What is this car lowered on?
What size are the tires? Any rubbing with that aggressive offset?

Interested.
Et35 is ok, you can run 265/35-18

I’m not sure.. probably Eibach springs

i just mounted Enkei TM7 under 1100 :)
What specs? Im looking at those exact same ones for a 2018 coupe. Right now im looking at the tm7 18x8.5 25+. Dont want to run spacers though so would the 25+ run fine without any cutting?

Damn those are sexy! What are they called? Specs?
There is a great selection of wheels that are <$120 a wheel on tire rack. I mean really these look great, how do you not have even ~$300 for rims?

Here is a set for $77: https://m.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...Model=Civic+Type+R&autoYear=2018&autoModClar=

Here is another good looking wheel: https://m.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...Model=Civic+Type+R&autoYear=2018&autoModClar=

This looks almost like my wheels (save for the color): https://m.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...Model=Civic+Type+R&autoYear=2018&autoModClar=

And here is nice bronze: https://m.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...Model=Civic+Type+R&autoYear=2018&autoModClar=

Payless & Walmart shoes all loooks great, but why aren’t athletes wear them for sports use ?

Same with wheels, a car like fk8, you can’t just throw any wheels on... with that much torque ? The first thing we worry is tire slipping... are the wheels you put on have knurling or anti tire slip coating ?

Also is the barrel strong enough to handle the torque?

There is a reason why LeBron James don’t wear Payless shoes to play games and why you use weld racing wheels for drag slicks

You don’t need to $3000 wheels for fk8, but you can’t just slap on anything either.

Lol Payless lol.

not everyone dribbles, and dunks like Lebron either, or running a game every time they’re driving to work or heading to the office.

Not everyone is racing their car every other weekend.

For those people, any one of these 18 wheels are going to last longer than the OE 20’s simply from the sidewall difference. Bet you they’re even lighter.

Hooooow many people have had broken OE wheels.... hey so much for Honda Nike Barrels yo!

Last time I checked Lebron doesn’t wear his team uniform when he goes to buy milk. Plus he doesn’t have cops stopping him from dunking on the cashier as he checks out.

These cheap ass wheels from TJ Max (Tirerack) will serve you better than the OE wheels. And If they break buy another without losing your jersey, I mean shirt.


(PSsst, if you do go racing you can take the old unused OE set to the track)

then, perhaps getting a regular civic hatchback is better option don't you think ? since not everyone "dribbles"
