Also consider the Civic Si. If you can get one at MSRP, it's quite possibly the best bargain enthusiast car on sale today.

My honest assessment, is you'd be plenty happy with the A spec 6MT. It's funny as I type this, I'm recalling that my post history probably will reflect some pretty negative bias for the A spec... but it's just relative to the Type S, and what the Type S is all about. The Type S is a true...

lol, yep. See other thread haha

I did indeed decide to move to 18s, and bought a set of Volk CE28N-Plus, 18x10 +40 ("god spec"). I've been vocal in my disdain for 18" wheels on this car aesthetically early in its release cycle, but after seeing several examples (especially of CE28s...), I decided that the tire choices were...

From a phone/conference call perspective, I don't get any complaints. And I was on very noisy 275 RT660+

For sure- it's all about where you assign expectations. If you expect this car to be "luxurious" then you will likely be disappointed. It's a sports car with an Acura suit on. It's not really all that luxurious... but it's so good to drive many people don't give a shit. Myself included. But to...

You guys are crazy, I still feel like 10.5 is extreme and I have the weird "steering groan" thing that appears to be prevalent on this platform, have confirmed it gets worse with wider/stickier tires and I personally don't quite have the appetite to push boundaries on a car I am expected to...

For now local pickup only but once things are finalized on my end I might be willing to ship. There's also an issue with one of the tires being delaminated I'd like to work out... and also the possibility I keep them because I do still like them and would like an alternative to 200TW when I'm...

Just throwing it out there, but I might be looking to move a set of satin bronze 19x9.5 +45 VS-5RS very soon.

I was about to say. The 9th gen doesn't sound all that great lol, and only revs to 7k.

This isn't an accurate assessment at all. I see the car referenced in your profile and have to assume you don't own an ITS. Before I even start, I realize I've been accused of being a dick on these boards and have a growing list of folks who are happy to make it clear they've put me on their...

I love the look of the 19" VS-5RS, but it is true I've been eyeing a move to 18s. For me though it's pretty much exclusively just to run the tires I want. This past year I got a little more serious about autocross, and went from my usual annual outing frequency of 3-5 events to 8-10, and I only...

Nice investigative inspection, as usual. Now I'm pretty sure I have a bent OEM rim, time to get it replaced under the "wheel and tire" package I bought through the dealer. Also strangely I've had a ton of compliments in the week I've had the OEM wheels back on. That's kind of strange, because...

This is possible, honestly. I do recall seeing somewhere Enkei is the OEM, but I wasn't aware if the process was flow-form. That would be pretty cool; in my mind flow-formed has always been a fancy way to cast but I'm aware there are some definite advantages. In any case they're not forged...

OEM wheels are cast.

I like seeing the options, but... $500 for .5 degrees seems kind of crazy. The caster is interesting though, maybe it's worth it for that alone... But regardless, I think I'm plunging towards a set of coilovers in the spring.

This really was as minimum-effort as possible. Crazy because it took what, over a year since they announced they'd be bringing parts to market? It took a year to slap on some different colors and stickers (maybe even engravings!!)? Also don't get your hopes up for pricing. Someone over on the...

On the wider tires with +45 offset wheels yes, pretty easily... going parking lot speeds around a 90 degree turn in either direction. If I turn hard I don't notice/hear anything. It's also notably much harder to hear with the OEM wheels and tires back on but I'm pretty sure it's still there. As...

I was thinking the same about the alignment being knocked out or a nut coming loose, but wasn't necessarily thinking about trying to ping Tire Rack to see if I could get the tire replaced due to delamination. They are the current generation (RT660+) but worth a shot because it is just the one...

What could be happening here? I understand my camber is borderline extreme for the street at -3.5 in the front, but why only one side, and why does it look like something is cutting into the tire?See pics for reference (photos may be out of order, uploaded from my phone); chewed up tires are...
