He already has a different set of wheels in the works... :biggrin:

honda would never but lamborghini has been doing it for a while

I'd hate to know how much you have wrapped up in your car in total. The interior job Ravi did is a thing of beauty. I wish Honda sent them out like that from the factory.

 

[myw]

no way which wheels?!??!

lol please tell me advan model 5 with specs

8 inch wide in front +30
10 inches rear +25

hehe

joking aside gils could really rock 17/18 or 18/19 advan avs 5 silver finish (synth19 style).

Mike I have redone everything myself on the car minus the corner balancing, alignment and the interior alcantara.

It is a 1991. Only thing the car is missing is the six spd conversion and the ABS update.

 

[myw]

WOW.

dont ever sell it!

3.2 L conversion or original c30?

Me too Gil, I want to see them in person. Too bad in live in Austin, I will have to wait til the 2012 NSX TX GTG. :biggrin::biggrin:

 

[synergy004]

I live between Austin and Waco near Killeen. I plan on attending the cars and coffee then follow up the month after to Dallas for their cars and coffee. I have a few trips to take prior to doing another detail on the car lol.

The engine is a C30 engine sleeved, stroked and built to a 3.8 :biggrin:

Waiting on the OEM decals for the jams and under the hood to complete that like it was made that way look.

SSR wheels are being sent out to get refinished. Installed the ESM wheels for now to retain weekend seat time.I am still trying to get use to this look also.

 

[myw]

Which ssr wheels?!? Good call staying away from the bbs lm look.

While I think those wheels look clean with the NSx I feel that your color and exterior can warrant a much more aggressive looking wheels.

10 inches rear +25

joking aside gils could really rock 17/18 or 18/19 advan avs 5 silver finish (synth19 style).

I do have other 2 wheel choices I am deciding on, to finally stick with. In my eyes I am still not convinced with the SSR wheels or the ESM wheels relieves my view of how the car should be. I know I can do better lol.

The ADVAN model 5's are one of the choices, the other is a concave wheel custom built brushed center, polished lip. I want to keep the drop gap to a minimum maximizing the overall look.

I do like 17/18 but unless they are OEM 02+ wheels (17/17) I won't rock that size. It makes the car look lower and longer which I like. I will stick with 18/19's and fill the gap.

 

[thoangbui]

Oh man... I personally like the replica BBS LM. It looks sick with the car. Color combo is on point. But concaves look outstanding if your wallet is full! looking at your car makes with me want go back to stock. >:biggrin:

 

[myw]

do you have a picture of the ssr wheels?

Had some free time so I messed around with the wheels and Plasti Dip.

I didn't tape anything up I just sprayed on. Experimenting was fun. I did try the gold metalizer and was not feeling the look so I went with two coats of silver and one final spray misting it to even it out.

Tip for the tires to get all the unwanted plasti dip off, I used duck tape and pulled.
