Well, I think price is always a factor. You have to ask yourself, do you want new OEM 16/17 wheels? or used ones? If you want new OEM wheels I will suggest maybe going aftermarket. New OEM wheels costs a lot. It is at least $4,000 for just wheels alone from the dealer, but Dali Racing has it at a cheaper price (but still expensive). I recently replaced my 16/17 wheels with a 17/18 Volk TE-37s. I got the set for $2,010 and the Bridgestone Potenza's was around $900 a set. There are many good used NSX OEM wheels circulating around, most of them are already mounted with OEM tires. Personally I really like the OEM look, but after I lowered my car the 16/17 wheels just looked too small. I needed something that would fill up the fender gap. Hope this helps.
