Jakub says in his IG comments that video will be coming out next week. Maybe this is a launch event with the MSRP being shared (hopefully) and the press drives and embargo for impressions is actually when the cars will be showing up at dealers in early November. He does make it sound like he will be driving it though.

Timing their launch and pricing around the US Grand Prix makes sense!

I did hear a rumor of something being released end of October today. But at this point, I’m over the rumors. I’m at a “I’ll believe it when I see it” type approach now.

I have always wondered, what do they do with all these media cars? I sure as hell wouldn't be buying one of them

 

[Midnight-VTEC]

Media cars are usually destroyed or used in testing I believe they won’t be sold.

The problem with RR is that it is not Milano red. I remember seeing pics of Milano red ITRs back in the day with red Recaros and being smitten. I have a white FK8 now and ordered RR this time around. With that being said if I could get another color much sooner I would seriously entertain it. This car looks good in any color.

Milano is on the new hrv…wish it was on the fl5

Correct, most of them are going to the crusher

College Hills has them like $650 each. Does that mean they would be priced less as an upgrade given you forego the stock rims?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

College hills sells parts in volume so I think they have some sort of business model going. However I would be cautious of shipping charges. You can most likely go to your local Honda dealer and ask them to be competitive.

Whenever you get wheels. Make sure you get the factory wheels too. You are paying for both. Some parts departments will offer to buy your wheels or you could offer them to a parts department and see if it is worth your time.

I fairly certain I'll get the accessory forged wheels and throw a set of tires that are better suited for winter in the factory wheel.


I think Media cars are owned by companies... who's sole purpose is to get media Cara where they are needed.

I don't know if they hit the market or not.

Was just having this argument with a colleague Milano Red >>> Rallye Red.

my first Honda was a Milano Red integra.

Just checking. Those optional rims are the same diameter as standard, yes?

They’re the same specs as OEM, only difference is they are lighter than the stock wheels

Waste of money imo, stock wheels look way better

Put that money towards a good set

If you live somewhere where it snows or you can see ice in the winter, do not use 19in winter tyres. You should downside to 18 or 17 wheels.

I've used 19in winter perf tyres and they are complete shit. I had a hard time leaving my driving most days.

I really hope I don't end up getting a car with bunch of accessories I don't want. I love those stock wheels, and I don't see why anyone would change that stock shifter. It's freaking gorgeous.

Got it, that makes sense. The purchase is factory plus the forged so both sets of wheels. Helps me understand pricing magnitude. Will probably be 2.5-3k more.
