they can improve or deteriorate handling, it all depends on what you do

What if I just want to replace the rims with smaller diameter? I don't do any track days, just looking to reduce the cost of replacement tires

all things considered going down will reduce weight and give you more sidewall for more comfort. More sidewall will give more sidewall flex cornering on track performance but if you're just driving on the street chances are you won't notice that.

For me with 18's PS4S at factory spec pressure the steering response is slower, car rolls a bit more . I bump it up to 39 hot it fixes most of the problem but not quite close to stock. I now have re71r with 38hot it's pretty much same as stock although I haven't have a chance to blast it on Angeles Crest Highway yet.
And tires in this size is about $100 cheaper each .

Hey everyone. We received a set of satin black NSX Y-Spoke, and they are now on their way to the customer who ordered them! They look amazing, we mounted some Michelin PS4S on them, and they're out the door now!

If anyone wants a custom color on this wheel, we can do any color for $600! Contact us, the gloss red are now in production, who's taking them?!

Cannot wait to see these mounted up on the customers car.. :drool:

Sorry to bump this but, does anyone know what drop is on this car? Looks much lower than standard swift/eibach
Thanks.

Probably coilovers, man. The only downside is you lose your mag ride if you switch out.

this was the Swift Prototype, it was too low so they adjusted the drop after this. But they still made a set or two which are out there somewhere

Could I get a bit of help boys I'm looking to pick up a Type R within the next two months or so and I'd like a set of wheels ready to rock when I get it. The set I'm looking at are Eneki GTC01RR's 18x8.5/9. The 8.5 has a +35mm offset and "Willtheyfit" is telling me I will have a 25mm poke. Alternatively the 18x9 with 50mm offset has a 16.4mm poke. Now my question how far do the stock rim sit from being flush to the fenders on the CTR? I would like my rim to sit as close as I can to the fender without rubbing issues. Link for the rim. https://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Whe...el=GTC01RR&wheelFinish=Matte+Dark+Gunmetallic

First page of this thread I've linked most specs in here, you can probably find those specs and see how they fit/find the owners and ask if they'll rub.

18x9 +50 will not rub at all

18x8.5 +35 wont rub either unless you run a super meaty tire spec

Any pointers on a good light weight wheel preferably 18s that isn’t crazy expensive that way I can spend the money on a good set of tires! The color of my car is polished metal so something that would look good too!

The hub bore on these is 72.56 Did you just need to get hub rings to make them fit?
