I haven't seen a zanardi NSX in person, and haven't seen any really good pics of the zanardi NSX. I was wondering whether you feel that these wheels look good. Any pics would be great. Thanks in advance.

What is your opinion of the zanardi BBS wheels?

The wheel design is very nice, but I think the color is too dark.

The wheels have a metalflake paint that makes them stand out more in bright light.
I have gotten several positive comments but...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

This is Norm's car (I get access since he is my Dad) this is a 94' equipped w/ Zanardi's. I have more pictures posted in NSXSC.com under forums, pictures of cars and owners section, and in the forums section of this web site, check out "Street Credit" in the forums here at NSXPrime.

Personally, I don't like them. I'm more a fan of a basic spoked wheel. I really like those Advans (M7) that are on Marcs NSX.

Lots of spokes = pain in the butt to wash.
Opinion...... yuck. bland, racey.... demolition car look as with those Techno 7's or whatever they are.... wheels should shine, not look like a stock car.

Personally, I like the 7 spoke style the best. but the finished on the Zanardi wheels I like the best. I think it really give racey looks not ricey. Of course, looks are personal prefference.
Me, myself, hate those chrome *bling-bling* looks on wheels. Just like I hate those big gold chain necklace looks. again, it's all personal preference and learn to respect that.

Wheels are ok. Problem is, the offset is so far in (like any stock wheel on the NSX) rather being flush with the fender - a big plus when going with aftermarket wheels IMO. Not to mention... they are pricey ;-)

Zanardi's are not very photogenic, I would lay part of the blame for the "Bland" look on the quality of the photo,the metal flake finish really shines in the sunlight (once again this is just my opinion). As for the offset, part of the reason for going with these wheels was that they had stock fitment, and thus would not cause tire wear problems with the also stock suspension. Everyone seems to be looking for something different in their car,I think these wheels give the car more of a "I mean business look", like F1 race cars. Once again beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The big win with the Zanardi wheels is that they are over 2 lbs. (each) lighter than the stock wheels in the exact same configuration. That's rotating, unsprung weight... Here's a URL of Z wheels on another Z:

my TE-37s are more than 2lbs lighter per wheel in bigger size
However, I do like the Zarnardi wheels very much!

I personally think they're fantastic and they or Type-S's are going to look really great on my NSX one day.
14 year bump! Bam!

I wish I were around when Major Stoner was still around. Some of his old posts are hee-larious, thought provoking, and/or kind of scary.

By the way - the line for Type-S or Zanardi wheels forms behind me, just sayin'.

Funny how we have a conversation about this and then you go post hunting.
