Beautiful shots! Your NSX and mine look identical (also 92 and lowered) except my white wheels are 5 spoke Dymags.
Must say you have great taste!

Such a clean look.

Looks great what springs did you go with.

Neuspeed, despite all the negative's I heard about them. I feel like the ride and comfort may have deteriorated maybe 10%... I am very happy with the results. The camber correction was quite a hassle, but its done and looking/handling fantastic

Thanks ilya... I have been trying to get around to painting the wheels for quite sometime now, but this weekend I finally had a break from working, and I buckled down and just did it... It is SUCH a clean look, I could not be happier... here is a shot of the car before the white wheels, just to give you an idea.

Powdercoating them white makes all the difference in the world. One negative, they have been getting dirty VERY quickly. I find myself wiping them off all the time.

Are those red calipers? I haven't done mine yet, but have purchased the paint. I've been debating whether to go through with it or not. How does it look with red under white?

Ill have some closer pictures of the red calipers behind the white tomorrow. As for calipers, my only advice is this, "PUT THE PAINT CAN DOWN, AND STEP AWAY FROM IT"... get them powdercoated... ive seen SO many cars with painted calipers... they ALL have a brake dust problem, that seems incurable. Mine are powder, and a simple stream of water makes them look brand new. NOTHING sticks to them.

both cars look sweet, the type r look is defently the way to go when you have a white nsx. the only thing i would do is paint the roof white(to get rid of the 92' look)

That is actually my next task... Ive asked everyone's opinion from forum members, to family members, and its 50/50 with everyone... so i'm gonna be the deciding factor here...

Thanks for your compliments though... much appreciation

Yea, white with white looks great. By how much did you lower? Don't know if it's cause it's on the grass but that thing looks like it's resting on the ground. Nice looking car. Like I said, I think white with white looks so damn good...but I'd hate to have to keep up with the cleaning to keep it looking good.

I think black top contrasts nicely with the white body/rims. As it is now there is a good balance from the top being black and the wheels black. If you painted the top I think it would put the car off balance IMO. Up to you though =)

Awesome look! Very impressive. Interesting to see the different characteristics that come through the different colors.

White / Elegant & Sophisticated
Black / Stealthy & Evil

NSXBRLA,

I think with your windows tinted, it looks very good the way it is. If your car still have the original paint, I'd think that it'd retain it's value better with the original paint job.

If you do end up painting it, make sure you take before and after pics and a receipt to show that the repaint was done just for cosmetic reasons and not from an accident.

I am defintely a fan of white wheels. On both my first NSX and my current one I've had white wheels.

 

[Mantra]

How did you solve the camber problem ???

 

[Frank Oles]

NSXnBRLA -

Very nice car. I'd say leave the roof black. Your car looks perfect.

My question... Did you paint or powdercoat the wheels?

I've had mixed results with powdercoating. I've had a pair of valve covers powdercoated and a bicycle frame. It is a very durable finish, and to clean all you do is hose it off (usually w/o soap) but it's not really as smooth as paint. When you do get a chip, it's also usually serious, like a crater.

I'd be interested to hear people's experiences with paint/powdercoat on wheels.

 

[dswartz]

I'm also a fan of white wheels. They seem to work on any color car.
