First to set the record straight I never doubted or disputed what the OP stated about the performance of smaller tires/wheels vs. what I’m running now. I’m sure if I put my OEM 17’s back on the car my car will drive quicker but I love the current stance of my car since I built my not for the track but for show/daily driving. If he wants those rims mainly for performance then great! But it’s definitely no looker that’s for sure.
Actually I drove my VERY first NSX way back in 1992 with the fat fives, I was still a sophomore in H.S. and my dad’s business partner at the time just bought a red NSX. This was how my love affair started with this car….hehehe – he handed me the keys and told me to take it for a spin. I was HOOKED ever since and this is why I tell people owning an NSX has been a 15+ year dream in the making!
I remember the NSX I drove back then felt very raw and definitely not as refined as my current 04 car. The driving position and sound of the car was so WAY ahead of it’s time though since you have to remember back in 1992, there was really not many cars like this one. I loved everything about the car but have to admit I knew very little about modified cars as I was still in my ricer days. Mitsubishi introduced the 3000GT VR4 a few years later and that was my dream car along with the MKIV Supra! Of course all of those cars were way out of my price range back then.
Anyways no disagreement with OP and me and no argument here! 15/16 or as you guys call it the Fat Fives is great if you are a performance oriented / track guy. I’m more of a show/daily driver type so my 18/18 or 18/19 setup works just as good for me. I push my car pretty hard and no rubbing on my setup either.
