the oem with spacers on a lowered car are much better looking than anything else!

makes me happy that i went with 17/18 !
the 18/19 combo does look so very beautiful though.

Either way it looks sweet because it's an NSX! But I wish I had those oem.
I like the OEM wheels better.
Soon you will discover that 25mm spacer is a little too much for the front, I also had 25mm front / back and eventually switched to 5mm front and back.

I've had 25 front and rear for 6 months now no problems. Plus. With 5mm you won't get the flush w fender look. They still will look sunk in.
Both are nice

I never said that you will have problems, I just said that 25mm is a little much for the front IMO. I don't want to have to change my studs so I switched to 5mm front and back, it doesn't give you much but it makes me feel better about the look. At this moment my car is lowered by around1/4" and with the 5mm spacers it is just perfect. It looks oem and it's just enough that if it came like this from the factory you wouldn't want to do anything about it, again this is only my personal opinion.
BTW, I noticed that people with agressive front wheel offsets tend to get rock chips by the outside edge of side scoops, this could be due to the bottom of the tire sticking out and throwing stuff that way.

Have OEMs on my 03 now with 25mm spacers in the rear and 15mm spacers in the front. Have a set of Enkei RP03 on the way in 18/17 with offsets of 38/40 respectively.Went from ESM 004:

Whatever you do don't sell those oem wheels! You'll regret it!Have OEMs on my 03 now with 25mm spacers in the rear and 15mm spacers in the front. Have a set of Enkei RP03 on the way in 18/17 with offsets of 38/40 respectively.
+1 on that brother! They're getting cleaned and shelved in my basement
In this case, OEM ALL DAY!
OP -- the OEM wheels w/ spacers look WAY better. Not a big fan of wheels that look like bicycle wheels with a million spokes.Have OEMs on my 03 now with 25mm spacers in the rear and 15mm spacers in the front. Have a set of Enkei RP03 on the way in 18/17 with offsets of 38/40 respectively.
Butter78 -- did you get into an accident? The rear valence should not be painted that way....
it should look like this:
No sir I painted it. When I bought the car it had curb rash on the bottom and that really started to bother me so I decided to paint the whole piece.OP -- the OEM wheels w/ spacers look WAY better. Not a big fan of wheels that look like bicycle wheels with a million spokes.

Well 1. the advans you want are a lot better looking than the esm wheels.
2. Your car is a lot lower than his and looks more aggressive with the front and rear spoiler so aftermarket looks better w that stuff
They want to buy your wheels.
LOL... I think you've solved the puzzle.They want to buy your wheels.

Disagree. Keep your OEM regardless but Silver looks WAY better with Advans or aftermarket wheels.
Or if you powdercoated your wheels either white or gunmetal...
