The 2023 Honda Civic Type R's coolest feature is a $25 bike part
And the idea came from Honda's motorcycles, but after spending some time admiring one in person, the new hot hatch's standout feature is one that lays flat. Yep, I'm referring to its trick, 90-degree valve stems. Take one glance at the wheels and it's impossible to miss them; they stand out with their silver finish against the dark satin void of the barrels.
At first, I assumed it had something to do with the wheel's internal sensor. Yeah, even wheels have sensors these days. Tire pressure monitoring systems often employ a small, battery-powered sensor connected to the valve stem inside the tire, and the Type R's low-profile tires and thin wheels may have presented a greater-than-normal impact potential if the sensor happens to sit too proud of the wheel. PR folks.
If you're like me and you've ever handled tech at an autocross or track event, you may be just as enthused by this as I am. Trying to check pressures on a car with somebody's $10,000 set of mesh wheels poking at your knuckles is a nerve-racking experience. This setup provides tons of clearance while allowing Honda to mount the valve stem well inboard of the wheel edge, maximizing internal clearance too.
