As many of you know I've had this car forever and it has been through many stages. I decided to go a different route most recently... I've been driving the car alot lately so thought going with an oem-like setup would be optimal. Still have the CCW's and all the Advan Model 5's though :biggrin:
I've been in search for 02-05 wheels for quite a while, and thanks to arista5 for giving me the heads up on the NSX-R Reps in the for sale section!!
I was able to score them and ordered brand new Yokohama S-Drives in 02-05 factory sizes: 215/40-17 and 255/40-17
Unfortunately the center caps were destroyed in shipping, but I test fit and ordered a full set of AP2 S2000 center caps which fit like OEM. I will be painting them to match and adding logos.
I also have 15mm front spacers and 25mm rear spacers I considered using, although these are more aggressive than regular 02-05 NSX wheels. They have just been refinished and completely change the look.
I am torn whether to leave them gunmetal, or refinish the wheels in championship white?
Some recent pics with the NSX-R rep gunmetals:
Couple pictures before I dropped the Tein's back down and detailed the car...
