Civic Type R After-market Wheel Guide

[UFO CTR]

Any update on this?

yes,
rubbing front corners near signal light. removed screw and trimmed lining, and dremel grind some high spots down. Rear flares were grind 1/4". hopefully that's it.

Price is high - over double Volks IIRC. You might as well import Modulo's at those prices. I also haven't seen availability for maybe a year now.

Is this it?

Mugen's site claim 3kg/wheel lighter(6.6lb?) compare to stock FK2 wheels, which IIRC are lighter than FK8 20s...that would make them pretty comparable to NSX wheels I think? Bonus, correct size/offset for SCCA Street class use...doesn't look particularly good though...

wow not bad in terms of price (was expecting way over list price of the nsx ys) but definitely not as nice looking.

I am also assuming at that price point they are not forged...

it says "forged" at the 3 o clock position in that picture

I could've sworn that would've been price per wheel like the Modulos?

They have them here (where I ordered my Mugen Push Start from).

Oh hey you are right, even better. <$500 forged wheels is basically unheard of...

Ok that might be true, I didn't consider that since that just seem ridiculous....

titan 7s are forged and ~$500.
mugens would definitely not be in that range lol.

 

[bouford]

How do 255 tires feel on these wheels?

first season with them but had RE71Rs on other builds. same great grip, response and feedback with no torque steer or rubbing.
same loud tire if daily driven but can be tuned out with louder music or an exhaust

Appreciate the response. One last question, if you don't mind. Your choice of tires spec because of SCCA or personal preference? Thanks.
