What did you do to your Integra Type S today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

[bpebler]

Backordered wheels shown up WAY ahead of schedule! Awesome! I have never used Continental's yet but have had good experience with Michelin on my truck & obviously these "oem" tires. I do think I'm going to try the Extreme Contact DWS06 All Seasons to try something new. Not like you can go wrong with them in comparison to the Michelin's but reading that they are a little smoother & quieter on the road might help the family get used to the vehicle more. It does suggest not to use them as a track tire though - so maybe my early track days will be pushing the oem tires to their limits to get through them. Sigh, gotta decide on something for sure. As much as I like the oem wheels, once I put an aftermarket wheel on that I like, I typically just leave them on - especially if I'm not taking it out on salted roads. Even so, they'll be ceramic coated.

Apparently it's hard to find these tires in 275/30/18 but 275/40/18 is obtainable.

Wheels look great!

The 275/40/18 is 1.5" taller than the OEM tires. Will throw the speedo off slightly. I always use this site to compare tire heights.

Im an idiot and read the suggested tire size wrong 275/35/18 is what I'm getting.

We get a little bit in surrounding St Louis MO area - but I won't drive it in the salt/snow. We'll just take my wife's awd Durango

I did bring this up to them as well & figured it would likely be easier to modify these instead. Plus if I mess up, it will be easier to get some new guards. Or just go with a flexible guard like what you have pictured for now as long as it won't catch on the tire - at least until theirs come out. I'm going with wide wheels (18x10.5) so I might ask them to design on that rides up the flare just a tad higher than OEM.

Where did you come across those flaps at?

the link to the red mud flaps is here, very reasonably priced so I don’t mind cutting them up or removing if it becomes a problem :

they’re flexible but not flimsy. Holes can be drilled to match the existing screws in the wheel well. You can fasten them securely and it shouldn’t catch the tire. How much the flaps stick out or down would be entirely up to you. I picked red to match the calipers and subtle red accent throughout the car.
For now these should protect flinging rocks to the side of our ITS causing scratches and unwanted debris

Wheels look great! No worries on the Continentals. I had DWS06 on my TSX and they were excellent all around. No complaints and I wouldn't hesitate to get them again. I personally like the tread pattern and think they are generally good looking tires too.

Are you installing TPMS on the new wheels or transferring over from the OEMs? Thankfully the ITS seems to auto sync with new 433MHz sensors. I believe the ITS specific TPMS is 42753-T6N-E03.

Looks good. Color almost resembles oem shark gray. +35mm offset not sure how much more torque steer you’ll get but update us when you get them on!

since you have this nice set why not make them your summer/track set and have the oem wheels be for winter?

much better. Love this damn car! Everybody else getting about 150 miles a tank?

Very cool, man - thank you!!

Thanks for that info! The dealer said I can just swap sensors - but I haven't figured outbid I want to do that yet or not. I may just swap them for now & then buy a second set IF I actually temporarily put the oem ones back on seasonally...but I doubt I'll do that & lose the look & comfort. Probably just put some more summer rated 18's back on next year.

Looks awesome! Always loved white cars, but this time went on TEP. Did you use black PPF vs. wrap material?

As for miles - I am getting like 200-220 top and I don't push the car much. This is so annoying to visit gas station every week.

I will definitely update! I almost didn't go Anthracite bc it is a close match already - but my other options were black which I've had plenty of even though it would compliment nicely, & bronze looks good but another LCM guy on FB planned to get them & I didn't want the same look plus I just sold my built Jeep with bronze wheels that I had for many years. Then I was left with Motorsport gold - which I don't think compliment the scheme well, or brushed clear which I think look absolutely stunning, but I still didn't think it'd fit the build & the premium upcharge could be spent on a bolt on or 2.

I always plan to have a dedicated seasonal set on my vehicles, but when that time comes I usually just want to keep them on for looks & comfort & never went through with it. Haha I just rejuvenate that ceramic coating a bit & call it good, especially now that I don't really HAVE to take it out when there's snow/road salt.

It’s gloss black vinyl. Self healing stuff. Yes I guess I may push the car some. It’s a Honda loves it’s. Honestly can’t believe the grip this rig has!

On my list of wants just not sure if I want to use the spoon brand or magic collar. Also figuring out how to do this on the driveway.

Any updates on spoon rigid collars? I’m assuming most would buy the ones that fit the CTR FL5; does it come paired with a bracing plate like they had on the FK8?
