But the type R wheels look soooooo good though.

Tell us how long before they are caked in brake dust.. it's not as noticeable on the OE black wheels

These wheels actually looks pretty good with the CW...any difference in vehicle dynamics, like handling and ride comfort?
The weight of the wheels are the same as the stock ones, these are only half an inch wider. The car feels just as it did with the OEM wheels.

Oddly enough, the brake dust is more noticeable on the OEM wheels. These VFS4's are graphite so it hides the brake dust pretty well.

They just don't work on CTR's... They don't flow with the rest of the car

This thread has been getting an overall negative response, but now that i look at it again; these have been the best wheels on the Ctr that i have seen..

Unfortunately from what i've seen soo far guys are switching to a smaller wheel and bigger tire and it doesnt look right on the Ctr.. this car is actually very stylish and it seems to me 20's is the way to stay or OEM

It's your car. Do what you wish!

20s are a mistake.

Dont get me wrong i wanted to go with a 18 or 19 inch wheel with atleast a 265/35 tire

But from what i've seen it almost looks to downgrade the styling of the car..

The 20s have proven to perform well on this chasis, and I really love the way the car looks Stock! Only thing i wold change for looks is lowering the car maybe and inch

Dropping in size will only improve performance by reducing weight. Almost cut in half if you go forged Rays.

Also better performance tire options are available for 18".

Found this pic on instagram (@sheepeybuilt) I think these 18" TE37s look fantastic.
