Hello everyone!

I have a 1998 NSX-T.

I am coming to you because I am having a hard time making a decision on rims for my comptech widebody.

I would like to get an opinion from anyone on this forum that wants to give it.

Here are the rims I am considering....

The HRE 840Rs - http://216.73.121.214/wheels/images/enlarge/enlarge-840r.jpg
The 841Rs - http://216.73.121.214/wheels/images/enlarge/enlarge-841r.jpg
The 845Rs - http://216.73.121.214/wheels/images/enlarge/enlarge-845r.jpg
The 542Rs - http://216.73.121.214/wheels/images/enlarge/enlarge-542r.jpg

I am going with HREs because I want to go with 11 inch wide rims in the back. And, I don't like any of the other options out there.

You might think I am crazy, but I am kinda leaning towards the 542Rs. Why? Because the comptech kit makes the car more rounded. The 543Rs are a little more rounded. However, the guys at the store are telling me that I shouldn't go with them because they were designed for Porsches. But, my friend has RH wheels that were made for a Porsche on his NSX and they look awesome!

I am going to go with 18s in the front and 19s in the rear. I am doing this because I have 17/18s on there now and it doesn't look as good as it could. That is because there is a lot more fender room with the widebody.

Next opinion....

What finish do you think would look best on the kaiser silver? Here is what I am considering...

- Brushed - This is kinda like the stock 7 spoke except a little
nicer. HRE is the only one that offers this, according to
them.
- Painted - To match the body color

Also, anyone have any idea how much I can lower the car with
the Comptech adjustable suspension and swaybars.

Any other tips you might have for me would be greatly appreciated.

Keep in mind, it has a SC, Ring and Pinion, Headers, Exhaust and Intake.

Thanks for your help. I know I should be able to do this myself but I like to get other opinions. I have been asking everyone.

have you look at the hre 441r , thats what i have 18 and 19 .
[imo] they are the best looking . i have mine chrome in the middle and high polish lip ....18 and 19 looks good on the nsx but does not ride as good as 17 and 18 .
 
I have the comptech widebody kit and I used iforged flux wheels...If I had to do it again, I probably would have used the sprints - but when I ordered them the sprints weren't online. You can see a picture of my car in the picture section under something like "just got my iforged wheels" I forget who posted it. It's not under my handle, but it's the silverstone metallic 2000 NSX-T at a car show... of course I agree with you that the 542s look great.
 
Take a good look at BC Forged 2 piece custom built wheels Their webpage shows only up to a 10"...however, 11-13" widths are available now, we are just working on pricing.

As an incentive to be the "show off" and have these on your NSX before anyone else...I will offer a significant savings on the purchase. Please let me know if you have any questions.

If you decide to shoot for the HREs after all...again, let me know. As a NSX owner you do qualify for a NSX program we have and I would like to work out a price for you.
