Ok, seriously guys :smile:

I'll play. Mine are:

• Volk GT-V in 18/19 on 02+ facelifted cars
• HRE 542R with BBK on Pre-Facelift Cars
• Hamann PG2/PG3 Wheels on either pre-facelift or facelifted cars

My top picks only consider aesthetics and not the multitude of other aspects of wheel selection. I've also added qualifiers as to what really sets off the looks, in my opinion. My runner up will be Tecnomagnesios and my second runner up would be HP Evo/Lightning. To me, the best combination of handsome looks, lightweight/performance, sizing/widths, offsets/fitment, hubcentric, exotic (Italiano!) is the Tecnomagnesio.

Couldnt agree more. Great picks

My top three are:

1) Advans AVS Model 5's - MikeC_587

2) Work Meister's S1 - striker525

3) BBS LM's - s4play

Side Note: The size for all three choices would be in 18-19's. :biggrin:

You and I have identical taste. These are my top 3 also.

If an aftermarket wheel doesn't do what an aftermarket wheel is supposed to do I don't care how "sexy" it looks.
Light weight and strength do it for me.
Thats the beauty.

Volk TE37 in Magnesium; $$$$$ !
Volk CE28 and now RE30 are great values.

But my favorite is the "old school" Technomagnesio.
Almost 20 years later and still relevant.
A Timeless classic.

I agree with you, tecnomagnesios are probably the best all around wheel for the NSX ever. There is a reason comptech used to sell them along with all their other enhancements for the car. Everything they made is still essentially the best you can get for the NSX. That's why I am hoarding tecnomagnesios Right now, I have 3 sets! Keep an eye on the for sale section though...

 

[nsxot1c]

Tough one for me... In no particular order.

1) Advans AVS Model 5 18/19 - MikeC_587

2) CCW Classic 18/18 - Nsxot1c

3) Te 37 18/19 - Synth19

 

[Osiris_x11]

contenders...

FWIW...

Yoko's Advan AVS Model-5's in the '02+ OEM size of 17x7/17x9 weigh noticeably less than their stock counterparts in same-size. Not too shabby for being a "cast" alloy wheel (low-pressure/spun fabrication?). I recall 2.0lbs-2.5lbs. difference per-wheel compared to the (presumably) forged '02+ OEM BBS 17/17. The fella's at Gruppe-S knew a fair bit about the finer points & details w/ regards to OEM & after-market JDM wheels, so lots of my concerns & curiosities were reasonably addressed.

Strength/durability wise, I'd rate 'em on par w/ the '91-'93 phat'fivez which are a rather robust alloy wheel.

Size choice for me was simple: tire selection/availability/cost; maintain stock feel/balance & stance/appearance ('02+ NSX wheel size, '02+ NSX-R offsets); not fear potholes & road-hazards.

Anywayz...

Anyone ever seen Zanardi/Type-S wheels on a Berlina Black NSX? That's something I'm curious about! I've seen them on Formula Bed, New Formula Red, Sebring Silver, Brooklands Green. My primaries are the Model-5's, for backups I'm considering the BBS 16/17 Zanardi/Type-S, '94-'01 OEM 16/17, '02-'05 OEM 17/17, or Tecno 17/17 | 17/18. Can't use my '91-'93 OEM 15/16's due to '97+ brake-swap & gonna sell (sooner-or-later) my Volk SE37k 17/18 bronze/polished-lip set.

LM's
CE28's
02+

Those are the only alternatives I would ever consider for the 94-01's. There are some seriously downright hideous wheels in this thread. (TE's excluded)
