Lol I hope to be down to three at some point. I'm working on getting it down to 4 right now. Just don't have time to sale prep the one I'm trying to let go.
Lucked out so much man. They look great. I would love to have more than one set to swap around too. Except I barely have space in my garage for 2 cars. One bay is all car parts lol....

Were you planning to keep these for track uses? If so, i say do something crazy... track is where you can show off crazy stuff...
If you are gonna use em for your day to day, i would personally keep it on the DL

I will probably run them from about early to mid April to mid October to early November. As long as the low temps are above 40-45 degrees basically. If I do any mountain trips or track days after that I will just swap them on. So I would say they will be on the car for 2/3 to 3/4 of the year. The rest of the year I will run tires that are better suited for being used in the colder weather.

Grabbed some outdoor shots today as I took the car to work for the day since it was nicer weather for the first time in a week. Have to try and get in at least one day of driving this thing every week if possible.

I vote to leave them as is, they flow really well with the car.
If they were a limited use/track wheelset, I'd go for something more wild.
But, I'm a boring & like to keep it simple.

Agreed. The fit great. The front tire will end up a little wider with the new rubber cause they run wide. Then the rear I need to decide do I go with a narrower 265 tire with a 5mm spacer to keep fitment as most of the track guys suggest for the rear so you stay at a 50mm difference between front and rear for best handling. The other options is end up with not as good of handling but go with a 275 rear for the perfect fitment look.

Current tires are 285 in the rear though. So 265 is going to be smaller. Hoping the Dunlop Direzza turly do run almost a full size wider than a regular tire.
Really would love to go with some 8mm wider fenders so I can run a 245/35/17 up front and a 275/35/18 rear. The car would stick like glue.

Wheel color is PERFECT. I love it! Much better than before.
(Edit) And after looking further, any thoughts on cleared or blacked out side markers? Could make the side flow even better. Not that it looks bad or anything now.

Thanks. They are continuing to grow on me. Hoping to get the car washed Friday so I can see how they look a clean black car finally.
The ones on it are already smoked. Would be nice if someone made a completely clear set I could tint or an already tinted clear set but I do not believe they exist. The NSX-R doesn't have side markers and if I were to do front wide fenders I would probably delete though but then I would have to have the rear ones in the aluminum panels deleted somehow too which might be a lot of costly work. Don't know if I would pass inspection then either.

After you posted about clear corners you made me go look for a set of them just out of curiousity. There is a company that makes a full LED replacement set for both front and rear. 91-05 Honda | Acura NSX Products They think highly of their product though. $500 a pair so $1000 for 4 side marker lights in total. I think I might have to pass. I like quality parts and all but I don't know about that. I would have to bring myself to upgrade all the exterior lighting to custom LED setup to make it worth while or they would stand out.
