The Japanese manufacturers have a long tradition of mostly quite affordable, but absolutely fun sports cars. Many models have achieved legendary status in the JDM scene. Skyline, Silvia and the Z models from Nissan as well as the Toyota series MR2, Celica and of course Supra are just a few examples. Of course, Honda was also involved here. In addition to models like the NSX, Integra and CRX, the Civic Type R is also downright legendary. While some of the models mentioned are no longer built or have only had modern interpretations again over the last few years, the latter Hot Hatch has been on the market almost continuously since the first generation in 1997.
The example presented here comes from the fifth model generation that was replaced last year. It was placed on a set of high-quality Barracuda Racing Wheels as part of an individualization. The axles of the Asian athlete are now fitted with Tzunamee EVO alloy wheels measuring 8.5x19 inches all around. The choice fell on the Dark Gunmetal finish. While such conversions are usually accompanied by a lowering, in this case the factory chassis was actually retained.
The Type R is an absolute eye-catcher par excellence, but not only because of the new wheels. Added to this is the handcrafted body styling in a graffiti comic look. This was realized by Maui Cardesign. The team is well known for their unique work as part of the tuning professionals at VOX.
Thank you to vehicle owner Christoph F. for the joint shoot in Dortmund. A video of the vehicle can be found on the "Barracuda Racing Wheels" YouTube channel.
Of course, the latter also offers many more breathtaking videos of Barracuda, as does the interactive Instagram profile "barracuda.wheels". The light-alloy wheels from the extensive Barracuda wheel range are available from car dealerships or well-stocked tire and specialist dealers. Alternatively, they are available, along with all other facts, as well as price and delivery information, directly from:
