Hello All.
I recently became owner of Type R LE(2020). I read multiple discussions about changing wheels & Tires. Is it recommended?
If so can you point me towards where I can find Good and not so expensive wheels and tires Please?
Also Are there any things do you recommend that I should add apart from Wheels & Tires?
Thank You.!

Welcome and congrats on your new purchase! Feel free to add your badge number (Ex: USA-XXX) to your profile.
What are your use cases and budget. "Inexpensive" to a single male might not be
inexpensive to a parent of two.
Your use cases will help us offer tire input, as tires that are better for daily driving do not meet the needs of tracking, etc. Check out this thread we've built here:

That's a tough question to answer, mostly because you asked for best "and" inexpensive, and not simply for the "best inexpensive" wheels for an LE CTR.
Given that the LE's suspension is specifically tuned for the lighter stock 20" BBS wheels, I'd either get another spare set of the stock OEM wheels, or an equivalent forged 20" BBS wheel with the same stock offset (+60 I believe).
Tires, needed as well.
Maybe a nice summer tire that can be driven in the rain when needed or necessary (or all season depending on the owners location/weather/etc.)
P.S. I'd keep the car as stock as possible, ...you can thank me later. ; )
