I think it look pretty good.
But I think the gunmetal color would look better on a light colored TL such as silver. Black car generally look great with lighter colored mags, such as traditional silver or chrome.

did you have to modify the backs nsx wheels in any way? the only reason i ask is that they are a 17x8.5 wheel yet they look like they "tuck" very nicely. just curious because i was thinking of going nsx 17's all the way around on my Legend

TIGHT ASS CAR!!! by the way

i think nsx4dr said he was running a set of 4 frt nsx rims. that would explain the tuck.

Nope, those are 17's in the back....No rubbing. They just bolted right on.
These wheels are just for show, I normally have 18" wheels on my car, I'm using them to get my alignment only..... .....and for the Asphalt races......

Actually, the center bore of the TL is 64.1 mm while the NSX front wheels have a center bore of 70.1mm and rear NSX wheels have a center bore of 64.1 (like the TL)....at higher speeds, I suppose you would face vibrations (like when your wheels are out of balance) even though the front wheels would bolt right on and SEEM TO FIT...unless you are using hubcentric rings in the front to compensate for the difference in center bores....I was told this by somebody in the NSX forum....

hunter001,

you are exactly right. the center hubs for the nsx fronts matches the hubs of the Legends which is 70.1 the rears however would have to be bored if I were going to get a set of the 17's oh well

If I were you, I wouldn't go for the 17's of the NSX if it needs to be modified to fit your Legend... The 16s however I believe are a lot lighter than stock Legend wheels; but they would not look that impressive I suppose..even though they would yield dividends in ride, acceleration and braking due to their lightness...I had so much hopes of putting on the NSX front wheels on my TL but since they are not a "perfect" fit, I guess I would not do it now...

I might seriously look at the S2000 front wheels (16 x 6.5) however - again with the objective of having a lighter "factory" wheel - but I need to confirm the weight of the wheels and also whether they are "forged" as opposed to "cast". One other concern with the S2000 front wheel is that they have been designed for a much lighter car with weights centered to the middle of the car; while the TL is a lot heavier....would the S2000 rims be able to withstand all that extra weight ?

The S2000 front wheels are "Cast" alloys and they weigh 17.8 lbs....so again, I might just wait and not go for these....

Keep in mind that S2000 and NSx front rims are not hub centric with other hondas....
