Hi guys,

I have loved these cars since they came out, and finally had one drop into my lap last August.

NSX Prime name: Finnor

Rim size f/r: 18x7.5 / 19x9.5

BBK? if so brand: n/a
Spacers needed f/r: no
Extended lugs? f/r: no

If you could re-order your current set-up, what would you change? Name brand tires, but these aren't bad... Also lower it a bit. Maybe go with a 17/18 set up, but I can't complain.

Yes, buy and install aftermarket suspension like KW's V3 first. As far as suggesting a wheel that is based entirely on budget and what style wheel you like. There's lots of wheel in the thread, the decision is yours to make.

Good luck

Most people are running 17/17, but there are a few lucky bastards running 17x8 +35 & 18x9.5 +35

Anyone get new wheels in the last couple years and would like to post pics?

I got the bad news today - cracked rim on one of my 5zigen super six wheels. Unfortunately they no longer make them. Looking at pictures of wheels without seeing them on the car is tough for me to imagine. Thanks guys.

 

[robbiedawg]

i got some new wheels recently,don't believe i have posted them in this thread,so here goes-

NSX Prime name- robbiedawg
year NSX- 95
Rim brand, and type- Volk CE-28N
rim size f/r- 17x7.5,18x9.5
rim offset f/r- +43,+40
tire size f/r- 215/40,265/35
BBK? if so brand- no
spacers needed f/r- no
extended lugs? f/r- no
lowered? with what setup?- yes,with tein s-tech springs,which lower you about .67"f,1"r, and zanardi shocks
front tire rubbing? inside/outside- no
tire rubbing rear?- no
if you could re-order your current set-up, what would you change? i might think about doing these volks in 16/17 for crazy lightness,although iirc there are none that work in 16/17,but i really like what i have,these are absolutely beautiful wheels,and some of the lightest wheels you can get for an nsx. you pay a premium for that,but i didn't want to upsize and add weight.with these,you save about 4 lb. per corner.

Hey guys (first time poster) bringing this back from the dead. I'm going to order a set of volk ce's for my stock suspension nsx. Ultimately I plan on having it lowered on kw v3's in a manner where I can kept the camber controlled to the 91 alignment specs (-.5 front / -1.5 rear) while running the popular tire size of 215 in the front and 255 in the rear. But for now I'm going to get the wheels on order.
before I do so I was wondering if you guys guys could comment on my choice of wheel size:
front being 17x8.5+45. I'm confident that will fit well and if need be I can run a spacer to help get the wheel off the inner portion of the wheel well I am fine with doing that.
Rear being 18x9.5+35 I was wondering if you guys have an idea of how much that will stick out of the fender well. I looked through this thread and saw lower offsets make the wheels poke out a bit which I am not trying to do. What do you guys think? Alternative sizing for the rear would be the same but with a 45 offset so I guess it's a 35 vs 45 question. I would rather run the +35 in the rear but I want it to remain flush and not have a weird poking stance to it.
