so much.

So I guess I should clarify original comment, no additional torque steer vs OEM wheels to me

FYI, I had a set of forged 18x8.5 +60 wheels made (top quality). Unfortunately, it didn’t clear the front brake calipers on my 2021. 5mm or 10mm spacers should do the trick.

If anyone is interested, please PM/DM me and I can connect you (being upfront, I don’t know if the wheels are still available though).

I implore anybody with friends that have SRT4s, Mazdaspeed 3s, Turbo 90s/00s civics/integras to take them out for a drive and then come back to the FK8 platform and marvel at how little to no torque steer there is and or reevaluate what you may think torque steer is.
