Ok so i get that it is important to have the right wheel setup on the NSX as it's unsprung weight etc.
But why are 19's seen as a no no usually? is it the size or is it they normally weigh more? Surely 1" would make much different as from a size prospective as you would run a lower profile making it still similar size of a 18" rim with a bigger profile tyre.
So is it a weight thing why 19s are a bit of a no no?
Ok lets say i could find a 19x10" rim which is lighter or about the same weight as the stock 17" rim would that be ok? or still a problem cos its a 19" rim.
Also i guess bigger rim means bigger tyre which weighs more than the smaller one would on a stock rim.
Can someone explain this a little more please. The above are my own thoughts i am thinking along the right lines? put me right where needed.. Just trying to understand how it works.
As ideally i would like a 18/19 setup but if it really matters of course i will go for a 17/18 setup. I want my car looking how i want but i am also ver performance driven.
