i really dont like either wheel but if i had to choose i would go with choice 1.

 

[NetViper]

Those do look pretty good but I can't have the same wheels as another NSX in the same city. :biggrin:

That said, I think the guy who has a black one has the same wheels as I do

I don't mean to derail the thread but can you post what size wheels and tires you are running? thats quite a drop. You aren't rubbing?

18x8 + 40 215/35/18
19x10 +30 265/30/19

Yea I like my cars really low. It rubs a little when i do a full lock turn but not enough for me to raise it.

Dude I'm planning ordering a set for myself. Mine is an 03 red on tan and it's already super low. I think those wheels are super nice! Good job. Your car literally sold me on the rims...except I'll be getting mine coated gun metal or another flat shade of black

 

[butter78]

I'll post pics on the formula red thread once I do. May not coat them right away but most likely will eventually. I like dark wheels.

i feel the same way about that. im a huge wheel whore im ready for another set of wheels. i want either a set of DPE's or maybe WORK.

does the black nsx have carbon fiber rear quarter panels?

glad i could help. its funny because in the past week ive seen about 3 red nsx's say they want to get a set of RPO3's since theyve seen my car. i got a lot of better pics in the formula red thread.

Butter, those wheel will look great on your beautiful red beast. Even I am thinking about getting a set as a my go to beat up wheel. Is strange, I just spent like 20 mins looking at these wheels on google images, but for some reason diddy's set up look the best.
diddy, you car looks really really good with these wheel. I love it!

the concave in the rear is really nice on them too. im liking that black. i might paint mine eventually.

If you folks are interested in those wheels check with Wil (Angus) I really wanted to keep those wheels but they look much better on Diddy's ride than mine since his color compliments them. For a good priced wheels with an excellent rear concave and simple design the RPO's are great.

Diddy's car from stock to now looks excellent.

 

[stormrider]

Gil, I was wondering about that too. Why it looks better on red or in this case Diddy's car. I have seen these wheel on other car, not so HOT!!

This surprised me because Enkei's own spec chart only shows the 19x10 in +22 and you say these are +30.

Synergy...were these special order?

 

[Ric]

Darn me likey your wheels. Do they clear bbk ? Can someone chop diddly car in white? I think I might have found my second set of wheel.

Hey Diddy I'll definitely check out the pics on the formula red thread. Turbo2go, thanks for the heads up. I have the 2012 catalog but it only shows the silver finnish. I'll have to look into the mat black finnish with my local vendor.

You will have to get with Angus. The wheels were custom done to achieve the concave and aggressive offset. I believe they were milled down from one of Enkie previous offsets. Enkie will not have these offsets that are currently on the above ride. I know he had one more set unless they have been sold.

Only way these wheels, in Diddy's case the car has to be aggressively lowered. When my car was white they looked awesome slammed. With a gap it did not have the same sort of effect. Color plays a role, I would say white, red and black can pull off with the silver RPO3 wheel.

I'm sorry but these look like crap.

hmmm...custom sounds like extra $$$ and long wait time. I was actually thinking of going 17/18. In which case they have a 18x9.5+38 or 18x10+22 but I'm not sure +22 will work.

From the Enkei site.

Hugh, are you feeling okay? I've never known you to be sorry for any opinion you have shared. :biggrin:

OP, I agree with Hugh. Not feeling it at all. If I had to choose between only the two wheels you presented originally, I'd go with the other one. (But I don't think I'd choose either.)

No. It's close to where I live. It's not Kevin's.
