Thoughts on these wheels?
Someone made an offer on my Volks, so I'm considering changing things up.... What do you guys think? Kinesis 18/19 set on my NSX.

I like the wheels, I like the NSX, but the two together are not my cup of tea.

Widths/Offsets?

Kinesis > Volk IMO but the width/lip/offset on the Kinesis set isnt doing it for me. Or maybe its just the wheel gap

I'm leaning more toward NO.. but was very tempted. You don't often see used kinesis wheels pop up at a good price.....

Got agree with the masses. Those wheels are kind of nasty on the NSX.

Keep your current setup

I've always loved that style of wheel but there's something about them that doesn't fit perfectly on the car. Sick car btw.

Keep the Volks you have.

If anything I'd go with a set of Volk RE30's. That would look sick on your car. Especially a set of mercury silver colored wheels.

Well, the Kinesis are ruled out. Not getting them. Here are some new options. Thoughts on these HRE's?










Here is how it looks like on an NSX, albeit, wrong color wheel and car... but you get the idea.
