Honda Civic Type-R On EC-7 Wheels At Donnington Park

We were beyond excited to finally photograph our customer Razi’s (@razi.fk8) 2018 Honda Civic Type R. It was an added bonus that we caught up with Razi at his track day at one of the world’s foremost race circuits, beautiful Donington Park in the United Kingdom. This well sorted FK8 didn’t disappoint featuring a square setup of our 18×9.5″ et43 EC-7 wheels in satin black. This particular wheel spec is not a direct fit, requiring 64.1mm to 72.56mm hub centric rings (available on our store), while providing a perfect flush fitment without any spacers. The EC-7 makes an excellent durable, lightweight option and clear the large Brembo brakes. We hope you enjoy the photos from this historic racing venue.

Matt became the JDM Product Expert at APEX Wheels in 2022. Prior to joining APEX, he worked extensively in automotive sales. As an enthusiast he made the shift from street driving to track driving in order to fully experience his cars at the limit without putting the public at risk. Matt has owned six Hondas (‘94 Integra LS, ‘95 Integra RS, ‘96 Integra GS-R, ‘06 RSX Type-S, ‘95 Civic VX, ‘17 Civic EX-T), two Subarus (‘15 Impreza, ‘22 BRZ), and is likely shopping for the next addition to his stable. When he’s not helping JDM owners figure out the best wheel setups for their cars, he enjoys playing racing video games and indulging his interest in automotive photography. Fun fact: Matt knows every quotable line in The Fast and the Furious by heart.
