Hi Guys,
I've always been a big fan of small, lightweight wheels, and I also don't like over-tiring my street cars. I've been trying to find good aftermarket options for my newly acquired '91 NSX, but it seems that there aren't that many options today since the market has moved towards bigger and bigger wheels. Does anybody have any suggestions for aftermarket 15/16 or 16/17 setups that would run similar to stock size tires? The lightest, smallest setups I've seen recently seem to be SSR Type C 17/17. OEM specs below for quick reference. Many thanks for any and all input!
