VERY nice!!!

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

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.

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.

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!🍻
