Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) is releasing its first line of retail performance parts. They go on sale next March, allowing Honda and Acura owners to upgrade their vehicles with pieces ripped from the track.
The initial line will include upgrades for the Honda Passport, Honda Pilot, Honda Civic Type R, and Acura Integra Type S. Jon Ikeda, HRC US’s senior vice president, said:
‘Our new HRC Performance Parts are designed and developed by HRC engineers with the same attention to detail given to our championship-winning race cars, both on and off-road. HRC Performance Parts will elevate the driving experience wherever our customers take their Honda and Acura vehicles – on the road, to the track and on the trail.’
At this year’s SEMA Show, HRC will showcase prototypes of future parts, including a six-piston Brembo brake kit, a short-throw shifter, and adjustable coilovers with camber plates. But until those upgrades become real products, you can buy these products instead.
One of HRC’s first retail products is a set of 19-inch wheels for the Honda Civic Type R and Acura Integra Type S. HRC developed them in partnership with 2elle engineering, the wheel supplier for the Acura ARX-06.
The wheels measure 10 inches wide, 0.5 inches wider than stock, and weigh 20.8 pounds, or 5.5 lbs less than OEM. The wheels also have a 55-millimeter offset, 5 mm more than stock.
The wheels are available in gray or bronze. They fit 2023 and newer Civic Type Rs and 2024 and newer Integra Type Ss.
