New Rims Question

[NSX2NV]

Hi all,

I've ordered a set of Blitz Tecnospeed Z2 for delivery in Sept, but saw these wheels over the weekend. They look alot like the factory wheels and I think in chrome they may look better than the blitz wheels.

Any comments, should I change my order.

Sorry heres the Blitz wheel.

I think they will look fine, with the silver finish, and polish lip....all chrome will take away some detail of the spokes- IMHO....I myself have a set of blitz03's and am perfectly happy with the finish, havent put them on the car since they are 18" all around....anyways, enjoy the "fatlip" in your rear rims!!

Blitz Technospeed Z2s baby!!!!!

Plus, Momo's in the past have been heavy. Don't know about current models.

I've had blitz o3 on for over 2 yrs and the pollished lip is a bear to keep looking good.5infatlip; how do you care for you o3's?

The Blitz look positively ghastly IMO, but to me the bigger issue is weight. Don't buy heavy wheels just because they look neat or are cheap, it's a very bad deal.

To each his own,and you are right,they weigh a ton but they are cool for boulevard pimpin,bling bling!They never see the track though and serve thier purpose well.I still need to know how to keep clear coated anodized aluminum shinning.

Blitz all the way. Compare to that Momo wheel, I would rather have my stock on. =)

Thanks for the help,

I think I'll stick to the blitz. (even though they are 3 times as much)

A good friend of mine has Blitz Type 03's on his black NSX and they look bada$$. I run HRE 547's in 17/18 and they are definitely heavier than the stock 7 spokes that came with my '94. As for the weight, just get a supercharger...screw the weight. Look good and go fast...best of both worlds!

docjohn- amazingly enough I just use windex all the time like every two days and use a old cotton t-shirt- you have to watch out for little pebbles/rocks that sometimes get stuck or else youll scratch it up nice...sometimes I use some chrome polish maybe once a month...

TampaBayNSXR- do you have pics of that blackNSX, your friends? I'd love to see it, since thats exactly what mine would look like...

however, I'm not sure if they would fit because they are off my old Rx7 and are 18" all around, although I have 18" all around right now...the offset is 44+ in the front...anyone? dont want to buy tires then the rim doesnt fit..

I have 18x8.5 with a 44mm offset in the front and they fit perfectly.
