New wheels look great!

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....

Dude, you need to come check out the new house and while you're here I'll hit that thing with some Croftgate stuff. We'll have it shining in 30 min!

CCColtsicehockey

Thanks guys. Thoughts on keeping the Diamond Black vs doing something crazy?

CCColtsicehockey

I definitely need to come check out the new house and the shop. Sounds like a plan.

oonowindoo

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

CCColtsicehockey

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.

classy

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.

that fitment is on fuckin point

CCColtsicehockey

They are definitely growing on me. Now that I am seeing them outside of the garage I am liking them more. My 22 powder coat samples showed up today but not sure I am ready to make any decisions on that. Maybe at least a year or running them in the current color.

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.

Have to say I love the way it's looking as is...

Whatever you do and decide, do NOT fuck your fenders.
I think it looks great now so a 265 with a slightly beefier front tire should be tits. 275 will probably just be tits in a cold room.
Either way, we suckin

CCColtsicehockey

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.

I'm an impulse buyer I had numbers drawn up on a new ES F-Sport lease yesterday just because I had the itch.

I bought those floormats on a whim over the summer and just got around to installing them

CCColtsicehockey

the old whack on the back of the head

I mean you would be turning in the one you have so it can't cost you that much more could it? I like whim purhcases

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

LOL...
if YOU are an impulse buyer what the fuck does that make me?
or even Jason with his 3 sets of wheels for every car?

CCColtsicehockey

I was thinking that J

It's our problem that brings us together!

CCColtsicehockey

This is a very valid point. It really does. So I made my latest one so you are due now

I agree with the others, those wheels in Diamond Black look good as is on the NSX... Great find!

iTrader: (8)

Keep it as is for while. They look great and the fitment is perfect!

iTrader: (5)

I have found that the past year or so has allowed me to be even worse of an impulse buyer than I already was I almost need someone to keep me in check

We basically stole our current ES, so the new one would be $300 more a month

...pass

CCColtsicehockey

$300 more a month for an ES....and ES....yeah not pass......run

RPhilMan1

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.

CCColtsicehockey

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.

CCColtsicehockey

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.

Have you installed anything lately? Are you holding off because of the weather?

CCColtsicehockey

nothing sitting around. I mean the wheels made it on the day they came home.
