My Custom-Built Vintage JDM Wheels are Here.... And There's a Problem -- Honda K24 Swapped Ferrari

[@stanceworks]

My god, this is the MOST polarized I've ever seen the comments section. From "Holy shit, those wheels are PERFECT" to "Those would literally ruin the car and I would have unscubscribed." You guys are crazy! 😂 I knew they'd be controversial, but this is a hoot to read. You guys are great.

[@Etienne_Diecast]

I’m honestly surprised this was the end choice based on your past decisions. Definitely unique and no one has for a reason. Was expecting something else! Would love to hear Mike’s take on my fitment. (Still a BMW guy although opposite atm 🙄)

[@williamb5484]

Beat news man, im sorry too, but it shows integrity that you're not dumping on those losers. Rotiforms look great, and thanks again to them for coming through in a pinch.

[@SmokeeFPV]

I respect what you're after with the three spokes. Not a fan of those Advans myself, but the redesign idea could be really cool. Maybe less smooth curves for the spokes and a more angular, geometric shape, flatter faces, angle changes... if you know what I'm getting at. (think Borbet A)

[@ZHF0rd]

People need to cool it. Advans look great, and to unsubscribe over arguably the most easily changeable feature of the car is insane. Can’t say I’ve ever dumped a friend over what shoes they had on.

[@SupercarSeany]

I bet you could draw a line in the age demographic for the two opinions. Darn kids these days....

I can’t imagine the car without the rotoforms, they are perfect. I’m sure you spent countless nights obsessing about your options, but now that it’s done, don’t mess with perfection.

ItsFonx I have to strongly agree. From the production, to style, to narrating, everything is just outstanding. I’m always looking forward to the next video.

[@frankgile1996]

@@unfvckwitable90 I have to agree.. there's a lot of effort going into this, from hunting down rare parts, presenting everything nicely, explaining the logic behind a lot of the decisions, and generally "including" the audience in the whole thing... If the episodes were compiled into bigger, 50' monthly episodes, it would give a lot of tv shows (especially the ones that create fake drama while restoring cars) a very good run for their money. Actually, no. It would absolutely eclipse them... And then some... Stunning work, both in terms of the car fabrication and of the video production.

[@alberto7095]

Agree, the F40 look is pretty cool, the inly alternative for me is the group 4 wheels with the hexagonal spokes

[@dailydriven991]

Honestly I love them both. I think the Advans look sick and really make the wide body kit come alive. It just seems natural. On the other hand, the white Rotiforms with the white car and plenty of black/carbon trim looks super clean and yes, does honor the f40. Both good options. Wish we could see the full set of Advans to compare but with that body kit and aero package anything deep dish is going to look good.

[@kaylamasaitis1031]

The Rotiforms look SOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER! As much as I like deep chrome lips, you can’t beat the all white rims or the spoke design on this build. Three spokes belong on Kei cars IMO.

[@BDoh]

The car looks perfect as it sits today. Color change and wheel swap will only take it down from its current aesthetic, BUT it’s your car so you do you. We’ll be here watching. Thanks for making great content.

[@willjam465]

I guess I would want to see the Advans in white before final judgment, but as of now I like the Rotoform wheels much better. I like the white on white, as to me that is a nice nod the the engine you are running.

[@wrestlevania]

I wasn't sure about the Oni's in isolation, but against the car they're jaw-dropping... amazing, amazing choice, Mike, you're a style genius in being able to visualise these long before the car was completed. I'm just gutted for you in how the offset hasn't worked out at all.

[@gastonangella3804]

[@randahlgehrke6513]

Love your channel! I have admired your builds for years but only just started watching the channel🤦 I have owned r32 and r33's so the Advan wheels scream classy vintage JDM to me, 3 spoke wheels have always been the holy grail for my dream JDM build. Keep up the hard work and great content 🤙

[@DeadkingAZ]

The Rotiforms are the best happy accident to happen in this build. They look period correct and still manage to be contemporary. The Advans do not.

[@FCELA007]

Those 3 spokes are fire 🤯 Rotiforms are a solid choice.. But Advans are a completly diferent level 🔥🔥🔥

[@ismailrichards6905]

Three spoke for the win, every Tom dick and Harry and running five spokes.. This build was never average.. So don't settle for average.. And honestly sir.. As good as they look, the five spoke is average.. I love them, but after seeing the three spoke, God damn it.

[@justblairthompson]

@@ismailrichards6905 I dont think every Tom dick and Harry is driving a project like this though. A 5 spoke on this is hardly the same as a 5 spoke on a luke warm hatch with a scaffold pole exhaust.

[@descartes451]

You should run the Rot's for now and test out your suspension design on the track. If you find that there needs to be modification to the suspension you can redesign with the other wheels in mind, that is if they ever send you the fronts. I like your idea of just sticking with the Rot's for now and maybe you can design your own wheels at a later date.

[@justblairthompson]

Top quality suggestion there. Pragmatic

[@paytonlee2896]

I agree with this ☝️

[@Sergio_Math]

I was definitely not expecting the 3-spoke wheels! Even though I think I prefer the 5-spoke in the car's current form, the 3's would have been a very interesing look, fitting of the general build. My favorites will probably always be the Ronals haha. Those are mighty pretty. Magnificent build!

[@williemandowa]

Matt, I think the car looks perfect the way it is now with the white wrap and Rotiform wheels. This build is so epic. I have been watching other KZbinrs who have seen the car at Sema and it’s been nothing but positive feedback on it.

Hey Mike, The only thing that might give a little more space is take a part the 2 piece rotors and push the rotor and calliper inwards, make new centers and match this with a new calliper mounting bracket, though i would be surprised if there is more than 10mm between the disk and knuckle.

[@aimDiego]

TBH, I'm kinda glad you can't use them, I'm not a fan, three spoke wheels look weird IMO, but man, you do you, this is an awesome project and I still wish you get this wheel issue fixed.

[@seandenham1703]

+1 for the Rotoforms over the Advans. They're definitely more in line with the motorsport aesthetic that the rest of the car was built with.

[@jamesdeath3477]

A 1980s Japanese wheel on a 1970s Italian car? What were you thinking? The Rotiforms are timeless. Three spokes were cool for about five minutes in 1993. But hey, sorry for the negativity. Love the build and really look forward to seeing it on the track.

[@ryurc3033]

I am 37(I was a minitruckin kid) so I grew up on 3 spokes and billet.....it's sick. Too bad they won't clear.....100%correct about how polarized the comments are. I get the same hate for still running 10 wide 15" polished prime 3 spokes, and fat white letter tires on a S10. I have 20 year old billet wheels on my 72 Chevelle, any vintage wheels get me excited. All the way back to craigars and slotted mags....doesn't matter. When you first showed them I immediately went back to being 15, playing Gran Turismo 2, and putting those Advan on everything....thanks for trying.

[@TerrorSwain]

I audibly gasped with excitement when you revealed the Advans! The whole time you were discussing wheel choice all I kept thinking was Super Advan V1’s. The Onis are perfect.

[@Aladinscave]

In my opinion you ended up with the right wheels they look great 👍🏻 🏁

[@iferro89]

Love the advan’s. And I love the idea that a retro 3 spoke from rotiform could be the result of these wheels not fitting your build.

💯 USF would look amazing and keep the vibe and have less headaches.

[@xTRACKD]

I wasnt sure about the 3 spokes until you fitted one, it did look sick and i can see your vision! would be cool to mount a tyre to see the finished look. The roti’s are okay, they do the job and from a racecar perspective theyre spot on, but you’re doing the right thing going for something a bit cooler and different 🤘🏼

[@wldwst22]

Watched this build the whole way through, never commented, the Oni's are beyond stunning, such an inspired choice. Personally I'd walk back through the gates of Hell, redesign the suspension again and get those beauties sorted, good Lord is that a look. As it sits the Rotiforms make it look like a Hoonigan build, appealing to many, safe. You gotta have some background knowledge to truly appreciate the Oni's, that's a conversation in itself, an entire video could be dedicated to the history of those wheels and the cars that ran them, educate these fools! Anyone wanna render the Advan livery onto this gem and melt hearts?

[@Gray_Ti]

For someone that said the wheels must match the contour of the car design elements, these wheels are a special case. But, I don't know what do you see in them! I never liked them at all. And in my opinion, it doesn't match the car aesthetics.

[@tonigon5767]

Mike, The Three spoke wheels are intense. The original centers have serious character. I see some options available to you to get them on the car. I think the first thing is to reduce the profile of the nuts on the inside of the wheel. It involves a complete new set of recessed shoulder nuts. Net gain will be about 3/8 of inch (9.3mm) on the inside rim. Then the really hard part custom offset rotor centers. Four centers, two front, two back. But you would still have to decide if you want to change the Dish depth on the wheel to retain the width you want. Anything (almost) can be engineered. I hope you come up with a solution that makes YOU happy.

I’m a huge fan of the super Advans so these hit a sweet spot for me. Sucks at how badly this company screwed you over. Absolutely should pursue the custom Rotiform wheels. They really set the build apart. While the 5 spokes look great, it feels no different than showing up with LMs or TE37s.

[@wheelbasemedia5814]

I feel your pain. Two wheel makers wasted two years of my life making promises they couldn't keep. I like the three-spoke wheels a lot, but the Rotis would be better, imo, in the cast gray than the white. For me, they distract from that lovely body rather than complement it. Great car and I appreciate your effort to build it and to share it with us here.

[@4Gunzo]

Honestly at first I wasn’t sure but you definitely made the right call with the advans. I think it looks good with the rotos but it’s probably just because you unveiled the car with them. That’s what’s keeping people from liking the advans more. Both undoubtedly look sick

[@jimhiscott2918]

Well your right about the 3 spoke. I am mortified. Honesty is my strong suit. The TE wheels are by far the best looking wheel for your application and when it comes to track duty the TE wheels can be trusted not to fail under extreme loads.

[@JamesYoung61]

I like the 5 spoke Rotiforms, back in the day many if not most race cars were running 5 spoke Dymags made in the UK, the 5 spokes are very much of the era when you saw 308/328s lining up for a road race or a rally.

I'm in the 'Rotiform' camp here, and with the support they have given you it'd be great to have a set of their wheels on the car. Maybe someone can photoshop your modern 3 spoke idea onto the car, or 3D print some, just to see it in the flesh. I do agree on cutting the Advans loose. The wheel company have fucked up so badly, they'll just be a reminder of all that pain.

(running 17x10 +30 in the rear on stockbody, and it just fits) 😅 I don't feel like the Rotiforms are a bad choise for this car, as people has mentioned, it's a timeless 5 spoke design, suits the car very well!

[@VegasMikeP229]

I have a suggested use for your Advans beside "expensive paper weights". I tried that, the rims take up too much desk space. :-) I bought four wheels in a six "double-spoke" pattern for my Benz. Looked fabulous but didn't work. I ordered the correct 5x112 spoke pattern but didn't realize I was sent 5x114.3. Bolted them on but never ran true, no surprises there. Shortly afterward I replaced them with correct 5x112 and the ride was vibration free. I used the "old" rims as an air-hose holder in my garage and three other friends garages. I cut a round 1" thick piece of wood bolted to the hub, screwed a short 4x4 to the round piece and it was cut long enough to extend past the back of the rim then lag bolted a 2x4 about 20" long to the 4x4. That 2x4 could then be screwed to the studs in the wall. VERY good looking air hose holder and quite strong!

[@kylechapman502]

In addition to all the issues you mentioned a ~2" spacer would ruin your scrub radius and likely result in the tire contacting the body. The wheels wouldn't really rotate around an axis, they would swing in a huge arc. The car would drive terribly after all the work you did on the suspension. I won't pretend that my opinion matters, and I'm sorry you don't get to run the wheels you want, but I think the white Rotiforms look great, and you already said that they drive great, so despite the disappointment and wasted time you still win. Keep up the good work, and don't let the internet's opinion drag you down!

[@Relaxiknowarchie]

I'll be the guy on the opposite side of the crowd. The Adivans would have looked incredible. Shame they didn't work.
