Hey all, I'm thinking of getting these center caps instead, how does it look compared to the white ones that came with my car? It seems that this car comes with red emblems stock, is that true?

CURRENT:

AFTER:

QUESTION on tire size, personally think the 265/30 is too low profile, would I be ok with 275/35 considering suspension is stock? Will there be any rubbing on any part of the vehicle?

Why not just get the "3D" OE center caps? I personally like that "3D" look the best.

I personally don't think there's anything wrong with the 265/30 profile. I had my car for over 1.5 years without issues driving around these crappy SoCal roads. My wife's Audi S3 have 235/35 profile that mathematically is only about 2mm more sidewall than the 265/30 and we have that car for almost 10 years now without any issues. One benefit of sticking the OE tire is that they can be had for super cheap at the dealer, of all places!

Im sure when the time comes I'll go with the tires that make sense financially lol. Thanks for giving examples, that helped.

What did you mean by 3D center caps? Something like this?

I wondered the same thing too.
Do people normally go for the classic black and white look? I don't like it tbh lol.

 

[TolgaTypeR]

@Cueyo Yeah I like your centercaps way better, now I need to find the originals without spending an arm.

Lol not that I've ever heard of, most people want the ones that come stock on the type R's.

If you want to get an exact part number, you should go into Honda's official part site, Honda dreamshop. Type in your cars vin or model and make and you will have every part Honda sells for our cars.
