I could be completely wrong but do OEMs almost always have wheels designed to be sunken for the sake of aero and fuel efficiency? This actually makes me wonder, has any OEM ever released a car from factory with flush fitment on wheels?

Maybe the Porsche GT cars?

yeah porsche GT cars do have a nice amount of drop and flush from the factory!

i just got an M3 CS and it's got lots of wheel gap and also has a "weak" wheel fitment ... also very aggressive camber from the factory (like -2* or more?) which makes it looks more sunken in. kinda weird. i'm looking at the ITS and wondering if i think there's a little extra camber on there?

Damn the M3CS as the daily and the GT4 as the track monster, goals 🤤

But I feel like if the regular type S wheels had the more conservative fitment and if you offer something that is more expensive, it should be more than just the color change.

it’s a good pairing … I’ll admit! my transmissions are backwards but oh well!

the ITS wheels look good to start and I’d probably go for the standard set .. while a simple color change is annoying to pay extra for… it’s not unheard of and I suppose it’s acceptable. better than making a junk standard option and basically forcing everyone to buy the upgrade. Silver lining maybe?

Eh I drove the GT4 once, so much fun with the manual on track, but I bet the M3 CS is close...

Yeah definitely not unheard of, I think the stock wheels look great. In about a year when i can afford a Type S I will gladly spend the few bucks to get some spacers with extended studs.

The manual is definitely fun … a little slower and a little more concern for a money shift but still amazing. Thanks n the street it’s driving bliss.

the auto in the M3 is pretty sorted but it’s honestly too fast to really enjoy on public roads … which is why I’m interested in the ITS..

Spacers are a nice easy mod with some immediate impact

Yeah you get up to speed real quick! That's something that keeps me just satisfied enough with my RSX type S until I can afford the Integra

Seeing all those white ITS made me reconsider how much I wanted a white one. They started looking like a fleet of Tesla to me 😆 The Blue one looks properly special.

ah ok, anything to share? or just hinting at the media drives starting today
just showing the line up of cars, blue and white. Media drives start today and will last over the next few days with different groups of media personnel. Embargo lifted later this month. (Hopefully next week)
