Which Wheels on the NSX do you like better?

Just curious, which wheels, in a gunmetal finish do you like better? Keep in mind the pics are at different angles, They are both the same sizes, 18" in front and 19" in rear.

#1
Iforged Aero's:



or

#2
Volk GT-V's




or

#3
Iforged flux (CHOP):

Depends on the car, but I tend to like more conservative designs, so for most all applications I would be in favor of the I-forged

I think I saw a yellow NSX with those Volks before and it looked incredible. I love those wheels.

Fuck that color is beautiful! Long Beach Blue Pearl Ftmfw!

They both look really good although #1 is more conservative than #2.

I really love my current wheels, so I chopped another version. Added iforged flux.

In that case, HRE 756(or 841) polished with a moderate lip on the rear - or any clean, no visible rivets, high end forged wheel. I don't think dark wheels do that car justice, in particular in that color.

Or, you could have CC Wheel brew you up a custom set.

My vote was for the Flux, by the way. All bidness.

GT-V's second,
Aeros look tired.

I like the Volk's more, but not on the NSX. It just doesn't look right IMO. For the NSX, #1 looks best.

Those Volks look really good

Question, why do people put 18/19 combo on the NSX? I don't think i've seen this on any other car..

I vote for the GT-Vs. And did you get an NSX or something? I must have missed the thread.... the CCWs are badass too, good value for high quality wheels. A select few F-Body guys have them too... I like the SP500 and SP505A

You haven't? 2nd-gen MR2s, C5, C6 Corvettes, and well, NSXs too and thats just what I've seen from experience. Quite a few RWD car owners out tehre who like staggered setups, not only with tire/wheel width but also wheel diameter. Looks pretty badass on the right car.... its for looks, to have equal-looking sidewalls when your rear tires are larger than your fronts.

Out of your wheels you posted the Aeros would be my choice. However I think all of these look better.

Yes, his car is my inspiration, although I don't like the sideskirt or front lip. As conservative as most NSX folk are, most of them seem to love that wings west/downforce/stacy skirt.

So far, I don't like any of the recommended wheels posted. The work ones are two think (spokes), TE-37's, not a fan of the color, or wheels with lip/no contrast (but would consider the LE-37's in gunmetal). If I'm not going to get a polished lip, I would rather get a more concave design, or even the CE series from Volk.

And no, I didn't get the NSX yet. It's down to the GTR or NSX. I know, two totally different cars. IF I'm able to get a good deal on the GTR (no markup, etc), then I won't be able to pass it up.... If not, then I'll have to "settle" for the NSX. I love both cars for various reasons, although they certainly are two different animals. Anyways, this time around I want to get my wheels on order if the GTR doesn't work out... If my dealer isn't able to take care of me, then I'll place an order for the NSX wheels to minimize downtime. The dealer is still waiting on Nissan to let him know how many GTR's they will be getting.... If they only get one or two, then I'm SOL.

I've had absolutely no problems with my current iforged wheels, had a great experience with the vendor who I purchased them from, and would not hesitate in purchasing them again.
