The worst was the 13” reverse wire wheels on everything. A close second has to be the 24” wheels on lifted Crown Vic’s. I think that one is finally starting to die also.

I was one of those 13” reverse guys. Couldn’t stand the lifted on 24 cars!

"They have to be Gloss black otherwise they look dirty all the time", cleaning gloss black wheels is a nightmare, shows everything...not just dirt and brake dust but swirls, so why in the world would you ever HAVE TO HAVE Gloss black wheels

Been a while but, I ended up going with Satin Titanium and absolutely love how it looks!

Outstanding choice, in both style and color! What size are the rims?

When it comes to “Gloss Black” wheels:

•Why is it that I don’t incur the same trials
and travails, that others seem to have to cope
with, in maintaining “Gloss Black” wheels?

-I don’t utilize a different set of maintenance
procedures (ie: washing/drying/sealing) than
I use for all other “Colors/Finishes” of wheels:
They are exactly the same.

•And all of my vehicles’ wheels turn out
pretty good looking—IMO, of course.

Those wheels look awesome on your Civic Type R. Great choice!

This is another reason it looks so good, NOT 20's on a small car

No kidding. He probably saved quite a bit of unsprung weight at each corner and improved the ride quality as well. A win on all accounts from my perspective!

Sure did! Stock wheels are 29 lbs each. New ones are 18.1 lbs each. New lug nuts are titanium weighing in at 15.5 oz for all 20 compared to 3 lbs for all 20 of the stock lug nuts. Car definitely feels lighter on its feet!
