West coast!
I know many of you have seen my car with the Volk GTV's and I never really liked how it looked once on the car.

This new setup is something I think is dramatically BETTER....opinions?

Sneak peek from this past weekend's festivities....

The setup is an 18/18 stagger - what do you guys think? :)

My question is does the rear look too small as I was thinking about doing a 19x10" rear stagger with the current 18" fronts....

My co-pilot "hanging" around:

This looks REALLY good. But I'm on the fence as to which ones look better. The GTV setup you have also looks awesome. But then again, which NSX doesn't look good with GTV's? Their will probably be some critics that will say that BBS LM's and GTV's are "played out," but in "real life" (vs the internet), I hardly ever see either wheel (but Cali could be different... LOL!). As far as going with 19's in the rear... not sure if the price justifies the look. This looks pretty good IMO.
 
Looks nice Rick. Judging by the narrow lip, they must fit BBK? Definitely go 19's in the rears so it will have the aggressive stance.

The 18" rear definitely looks too small as you can see in the photo that it appears smaller than the front.
I too think the GTV look better but perhaps the LM will look much better after you change the rears to 19s.

hahaha, you just made my day Mike....and yes James, I agree!

I love the LM setup and look but those rears really bug me. I heard the 19's hare super hard to source/buy so keepin my eyes open. If you guys see any 19's in any color just let me know ASAP!

the 18" rear is just a temporary solution till I can hunt down the 19" rear :biggrin: (for now I just have to make sure photos are focused on the front wheel for now)
 
Looks awesome Rick. But I must say.. to go this far and then not put 19's on the rear would be a shame.
BBS > GTV's :wink:
 
Woooooow!!!!!!! like i said in another topic i like them so much more!!!!! 2 sets of Volks that just about every NSXer has...glad u made that number come down!!!!

I do think the 19's in the back would make it look better just because the front end would be a bit lower! Stance would be perfect!
 
NO DOUBT I want a pair of 19" rears and at this point I'm not picky on what color to buy since I can have it refinished....but for now I'll "live" with the 18s since I have to allocate my budget to some mods for my new summer toy!
