I still think the S / R and street / track delineation between the two models is nonsense. The Type-R has overly aggressive damping, even for track use, and... that's it. Aside from that, it has zero performance advantages on track over the Type-S; they are mechanically identical (exceptions...
I think it's probably optimal somewhere around 6500.

Good eye; I think you are right. I really like this style of wheel, but I'm struggling to find one offered in the fitment I'm looking for.
I'd like something flush, and I always like the idea of extra tread width, but I don't want to screw up the alignment of the steering axis and the center of...
I don't know I'd swap out of ABP, but I'd take those wheels with the blue for sure (and I would have had to think a lot harder about TEP of that was the color).
