Option 2, I placed my order w/ Vic today. Regarding the offsets, I'm wondering if you had to specify them or did you go w/ what Vic stocks. Apparently, I didn't have to specify offsets b/c Vic said the offsets he stocks are NSX specific. However, I went back into the picture archives & discovered that Si had an rubbing issue w/ a +44 offset, but was able to resolve this w/ a +43 offset. Meaning that there is in fact at least two offset choices for the rear. Can I trust this guy Vic? Hopefully my set up will be identical to yours since yours offsets look tight! BTW, if this place is close to you, any chance you can pay Vic a visit & make sure the offsets he sends me are the same as yours before he actually ships? I have a feeling that once I get them & if the offset is wrong, it's going to be tough to deal w/ him as he isn't the friendliest salesperson.

Thanks,
Eddie

I agree about Vic. Shady guy.

Eddie,

You won't have to worry about the offset issue. Thanks to Si, Vic now knows that +44 won't work.

When I asked Vic about offsets, he knew to send me +41 and +43. I wouldn't mind at all to go see Vic to make sure you get the right wheels, but I live in Northern Cali and he is located in Southern Cali.

Thanks Option 2. I spoke to Vic this morning, & apparently, he does know now exactly what willl work on the NSX & he is in fact sending me 41 & 43. He tried to represent himself as an NSX guru & that he knew it all along, giving credit to himself & not mentioning the incident w/ Si. Anyway, I just hope I get the darn center caps I paid for, since he mentioned that they would be avaible in a day or two when I ordered & that they would be shipped at the same time. And hopefully he won't overcharge my credit card! I'll keep my fingers crossed. I hope to post pics next week!

Just a reminder that most of the aftermarket wheels are not hub-centric. Normally they make them bigger to accomodate different hubs sizes.

In order to make them hub-centric, you'd need to buy a set of rings that have the outside diameter that matches the wheels and the inside diameter that matches the hubs on your car. Other wise, the weigh of the car is resting on the studs... not good.

Check FAQ for the hub size on the nsx. I forget.

Vick sells the wheels with the hub rings included in the price.
