Shines bright like a diamond, sines bright like a diamond is the philosophy behind this modified Honda Civic Type R. The latest iteration of the Civic Type R maintains continuity by utilizing the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine as its predecessor, albeit with a boost in performance, now yielding an 315 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The front-wheel-drive Type R incorporates an upgraded six-speed manual transmission adeptly engineered to accommodate the power output increase. Honda has further fortified the vehicle’s braking system cooling capabilities, a critical enhancement to tackle the rigors of track-day activities.

Enter Barracuda Racing Wheels, a German manufacturer specializing in aftermarket racing rims. Fueled by a resolute determination for perfection, they took a stand against mediocrity and embarked on a mission to elevate the stance of the Type R. Their solution? A meticulously chosen set of new Tzunamee EVO alloy wheels, measuring an imposing 8.5×19 inches finished in Dark Gunmetal at 400 euros per wheel.
