- Wheels can really change the look of a car and I love the way my car looks at the moment. I didn't want to change the look drastically so I wanted to choose a wheel I could drive on daily but not sacrifice quality, looks or performance. I think the Graml Light 57DR are the perfect choice!

Thank you!
Do you notice any torque steer with the +35 offset? I've heard that anything below +45 offset will introduce torque steer.
Mario a little buy nothing crazy. I have +38
How much did you pay for these wheels ?
Harinder Singh I forget how tbh. But without a doubt fk8partsusa on Instagram is the best price for this
I only just realized... the reason why the Type R comes only in a hatchback is so that you can carry your extra tires with you for track day. Makes total sense.
Just bought an 2004 Type R, my first ever Honda V-TEC and already ordered coilovers, induction kit and some other small bits FOR NOW, but those wheels look SWEET so I guess it’ll be wheels next thanks for showing buddy SCOOBS UK.
Oooh one of the OG Type R's nice pick up! Yes the Gram Lights are a great bang for the buck wheel. Enjoy!
Im still using the 20 inch.. i do pick the destination i go.. before driving fast, i make sure know the roads, each and every potholes .. plus i would do a few slow runs and only then go full throttle..
Because he don't get other 20 inch Wheels for this car .
New wheels look awesome 😎 I want some for my type R brosky! Thanks for the video G!
Antonio Carrillo whatever you want brotha I've got the hook up for you
Yeah for sure hook me up brosky! Where can I check some wheels out? I work in milpitas near Fremont lmk thanks again G !
Antonio Carrillo hit up Miguel at Pristine Parts. He's got the fix for my mod itch
Sounds good thank you brosky I’ll see about seen him this weekend thanks !
I like the 18 inch wheels
Nice wheels man, they look great!
Ian Williams thank you!
Very nice. I like 5 spokes. Look good. Easy to clean. Thumbs up.
M Mahtnart thank you sir. Always liked 5 spoke
Definitely considering them 🤔
Great value
Yes i like the wheels. Very nice. I'm leaving oem on for now but i will be getting another set
drepop803 thank you!
Ouch! Sleeping policeman got you. Nice new set.
Thanks buddy
Gettin' ready to put shoes on my fk8. Nice wheels. Looks good.
Joe mama thank you!
Dope, in going to open a Chanel for my ctr and track it. You’re giving me inspiration
VihuelaTv do it and never look back!
I’m just debating in which wheels to go with. I’m in love with the advan RG D2 and also love the tes 🤦🏽♂️
VihuelaTv I like the Advan GT or the TC4'S
Michael Baxi Media thanks, now I have 4 wheels to think about. 😂
@@VihuelaTv lol yeah I know it gets tough. :)
Honda civic type R nice 👍👍
my dream car civic 💜💜
Weng sheng get it if you can! Cars like this are a dying breed!
Hi Mike, love your new wheels. They look absolutely great on your Type R. Blend it with the rest of the car perfectly. I have a question for you. I recently bought my Type R and wondering how did you mount your license plate in front and what bracket did you use? Thank you, Cheer.
Jack W it’s the EVS tow hook adapter from Evasive Motorsports with EVS license plate bracket
Wow that had to be a hard hit!!! I know how strong those wheels are my TE 37 wheels took some bad hits over some years on my integra they were only 17 inch but they were so strong if you had any other wheel and hit that it probably would have been destroyed.
N Style motorsports racing you are right. Not many other wheels could've taken a bit like that and still be drive able. Right after it happened I was fully expecting to see suspension parts falling out 😂
Those wheels look dope brother!
Thank you!
Excellent video! Could you please provide tire and wheel size? Thanks in advance and keep making videos like this one!
Hector Padilla Gonzalez pinned comment
Love the wheels man
Nice wheels! Congrats!
phunkdoctaspock thank you!
Clearly you are not in Canada, meaning that is not a Canadian spec Type R, but i see the VTECturbo decal on the back hatch. I heard those cost a bunch of $$$ to buy, since every American with a Type R, wanted to buy one for their Civic Type R's? However they are only on the Canadian market Type R's.
Think I paid $16 ish dollars for it. Not all that bad. I think the big rage and up charge was in 2017 when the Type R first hit our shores.
Hi.Michael. How are you doing?
Do you remember the last time you talk about the wing of type r, I said those guy had no taste
I was the same guy lived in Montreal Canada, I like you first sets shoes but I forgot to ask
how much did you pay for, would you mind to tell me? I' m looking for the same sets I think they also look good on my white r, thank you.
duc vinh To Thank you for you continued support! Retail on the Ray's Gram Light 57dr $1800 for a set of 4 but Miguel at Pristine Parts might be able to do better for you.
I see you have a baby car seat for your son in the CTR. I’m looking for a practical but fun car to transport two kids still in car seats. Could you please do a review video of how practical the CTR is to put in and get out kids in the back seat? Thanks
Will do one soon
looks good baxi
immi thank you sir
Love the wheels!! Type R Batmobile!
Mr. Tuckers lol Thank you!
@@GridZilla are your wheels 18 x 9.5 or 18 x 9? Thanks! Again, great selection and I like how the design makes it easy to get a brush in there and clean out the brake dust during a car wash.
Mr. Tuckers 18x9.5 5x120 +38
@@GridZilla thanks! I'm putting together a wishlist to add to my Google slides on what to add to my future Type R once we can get out lives back to normal again. Something positive to look forward to I suppose. 👍
Mr. Tuckers yes definitely parts of the reason o got these wheels was for ease of cleaning!
Beautiful wheels! What is the offset? Diameter? And width? Thanks for the video!!
Nevermind, just found out in the comments! Thanks!!
Is that Honda's special front plastic grill/vent that allows more air into the engine bay? Also, what kind of lap times do you run at Laguna with your current set up? Those new rims look great. Enjoyed the video. Keep it up 👍🏻
Liam the grill is www.fkxracing.com/10TH-GEN-CIVIC-HIGH-FLOW-COOLING-GRILL-BLACK-FK8-FK7-FC3-FC1-FKXFCBG.htm
My current laptime best at Laguna Seca is 1:44. Easily have another 2 seconds I can shave off that. Going back Sept 2nd
@@GridZilla Ah cool thanks. Damn, that's some pretty impressive track performance. I just traded in my 2015 GTI for a 2019 Type R a couple weeks ago and am looking forward to tracking it at COTA a lot since I'll be living in Austin starting this fall 👀
Liam I had a couple of Volkswagens before. Wait till you track your CTR. Incredible car
@@GridZilla Yeah, I really love it. It's such a great car. I do plan on enjoying it and doing modifications for a while before I actually track it. I race karts at the state level (and am thinking about getting a shifter kart soon and racing in that series as well) so I think I'll just continue doing that for now, as much as the adrenaline junkie in me is begging me to track the CTR already, haha
@@LiamNickell What I can tell you is adding power is definitely fun but the CTR has a tendency to overheat on track so cooling mods first with mild power mods to follow would be best.
Would you say the handling is less precise with the 18” wheels?
Also wondering if one were to downsize to 18s, if it would look goofy without being lowered.
Thanks
Forsaken Individual not at all. It’s all about tire choice. Less rotating mass and a sticky tire. Handling is much more precise. If you aren’t lowering just go with a 255/40/18 tire
Glossy black?
More Satin than gloss I’d say
What Swift springs are you running in this video? Looks like the perfect drop for 18 inch wheels. Thanks.
There’s only one model of Swift springs for the fk8
@@GridZilla So the swift springs are 1 inch drop all around correct? Did you have any issues rubbing with this wheel and tire size? Do you have any rear camber kit installed or fender mods? I like this setup but worried about rubbing. Thanks.
@@williammillard7177 little rubbing in the rear on bumps. With enough camber that goes away
Stock suspension? Size of wheels?
Ivan Tenorio swift springs only 18x9.5 +38 5x120
Nice wheels
Agustin Rubio Thank you!
How does it clear inside the wheel well does it rub? And what off set is the rims?
Steven Ramdass +38 offset no running thus far. On Swift Springs
Hi Michael, the offset is +45? any issues with rubbing?
Justintm none at all. +45 is actually ideal.
Hey micheal i live here in santa cruz i want to know how much does cost race at laguna seca?
Vicente Rizo really depends on the organizer but it ranges anywhere from $300-$500. If you get track insurance for the day (which I recommend getting) that will run you another $200-$400 depending on how much you claim your vehicle is worth
Thanks for the video, so you mounted the 18" instead of the original 19" right?
Mehrdad S. Roghani stock wheels are 20 inch. The TE37's I had before this were also 18's
@@GridZilla I'm looking to see why would one go for a smaller wheel. Is that all going to improve the ride? Will that cost the track ability of the car maybe?
Mehrdad S. Roghani literally every single track going CTR runs 18 wheels. Not enough sidewall on the 20 inch wheels for heavy track use and 18 inch wheels still clear the Brembo brakes and are waaaaaaay lighter than the 20's or 19's
@@GridZilla Thanks a lot chief, 👍
Mehrdad S. Roghani no problem
What are the specs and what wheels are the ones that you bent?
18x9.5 +44
Does your type R have issues with corrosion in the spark plugs like the 2017?
Have not noticed any. Recently changed my plugs to regap for a tune and they look fine so far.
@@GridZilla okay just after seeing some type r having this issue on the 2017 models I was just curious if you had noticed any corrosion on your type r. Hopefully they fixed the issue.
Why not enkei rpf1s? I heard that they’re lighter and cheaper
Forsaken Individual these are just my Daily wheels. Don’t need them to be lightest possible. I use Titan 7 for my track wheels.
What's the tire size on 18' wheels
Tony Nguyen 265/35/18
Any rubbing or did you have to roll your fenders?
Jay ZO6 no rolling necessary. Slight run in the rear with heavy occupants
hey mike is the fenders a little too tight for 265s or is it just me? any rubbing issues back or front?
anka gülü rubs a bit in the back with a full car of passengers or a big bump. I drive with my Camber set for track which gives me more clearance so no issues at all
@@GridZilla thanks for the quick response man, i guess 255s would have no issues rubbing whatsoever then?
anka gülü correct.
@@GridZilla cool man have a nice ride peace 👋
anka gülü Thank you!
There’s no way that the 18s with throw off the suspension geometry, or wear the tires irregularly?
Forsaken Individual Throw it off? No. It’s all about offset. The closer you can get to +45 offset the less influence the wheel size difference will matter. Uneven wear has nothing to do with wheel/tire size unless you are rubbing. Uneven wear comes more from bad alignment
Michael Baxi Media thanks, your content is making me want to spend a lot of money.
Forsaken Individual lol yeah I know the feeling 😂
like them. is your car lowered?
Johnathon Kennon yes in this video I’m lowered on Swift springs
Hey buddy can you give me the spec of the ram lights? I want to run those guys on my CTR or Titan7. How do you like them so far????? Thx men
Seb Lim Love them! I really like this spoke pattern.
18x19.5 +38 5X120
Tires are 265/35/18
@@GridZilla Thank you so much my friend. How about torque steer on the street with those?
@@GridZilla how bout torque steer my friend? What size
Seb Lim little bit but not bad at all
That's a problem with low profile tires.
M Mahtnart pretty good sidewall on the 18 inch wheel. Anything would crack hitting a bump that hard
🔥🔥
Which tires are those? (Semi slick) Nice video 👍
#17024 for daily I got the Hankook Ventus V12 265/35/18
@@GridZilla Hi, About the tires : 265/35R18 ?
Isn't it "a little bit" away from OEM 245/30R20??? I thought about the difference in diameters
Otherway the car looks really WOW !!!
Alexandru Dan Malinas yes 265/35/18. Slight difference from stock diameters. 2 mph difference on speedo/odo allows for clearance on Swift Springs.
What you do to prevent it from rubbing on that new wheels and spring set up? Camber, fender cutting, camber arms??
No rubbing except hard bumps if there’s heavy cargo/passengers in the rear.
When you do rub, do you know the exact location your tires is hitting?
@@numvienthongsuk4684 outside edge rear tires
@@GridZilla have you tried to adjust the factory rear camber? Or is it factory maxed out? I’m sure you’re on a track alignment correct? I’m trying to figure out if I need to get rear camber arms.
@@numvienthongsuk4684 I have rear camber arms. If you’re talking about taking my wheel set up is different. Zero rub tracking the car with +45 offset wheels
Do they rub?
M Mahtnart nope 265/35/18 swift springs
What tire size?
Charlie Santiago 265/35/18 on Swift Springs
Please if anybody gets quoted higher than MSRP on this car leave a bad review on dealership let's end it together
Chris Smith I hear ya and I know that can make the buying experience frustrating but consider the later. The trade in value is also close to our above MSRP selling privately on used CTRS. I don't mind the mark up on these cars but to a point. Anything more than $5,000 over is too much
@@GridZilla I get it there keeping the demand there but you would think business. If there's demand build more it's damn Civic not Ferrari let the people enjoy them. I've walked out of many dealerships wanting 5k, 10k, 20k I'll never pay over. Then when I ask who gets that money there faces are priceless 😂
Chris Smith I literally got 4.5 grand off here in Canada ... why are they quoting higher than msrp?
Seb Lim demand is much higher in nicer weather areas ie California. Back east and central us you can find a CTR for MSRP without too much effort
@@GridZilla Even in the 3rd year of production? This is crazy.
I find hoarders disgusting..its a sickness I like it minimalist
Stop using motul an acdelco!!! You are destroying your R!!!! Use OEM or aimsoil, mobile or idemetsu!!!! Smh😒
X Smith thanks for the concern. OEM is great for oem level power and steer use. Not so good for track and higher power inputs. It’s ironic because in the CTR community I belong to I see many more Stock cars with issues that I have corrected in my car than I have with the modded CTRs using the same stuff I am 🤷🏽♂️
