im going to look at some type r wheels a mate has tomorrow.

his description is as follows.

all are perfectly exceptable to put on the car now, they come with 2x225/45r17 falkens with 6mm tread, 1x budget 4mm tread, and 1 bridgestone 3mm tread, both of these are 215/45r17. so it is a stagard fit.

im not sure whether to put them on the type s or not. but i will try them on first.

what are peoples opinion on them?

how much should i offer?

I don't know how much are they worth, but I would definitely try them on the type-s. It should look very interesting. I really like center caps with Honda red badges.

I like them on 5Gs.
I found that I couldn't fit the ATR centre caps over the domed wheel nuts on my car, but the smaller caps from 16 inch sawblades fit inside the stud pcd, which makes for an interesting variant.

Two years ago I paid £120 for 4, by the way, without tyres.
