NSX front wheels?

The NSX front wheels starting MY 2002 were 17X7, 5X114.3. They were also forged and significantly lighter than the TSX OEMs. The only difference I can identify in size specs is centerbore: NSX front 70.1, TSX 64.1. Hub rings should be able to make these wheels hubcentric for a TSX, shouldn't they? Has anyone done this or know for certain whether or not it will work?

You'll want to check the offset as well.

I recall someone trying it and it looked pretty good, but I don't remember who.

Offset is identical, +55mm. It appears, though, that hub rings in the correct size to make these hubcentric - 70.1 outer diameter, 64.1 inner - are not common. Also, people with older NSXs that want to put on wheels from the later models have had issues with brake caliper clearance.

The NSX rims should clear the TSX rotors. All you need are the hubcentric rings. You can always have them custom-made.
