Pictures of 17/18 Enkei RP03 on a red 91-94 NSX?

[M-P]

Thinking about picking up a set of RP03's for my NSX (17x8 +40(F) and 18x9.5 +38(R)) in silver finish based off what the car posted below looks like. The only problem is I have yet to see a picture of them on a red car with a black roof and pop-up lights. Just curious before I pull the trigger.

Yes. That's exactly what I'm running. 17x8 +40 and 18x9.5 +38

Looks like I may be the first then :/

I really can't see it looking much different than the pics, and I can elaborate. These wheels do not have any black or other color that will clash or contrast with a black roof, one thing I can mention is that after having many sets of these in my possession I have noticed that they are a slightly darker silver than a lot of silver rims. Some people including myself find that because of this, they can look odd on a silver or silverstone car however, as you see they look great on a red car.

I agree with Wil, Red is possibly the best color to install these onto. I have tried these on white and magnum gray in the original finish. Search for Diddy's ride you will see black 18/19's on his red nsx.

Well I'm currently between choosing these, the Enkei GTC01's in hyper black, and the Enkei Kojin's in matte black. I'm planning on doing an NSX-R wing and maybe painting the side ducts and mirrors black to match the roof (need to repaint the roof anyway). I'm just worried that I will want darker wheels than the RP03's to match the rest of the car once I do all these things. Worse comes to worse I could have them repainted since they are already a pretty affordable wheel and one way or another they will look way better than what I currently have.

You know, if you want to you can always plastidip them!

looks really good..

Thanks for the photoshop work Spooler! I tried only to find out my PS skills have fallen off sharply in the past several years.

Also Angus, plastidip is a good idea if I'm not satisfied with the silver. Though it would only be a trial for some permanent solution.

Finally went to order these this week...ends up they are discontinued and completely out of stock of both sizes. Back to the drawing board .

Welcome to my world. I feel your pain as I tried to order a set a few months ago.

Found my alternative (and ultimately more desirable choice), just had to spend more money than I wanted to. So excited .
