But is it confirmed? If so, do you have a picture of what it shows in the iN system?

It'd just like the fk2 but 20" instead of 19"

No offense, but I need evidence of the actual bolt pattern before I place an order for my $600 per wheel wheels which has a lead time of 8-12 weeks.

The iN system is the system that Honda parts employee use to look up Honda parts.

The iN would just give you a part number then? How does that tell you the bolt pattern? It's a new wheel (obviously) so what will the part number show you? Please teach me....

Perhaps a member here who works in parts at a Honda dealership can chime in?

Yeah I'd wait. At least for Honda to say something. Roll on the stocks for a month or 2, better than having to resell and then rebuy pricey wheels. Out of curiosity, what's the rim?

Work Emotion CR2P 19" x 8.5" in white with a polish barrel. I'll be getting the Type R in championship white.

I'm sleeping in the damn thing for at least a week. I do want to lose the amber side markers too.. Smoked lenses would be ideal, but I'd like to retain the amber bulb. That light mod I seen in another thread looks badass tho, I'd love to see pictures of the finished product.

The excitement and buzz regarding the Type R is very much like when Honda introduced the 1976 Accord! When the 1976 Honda Accord was introduced the demand was huge. Customers literally stood in line to buy the little jewel of a car. Many dealers did not keep an Accord on hand for consumers to test-drive, much less to look at, but that only served to fan the frenzy. People followed transport trucks into the dealerships to catch a glimpse of an Accord. The wait for an Accord averaged three months nationwide and over a year on portions of the West and East Coasts.

Did anyone figure out yet if there is going to be any video feed of the official presentation or some way to watch it?
