Anyone else out there that likes OEM spec wheels best?

Oh I love these 15'/16'. I have a set in my garage and will try them when my tires get worn out. With 25 / 40 mm spacers, it will look awesome.

Here is a pic of the 16'/17' with 15 / 30 mm spacers :

I can't see the picture [MENTION=12617]asylum[/MENTION], but I agree that the 15/16 OEM wheels will look great with the 25 / 40 mm spacers. I have the 15 / 40 spacers but wish I had the 25 up front.

It's funny but it seems like all of the non-NSX owners I have met like the OEM 15/16" wheels. It's only the majority of NSX owners that don't.

At this point with most of the older cars passing through 4, 5, 6 owners now, the small original wheels are long gone or collecting dust in storage. Probably most owners have never driven with good tires mounted on these smaller wheels, which is too bad....

Imho if you stiffen the suspension say beyond oem R specs then the use of 17/17 or 17/18 low profile tires on as light as possible wheels can improve track times...but as a street driven car the feel/smoothness is improved with the higher profile smaller diameter wheels as originally intended.

Removed the white plastidip on the '02 wheels, mounted new tires, then sprayed with Rustoleum's graphite plastidip. It reflects light because of the mixed-in glitter

I was never a fan of dark wheels, but I'll give these a try for awhile:

A bit off-topic but my initial feedback on these Pirelli PZero Nero GT tires is positive. For a 280 treadwear tire they are responsive and very quiet (two of my top required attributes to go on these wheels).
