A car with the $9400 optional wheels

[Bricks and Bio]

It looks like Fountain Acura popped the nasty looking $9400 wheels on their car.

During one of our conversations, the NSX Specialist asked my opinion on these.

My opinion is they look like sheet, who care about applied (non structural CF asked on) and the price is nuts.

Nothing at the link, but I have to agree about the wheels. The Source Silver that my dealer just received was ordered with the Y-spoke wheels and the new owner purchased the interwoven wheels with the carbon fiber insert things for ~ $10k or whatever. I prefer the Y-spokes; less convoluted, more racey.

i guess they're ok if you're not going to track the NSX (most wont). they dont provide enough cooling for the brakes.

that has ALL the options, PLUS all the accessories! geebus.

"[FONT=&quot]This 2017 NSX is Casino White and has every single upgrade, including the Accessory forged wheel set, Illuminated door sill trim carbon-fiber, suede floor and trunk mats, cargo cover, cargo net, wheel locks, and battery charger kit. This NDX also..." [/FONT]new suv, the NDX?[FONT=&quot]

those wheels are asymmetrical, (rights and lefts). The other optional wheels are not.

Those blade wheels look odd to me - they look like they will appear to be going backwards when driven. (is it too cruel to say they remind me of the swastika?)
I don't much like the interwoven design, from the pictures I have seen - perhaps they look better in the metal?
Stick to the Y-wheels, by far the classiest, IMHO.

Wow, those are certainly some interesting wheels. I wonder how rare those will be in 20 years time.

^ Not even worthy. You've got no taste if you spend that kind of money on those wheels.

Very very rare. More so than Zanardi wheels are now.If you're thinking like a collector, it'd be smart to buy a set (never mount them of course because they look awful) and keep them for 20 years.

imo they look like suv dubs or spinners...too heavy looking for a sports car.

Agreed. I'll bet they'll be prized at that point too, as they'll represent the 2016 version of what "futuristic" looked like.

If I had the money, I'd buy the whole supply as a public service just to keep them off the road.

These wheels will be off the car very soon. I believe Ben the owner of Wheels Boutique in Miami bought this car.

The wheels look like a fancier version of Neeper wheels from 90's. What a missed opportunity to make a great looking wheel. Just looks like chrome origami to me with carbon wraps.
