Wheel Wednesday!?

[maxlt1]

Car looks nice and glossy, what wax or coating do you use? Also wish new jersey didn't require front license plate, front bumper looks great without.

Thanks man. Actually there's no coating or wax. Just a regular wash.

I'm in Houston, front plates are technically required by law but the cops don't seem to care. None of my cars have ever had them lol. I keep it in the glove box just in case though.

I see. Personally, I would do 18x8.5+35 for the flush, and the lack of rubbing on the inner fender.

thank you so much for that recommendation ? I truly appreciate it

I ordered the Volk Racing CE28 Club Racer II rims tonight along with center caps and rays wheel locks. Super excited some other items piggy backed like an HKS exhaust and a Mishimoto intake lol. I couldn't help myself don't judge me too harshly.

Can you guys recommend some tires. I was originally going to go with the summer tires but winters about to hit and we do get showers and I don't want to drift in the rain. All seasons maybe? Thanks.

My understanding is that summer tires are perfectly fine in the wet and typically better than all seasons in the wet. The issue with summer tires not being effective during winter is due to the temperatures, not really the rain. I don't think Sacramento really gets cold enough for grip issues of the summer tires to be a big concern during the winter. Here is a quick comparison between summers and all seasons I found from Les Schwab.

On winter days when it is colder is Sacramento it's not like your tires will turn into ice cubes, but just be aware you might have less grip available if it's really cold out.

If you lived in a colder area where sub freezing temps are typical then it would be different story...

I got a notification today about my Volk wheels saying that they’re a special order and will arrive Jan 2021 so I got lots of time to decide about tires till then.
Thanks @PMM 17

Go for summers and get your VSA retuned by Honda. It will be best handling car. I regret my decision to go with all seasons during the recall from Honda

What do you mean get your VSA retuned? You have to do that when you switch tires...?

Your VSA &TCS is tuned for M+S weather from Honda if it came with all seasons. My Si came with Summer tires and with that recall I decided to go with all seasons. They changed the VSA+TCS tune to M+S after hooking the car to honda diagnostics. You can look at TSB attached
