In my opinion, all this car needs is a drop and a better fitting set of wheels and tires. Going to look mean man. Looking forward to the pictures and videos!

Integra forums gets the exclusive sneak preview before the YouTube videos drop.

-19x9.5+45 APEX VS-5RS in anthracite
-Factory 265/30/19 tires
-Spoon sports springs

The wheels fill the arches out nicely. They also very closely resemble the factory Type-S wheels which give the car an OEM+ look. This is a big reason why I picked this wheel over any other. I’m super happy with the way it turned out.

OEM center caps? Looks great!

nope the Type-S caps did not fit (too small). I will post the part #’s for the center caps that fit these wheels. They are off of my 2013 MDX

Beautiful man!!

thank you!

Did you get hubcentric rings?

Thankfully not needed with the APEX Civic Type R specific wheels. The wheels hub center bore is 64.1mm.

I will however need to buy some conical lug nuts.

Perfect. This pretty much seals the deal I’ll be getting 19s. I just don’t like the look of 18s on this car.

100% the car NEEDS a 19. Only FL5’s can pull off an 18 with fat rubber.

Someone in the Civic forums was complaining about steering feel and went back to 19s. I agree the look is exaggerated on the DE5 and the FL5 doesn’t suffer from the same visual issues with smaller wheels, but the driving dynamics are so perfect I don’t want to risk effing that up.

I’m actually sort of puzzled why so many FL5 owners do 18s, but it doesn’t matter because I’m 100% doing 19s, especially after seeing your car, same color as mine! Looks amazing.

Any deals on these?

I’d imagine it has to do with looks, variety of tire choices for either performance or winter and general trend. Another consideration is higher sidewalls for pothole protection. The torque steer and driving dynamics from going to 18”’s is a concern though.

many FL5 drivers like the TE37 five spoke look. I dont think it flows as well for the ITS but it could be that we're a different group that isnt used to the five spoke trend

TE37s are six spokes unless you mean a different wheel. I think they look better on FL5s too.
