What kind of wheel is this?

[Lud]

Someone e-mailed me asking what the aftermarket wheels on the NSX on the main page of the website are. I know I've seen them before, but I'm not much of a wheel guy.

Those look like Blitz Technospeed Z1

Those 2 yellow nsx's look like they're different shades of yellow..... the one in the foreground being the spa yellow pearl and the one in the background as some sort of caution-orange/yellow color....

anyone else notice this?

I think that's just the lighting and/or the quality of the reproduction process. For example, the closer one looks like it has a greenish cast to it that isn't true of Spa Yellow in person.

BTW, I think the wheels are the stock ones used since '97. ...or did you mean the ones on the car in the foreground?

I'm not much of a wheel guy either. Maybe it's just the picture but they look to be of the oblong variety

probably due to the shift in color of the yellow. If the car was the correct yellow I'm sure they would be of the circular variety.

You ask a serious question and what do you get? A bunch smartNsx answers because we have no idea.

This are: Blitz Technospeed Z1 Silver/Black Bolts.

I already installed those on my car, the only difference is that mines are lower offset than those, therefore the outer lip is a lot bigger, and on the front wheel, the center is inwards instead of outwards, like the one on the picture, I will post some pics this weekend.

Thanks for the help on the wheels.

Re: color - I think the main problem is just the lighting or the photo itself. However, the car in the foreground looks like yet another early-coupe-repainted-yellow to me, though it's hard to be positive with such low resolution.

Seems to be the same car.. and is a coupe.

The Blitz Z-1 comes in at almost 26 lb. I would consider that to be quite heavy in weight. Is 26 lb/wheel a concern to any of you?

Pronto3000, any comments?

26 lbs....boat anchor

Re color. The opposite of your assumption is true. The one in the background is Spa Yellow and the one in the foreground is a repainted older model......

I would like to know if the gentleman to the far left can fit in the NSX?

 

[nsxtasy]

Yes, but only in the NSX-T with the top off.
