Perhaps like a TE37 or CE28 in that combination?
Pictures?
Thanks.

Anyone run a non NA-1R 15/16 wheel combo?

+1 on this... I'm interested in finding near OEM offset TE-37 in 15/16 if possible.
Volk used to make 15" rims with 5-114.3 bolt patterns, but they are no longer listed in their catalog.
After going from the OEM 16/17 to the 15/16, the 15/16 is definitely the way to go.
Perhaps the TE-37 and the like have to be special ordered?

Do you know what the OEM offset is?
Perhaps we can split up 2 sets of wheels...

OEM NSX offsets from the wiki:
15x6.5" +55mm (205/50R15 @ 33psi)
16x8" +60mm (225/50R16 @ 40psi)
Going to 15/16 really does help the feel of the car: in a non power steering NSX, steering effort feels lighter and has a...nicer ride, suspension seems to "work" faster.
IMHO, there is no reason to run a larger wheel than what came OEM unless you are running bigger brakes, besides looks.
The SSR are available in 15x7 +42 and 16x7 +42.
FWIW, and at the risk of sounding like a shill, D-force can make custom wheels, but their MOQs means needing at least 50 people interested for a set. Custom means correct bore sizing so no need for rings, either. http://dforcewheels.com/pages/products.php
Sector 111 OEMs wheels from them for their offering for the Exige. http://sector111.com/products/performance/wheels/coming-soon-ethos-wheels.cfm
With the number of OEM 5 spoke wheels out there and their price, it's the way to go. The one thing I'd like to see would be a center cap that just covers a bore for the OEM 5 spoke.
(edit: not my car above)
It's a good look. But given how far the hub sticks into the bore, it will be practically impossible to do.

You might dig around on one of the MR2 boards (www.mr2.com / www.mr2oc.com). They might not stagger diameters as much, but they do stagger widths and typically look for similar offsets with aftermarket wheels (same bolt pattern as well).
That might be a job for my 3D printer.
A shallow cap with a nice tight fit might work.
