A '91 with 70k miles for about $47k. Replica OEMs too. Why would the owner go through this much effort and not even get the OEM wheels?

probably because he doesn't have any more yen in his pocket (or bank)

May be because a set of new OEM NSX-R wheels is listed for 800000 yen?

I was thinking he should have bought '02 OEMs and had them powdercoated.

OEM 2002+ NSX-R wheels are only about $100 more a piece than regular 2002+ non-R wheels. So it doesn't make sense to powdercoat if you have access to the real deal.

Ben... i'm sure that he meant used 02+ wheels :wink:

It's the price in Japan. If I recall correctly, the standard NSX-R seats are not much more than standard NSX seats.... In ... Japan.

The pricing of NSX-R parts in Japan is out of control. They are on par - or more with equivalent Ferrari parts.
