Buddy, as I was walking to my car after leaving The Improv to head home after a GREAT Toy Rally, I noticed something wasn't quite right with your car. Then it clicked! The wheels! What the hell happened? Did some Nismo Fanboi steal your beautiful factory wheels and swap them with his crappy looking 5 spoke nightmares from Hell? Seriously now........... How did these ugly ass, pitiful excuses for wheels end up on your gorgeous car? I almost puked up my lunch!

Really? You think they are ugly? I think they are cool. The only thing I would complain about is the size of the wheel.
 

Really!

You think they are ugly?

Actually I think ugly is a compliment. You have to see them in person to really appreciate their hideousness.

I think they are cool.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I respect your opinion.

The only thing I would complain about is the size of the wheel.

What size(s) would you prefer? You'd be amazed at what's possible with a 3D printer and a chunk of aluminum. :)
 
Hugh,

Let's see... 250 exotic cars, 6 or 7 gorgeous ladies (man was THAT a disappointment), 1,005,000 miles of NSX's in a row and all you could share a photo of was... Oscar's wheels?!?

How about this shot of an overpriced Celica?

Poor Oscar.

Oscar is doing just fine. Don't feel sorry for him, feel sorry for his car! :)
 
His new wheels are nice. But like someone else said in another thread he almost won the nicest red NSX Prime poll thread with the other wheels.....and well.....why mess with a good thing?

I think his car still looks good but the wheels completely changed the look.

I have been looking for another set of wheels. Maybe I will get some 02 wheels, paint them gunmetal and change my screen name to "West Coast Oscar".
 
It looks common now. Was lots better before.
more common these days, yes.. but it's one of those wheels that doesn't really get old imho unlike many others like ROJA or even HREs and early Volks. I like these better than the OEM 02+ for sure. It's what the car should have came with.

Flame on! :)
 
The reason why alot of primers like Oscar's 2002+ wheel look is because a vast majority of them are pre-02 owners. I'm going to guess many of them are forum lurkers who are fairly conservative and/or stock.
I agree. Oscars car looked great but the wheels were stock. I dont love the new wheels but they are not ugly by any means.
 
I think those wheels rock...

for heaven sake... what did the other wheels look like!!!

did angels sing when you looked at them or something?... did each wheel come with it's own stripper? were they solid gold with diamond trim? were they made of unicorn horn?

Just saw this!

You know I LOVE my 02+ ... but I needed to refresh my car!

And I don't regret, I'd say, let me GuMetal this one day and see what you think! :D

I miss the GM look don't get me wrong!

But I am happy with the change, now people actually stop and take photos of the car 2 times more than before, is CRAZY!

Are you flippin' kidding me here??? The ADVANs all the way!!! The silver looks totally spot on. Like I said, should have came from the factory this way.

Make room on the Model 5 bandwagon. I'm coming aboard!

I don't usually get caught up in the styles of everybody's cars, but since this is such a hot topic and involves good ol' Oscar, I do have this to say, lol.

The AVS Model 5 looks good and works well with Oscar's car (and I would just like to interject about how everbody calls these ADVANs, but there is a difference between AVS versus ADVAN Racing wheels, granted they're both made by Yokohama, so just a little nit-picky item from me).

And yes, the '02+ wheels are stock, but I would consider Oscar's gunmetal '02+ wheels far from being conservative.

Compared to the Model 5s, the gunmetal '02+ wheels are very aggressive looking. The Model 5s I would say are more classy, but does completely change the look of Oscar's car.

I feel like the aggressive gunmetal '02+ wheels fit the character of Oscar's car the best and complete it, whereas the Model 5s tone it down.

This is all subjective, of course. And either way Oscar's car always looks good, so props to him (and I'm glad he's keeping his '02+ wheels).
 
I still like the new wheels better than the old ones. The silver really brightens up the red paint and makes the car look much better. I say, good job Oscar!
