Just got my JDM TRD SF2 wheels from japanparts installed and wow! Currently the car has US Trd springs, sway bars, exhaust, and intake. I kept the stock tpms sensors. The wheels are made by TWS.

Damn, that's a lot of money for wheels in that spec...

Teclis 04-12-2015 04:49 PM

Welcome to an exclusive club :)

elbrohombre 04-12-2015 07:09 PM

Something about the TRD wheels I absolutely love. Such a clean look

SATAN 04-12-2015 07:30 PM

The quality when you actually see them is awesome. I paid the car off so could finally pull the trigger and order them. They arrived in 15 days through Japanparts to my door.

nzer 04-12-2015 07:31 PM

Congrats man. Very exclusive, especially in USA.

SATAN 04-12-2015 07:36 PM

Cheers and thanks for the info.

You might think the photo quality is junk but the paint on your 10 looks awesome here, IMHO. :thumbup:

Davf24 04-12-2015 08:16 PM

VERY nice!!!:burnrubber:

Zhangy 04-12-2015 11:36 PM

damn you must be loaded... I'd just get the TRD rim offered here in North America for a lot cheaper

SATAN 04-13-2015 12:10 AM

True that is a option. However you get what you pay for. ie forged vrs cast wheels. Just my 2 cents. The other wheels I was considering where TWS Motorsport T66-F - 18x8.0J +44 / 5x100 - 56.1mm Bore - Gloss Silver and Advan GT Wheel - 18x8.0 / 5x100 / Offset +45 in racing hyper black.

SATAN 04-13-2015 09:03 PM

While after driving the stock rim and tire setup for around 20,000 miles and having fun with Jeremy Clarkson driving style what a difference this setup has. The grip with the combined lower cg is amazing. I have yet to experience any rubbing up front even with spirited cornering. The gearing seams in my opinion to be corrected to a more complimentary ratio. I can't wait to hit the mountains and visit some of my favorite sections. Cheers.

The 7.5 +46 of the TRD SF2 wheels won't rub at all. I did a heap of track days with mine and no issues.

Only rubbing was when I was running 25mm spacers front and back with about an inch drop. then, very slight rubbing on back tires on plastic upper lining of guard if one wheel left on a curb when driving down.

But, the 25mm spacers make them look AWESOME. Highly recommended as then they are perfectly flush. Or, 20mm in front and 25mm in back.

Cole 04-13-2015 09:35 PM

Also, for 3K, you coulda gotten a super baller, possibly custom set of wheels...

You don't think he knows that?

SATAN 04-13-2015 09:43 PM

Thanks nezr. That is what it feels like. Not much of a stance guy so I'm happy with the super stock look.

I'm assuming he doesn't since he bought an overpriced set of wheels.

TWS makes some of the best racing wheels in the world. And there is always going to be a 15% fee for the TRD label

SATAN 04-13-2015 09:58 PM

I have been considering for a while getting a set of TOM'S FORGED ALLOY WHEEL EP-2 PLUS 17×7.0J Fr/Rr.
Size: 17x7.0J Offset: 47 PCD: 100 Hole: 5 Color: Silver

Weight: 6.0kg = 13.227 pounds

This way you can run the stock tires which can be picked up for basically nothing from people upgrading rims. It could've a lot of fun to roast them since you would drop 8.773 pounds a corner.

In regards to "baller wheels" are you referring to show or go?
Examples?

Cole 04-13-2015 10:26 PM

Well, enkei rpf1's immediately come to mind. Probably the best bang for your buck. Could have got a daily driver set and a track set for the price of one set of those TRD wheels. Anything else out of Japan really. Maybe could have done a custom set of Rotiform's

SATAN 04-13-2015 10:45 PM

Realistically when you look back in the post I would go with a set of TWS or Advan's. My preference is to have a set of wheels well suited to the vehicle that can clear a good bbk and is high quality. At the end of it I could get the trd sf2 wheels to my door for cheaper and way quicker than the general 4 month lead time for anything comparable. In addition no sales tax for Ca. Since when I bought them the yen was at 121 to the U.S. Dollar it makes it not a bad deal. The real reason I went this route is that the wheel will be available for a long time to come since trd Japan wil be forced to maintain stock as it is a factory option. Look rpf1's are great but I would rather get something I love than regret or trade out and waste a grand on something I didn't want. I am not a track guy. I lived in the mountains for 7 years and had a fully built integra prior and love hitting the roads hard. To each is own. Cheers!🍻

Great choice and tire fitment, very respectable. :thumbsup:

why you worrying so much about his wallet? If it doesn't bother him to pay that much for his wheels why should it bother you?

Hehe, I have a set of TWS T66-F (9") and a set of TRD SF2. Oh, and a set of Weds SA10R (9.5"). I think the TWS wheels were more expensive than the TRD off memory.

Wasted money - who cares. I don't waste money on other stuff (smoking, drinking, expensive dining or holidays) and choose to "waste" my discretionary income on my car. And, boy do I waste it on my car!

Right, I'll take my opinion (in a public forum based upon opinions. A place where differing opinions make the best conversation) and go somewhere else where everyone will agree with me.

All I can say is go big! Not to date myself but this is what I had in my integra. Oh and yes I would still take a type r.

I can say the strength/structural design of these high end TWS wheels are superior to any of the custom wheels that you are talking about.

Of course, if you want something that's just flashy then you can ignore TWS.
