Thanks! Just went on a quick ride. Any drastic changes are untoniceable in a modest ride with a bit of spirited driving. Car seems more peppy and smoother
I'm not a computer... however after driving with my +35 setup, any additional torque steer is not noticeable. On the flip side, it's much more spirited and nimble and the ride is even smoother!
Finally got the chance to get the new wheel and tire setup on.
Did a weight check and here are the weights
OEM: 52.5Lb
My New Setup :45.5Lb
That's 7 pounds of unsprung weight loss. Hope I feel a difference
It's a "big" compact car. As in the 19" looks like they are factory proportionate and...
The wheel and tire setup arrived this morning!. I'll be sharing as much info and pictures of the process of getting them on, driving, cornering, any increased torque steer and overall feedback.

367,000 Civics were sold in 2016..
that makes the CTR 2% of the civic line up.
For perspective:
9,000 911's are sold each year
30,000 WRX/STI's are sold each year
47,000 Tesla's are sold each year
It would be 1" wider so about 13MM less in offset.
Although I'm no expert, this actually makes sense, since it'll keep the centerline of the wheel in the same spot.
Appreciate that! Not all cast is equal from my research and O.Z. does a great job in fabricating them low weight.. 21lb 19" wheel is extremely light for its size.
Well...
Assuming you're a forged wheel guy.. and aside for the higher ticket price for an average forged wheel. Whats your reasoning behind that?
Forged is certainly stronger, but generally wheel manufacturers forge a wheel to use less spoke material therefore the strength of a forged wheel is...
Went with Hyper GT HLT - Star Graphite 19x8.5 with the 35mm offset. Wheel is only 21lb and I think this will shave 5-6lb off the total wheel/tire combo
Should have this stance & look (on this BMW M2) . And hopefully the handling is not compromised, fingers crossed.
