- I'm a big fan of the Classic Type R look.
White on White is what I think helps the Type R stand out.
I found these Awesome Wheels from MITA MotorSports and they finished them in Championship White to match the car.
The Match is perfect.
The wheels are FKL by @mitamotorsports

The red lip and Red in the Logo also match the red caliper.
The finish is amazing, they're forged and weight only 21.5 lbs.
The size is 18 x 9.5 with a 45 offset.
The packing is still the best Ive even seen from a wheel company, The lugs are nice quality and also look the parts.
I’m super happy with the wheels. Now, should it be lowered ?
It’s missing something.
I need those classic red “H” center caps on those wheels.
OEM white center caps with the red H 🍻
3/4" drop has my vote
Not a fan. Stock looks better
I like the OEM wheels look better with 10mm wider tire honestly
I don’t mind the oem wheels. The satin /flat black doesn’t do them justice IMO
I personally will not lower my FL5. I won’t deny that modestly lowered FL5s look great, but I personally wouldn’t risk it on the track for the same reasons you mentioned.
I would lover it. I’m not sure what’s available but 1-1.25 should look nice not make it to low.
OEM looks better
Spoon lowering springs would be nice
The stripes on the wheels is not it
I'd say lower an inch if possible.
John, since your intent is to enjoy track time with the FL5, then I would not lower it a lot, but a 1" drop for lowering the center of gravity would be ideal ... however, the stock Type R adjustable shocks are really great for track use--maybe just quality lowering springs with a very modest lowering. The stock ride height gives you enough play for hard cornering/S turns. My advice: Track it without lowering it first to feel the control/rebound in/out of corners before lowering.
Looks Amazing white spoiler white Rims yaaa 🙌🏿 RSR coilovers might be the way to go, JDM and keeps all the typeR functions intact 😁👍🏿 that way you can make the right adjustments to the height as needed 😊
Good on you man. White wheels are truly for the brave and I hope you like washing them- LOL I like the white on white you got going on but to be honest I just don't like the red-line style wheels. Offset in +40/+38 would have looked really nice. Nice throwback mod theme going on. Cheers
Wheels are incredble. They even make a 4x100 for a Honda Fit! Maybe lower it 5-10mm? Nothing more than that imo or it would get impractical.
Definitely need the Honda H center hub caps. Don't lower it. Otherwise they look fantastic.
Definitely install a suspension and lower it to perform vs stance I’m
Sure with that offset you will not rub.
If you're thinking of lowering this vehicle, I would consult Mike Kojima at Moto IQ to get his ideas and suggestions for ride geometry and other parameters. There is no one else as passionate about suspension tuning than Mike. I do nothing related to suspension without his input.
Lower it, and ditch those center caps
I would lower it 15mm
Definitely needs to be lowered. Nothing crazy but go down.
Lower it!
Just lower to eliminate the gap
is this for a customer, or your car?
you mentioned you didn't like current generation Hondas, and you sold your previous blue fl5.
I was wondering the same thing what happened to the blue one
I talked about it in episode 1
@@LHTPerformanceokay I was confused because in episode 1 you said it was for a client, but in this episode you stated "I" may want to track this car....
No need lower, balance is already good stock. Type R
Jw, is 35 psi ideal? I always thought 40 psi was?
a mild drop would look clean and still function just fine
Don’t think the chat understands how huge reducing each rim and tire by 8LBS is .. 8X4 …32 LBs of ROTATIONAL MASS weight reduced
Yes. Most don’t really see the advantages. It’s a win win I think.
John, for the new Civic Type R FL5, did it fall in the same category of NTHSB/Recall for the lift pump (in-tank fuel pump) impeller issue? I just accomplished the recall myself with a DW300C (on 10th gen Accord Sport 2.0T), since Honda is on long-term backorder for OEM fuel pump ... even though DW's photo instructions were great, would be a stellar/viral video showing proper replacement in 10th and 11th gen Civic/Accord. Huge fan of your content; much love and aloha from Hawaii!!!
@@JohnathonMyers Thanka my friend.
When I checked mine wasn’t affected, if it was. I wouldn’t get it warrantied, I’d do it myself. I don’t let touch anything except my trade 😉
Lower it a bit just to get rid of some of that wheel gap
Absolutely lower it. 1” would be nice.
Beautiful set of wheels, they really pop with the brake callipers 👍. Glad you got them ceramic coated, white wheels can be prone to being dirt magnets. I quite like the design of the OEM wheels, its just a shame Honda don't offer a white option to go with the CW paint.
Yea. I think Honda has lost touch in a lot of ways. The oem wheels doesn’t look bad. It’s almost flat black. I was going to finish the stock ones in CW until I saw the MITA wheels design
OEM ride height looks just right imho
Slight drop😎
👍🏻
I don't mind black wheels on a bright colored car, but these are correctly perfect. Maybe half of the gap, of what's there now, between tire and fender lip would be enough to improve the stance without being too compromising.
I like black wheels, the factory almost look flat black. Always look dirty. I’m really liking the white on white
Wtf would you make a heading "classic type r" when its the newest version?! It makes no sense at all. Its also the worst TR so far!
My thumb nail cut off the word ‘Inspired’.
My back ground is OG Hondas and I really liked my ITR. The new Type R isn’t the best, it’s just the best we can get from Honda now.
I think the classic Type R would suit it.
Proper championship white ctr
1st
Stunners!
Not good
I think a slight lower, 1 in or less would complete the OEM+ look you're going for. Hopefully with a slight rake I think would look good. Very different from typical honda setups but looks good!
Spoon springs
personally it looks great already if it was me i would leave it
but your an expert so lowering it correctly would be a breeze for you slight 1 inch drop using jrz coils
So this look with the smaller wheels, makes the car look like a normal civic and here is one the issues I have with the FL5, the bigger rim looks better but not so functional. A sports car of this caliber and cost shouldn't have to be reduced to something smaller to make it work...its not like im saying it needs to be on twenties with zero capabilities. But a proper sports car should be able to ride with the rim it was supposed to be designed for.
You should lower it !! Eibach or swift spring. Great quality stuff or even spoon
We’ve installed both. I think the swift springs have too much drop for my flavor.
@@LHTPerformance I was going to get eibach pro kit spring would you recommend it ?
John, great great job on the car!! Exactly how it should’ve come from the factory!! Nice choice on the well spec; all of it, that a good 7.5lbs savings per (if I caught that right), and with the 45 offset it sits closer to fender, just right IMO. I don’t intend on lowering mine, even though it may not see the track. Slightly lowered does look great though. Only thing I changed was the exhaust. I went with a Milltek valved non res with3 equal black tips. Perfect combo of looks and sound. Also, the modular design makes it easy to swap in a resonator in case I want to make it quieter (but I don’t think so!).
I think it would look better with a taller profile tire. 265/40 instead of 35.
Looks good, i feel like it needs lowered, but since you actually drive your cars on track, going lower may hinder more than help. Looks awesome!

Love the body color wing 👍
I really like the color matching and white wheels.
Lht's vids never fail to knock out of the park!
Thanks buddy 🙏
I think maybe half and in to 3/4 in lower would be perfect. great set up!
The Type R is looking so good with those Mita Wheels! Got to love the whiteon white color combo to throw it back to the OG type R. Enjoy it John it looks 🔥🔥
Wow, it really looks fantastic. One of the best Paint Colors ever!
I would definitely recommend a mild lowering spring like Spoon.
Spoon are double the price of everything else. No spoon train for me.
Its unfortunate that the main US dist for Spoon adds 100% markup over Japanese prices. That ls why I buy directly from Japan.
@@tonywenzel Yes. It’s kinda hard to wanna buy their stuff when it’s priced way higher than the other options
Eibach springs would be great on that R.
Where are the Wheels made? Never mind Google is my friend!
Lower inch and a half and she'll look amazing
I wouldn't lower it. Looks perfect.
I would add red H center caps or no center caps
New alloys look fantastic. If you lower the car, I personally would go the manufacturer way, means, they lower always about 10mm. Will look a bit better, have better grip and stiffness but you won't scrape the ground.
I will throw in near future the 20th anniversary Suspension on my S2000, not too low, but improved. Gives me the kind of OEM+ feeling.
Enjoy your new alloys.
I’m never into drastic lowering. ‘Parking lot’ looks nice but isn’t functional and takes away from the geometry of the original design.
@LHTPerformance That's the best thing. A garage queen is nice to watch but usually bad to drive. And with current hot weather there's nothing better than driving a S2000 without having back pain after the ride 😅🍻
I hate the new civic. 🤢🤮 wheels are fantastic!
lol. 👍🏻
@@LHTPerformance I’m a 90’s Honda guy. Currently building an H22A powered EG civic for my 16 yo son’s first car. It’s his dream car ❤️
@@allenbrowning1551 That’s awesome. I’m building my son a. 1990 CRX and I own a 1991 CRX with a full ITR swap. Still love my 90s Hondas.
I mean, look, they are nice wheels but......... why would you spend another $5K or whatever for some rims that are pretty much exactly the same as the ones that came stock on your car? I mean, aren't the stock rims on those Type R's like BBS forged wheels anyhow?? I guess when you're ballin' outta control paying an additional $5K to have matching colored wheels doesn't mean much to you, but for regular folks...... it's a lot of money.
Downsizing to 18” from the stock 19’s is common on these cars, as well as from the stock 20’s on the FK8 along with wider rubber. Gets more meat under the fenders, plus the rotational mass reduction.
Stock are not forged. Offset doesn’t look right. Flat black, I don’t like….
Stock Looks awful, heavy etc. Balling out of control and Civic …..lol.

How much for the car?
Stance is perfect
Looks Fantastic!
John, As a general rule, i don't lower for two reasons: 1) Snow; 2) I'm old and creaky, so every 1/2" makes it exponentially harder to get in and out. I agree it might look better, though.
@@7275vrt lol
@@7275vrt So there's snow coming?
Those wheels in gunmetal would be 🔥
I think so too. Gun metal on red would look money.
FL5 is just not a good looking vehicle... I'm sorry
Live it like it is... that high is perfect
White wheels do not look good on any car.
Google "MS-13"... They better be paying the cartel.. LOL!
