How Rims can make such a difference

octechgeek · 9 April 2008

I still cannot decide what look I want to stick with, changing shoes all the time can be tiresome on the back. I know the final decision is on me, but just figure i post some pics so see what some of your taste is out there.

On RoJa's formula 7.

Here she sits with some SF Challenge.

Going OEM.

The second photo looks like a great choice:biggrin: So hot!!

NSXAMG996TT · 9 April 2008

All three look pretty good...but I vote for the SF challenge (since I have a set for track use).

JCC · 9 April 2008

I've seen your NSX in person with the SF's and it looks awesome. However, I really LOVE the look of the 1st picture with the RoJa's.

I like the stock +02 wheels. Are you planning to paint the hood? Attractive car man :biggrin:

Where did you get your wheels painted from? Please PM me if you have that info.

picture #1 - for sure.
Just match the car so much.

Isn't there a pretty significant weight difference between the OEMs and the other multi-piece wheels? Plus the OEM is BBS forged.

I would go with the OEM. I can't tell if you have spacers on the OEM or not, but you could always add the 15mm spacers if you want them to look more aggressive.

Do you currently have a white hood on the car or the carbon hood? (white hood is better).

MasterMason · 9 April 2008

No ROJA please.. Better brand names will be preferred.. You are driving a supercar, man...

gleibig · 9 April 2008

I'm an SF Challenge fan, myself.

PKim · 9 April 2008

I thought you sold the RaJa? I also like the 2nd picture.

Zishan · 9 April 2008

I'm a fan of ALL 3 wheels. But with your color and current upgrades, I feel the Volk's look the best. If you didn't have the aftermarket side skirts, the OEM wheels might flow better with your car. But since the side skirts are aggressive(compared to stock), I think the more aggressive sized Volk wheels match much much better. :smile:

Cant be the quality & the looks of the volks.

sokudo88 · 9 April 2008

i like the roja's personally due the gunmetal look. it matches the car entirely.

scorp965 · 9 April 2008

I like the appearance of the volks, but the OEM's are strong, and light.

If these are the white wheels WingZ was selling on ebay, they're replicas of oems, and are cast, instead of forged, resulting in a wheel that has neither of these advantages.

Get the OEM 02+ in powder coat white with the JDM "H" center caps. Get the real deal. Also get the NSX-R type hood and paint it white and front lower bumpber.

i think you need some contrasting color. your 2 aftermarket choices are too similar - I think thats why you can stick with one

you need GOLD!!!

oem with the spacers for me.

CDX_NSX · 10 April 2008

You know I like the SFs.

PoohBEAR · 10 April 2008

I love OEM buddy....I'll slap on OEM just like that when I get another X.

octechgeek · 10 April 2008

Guys,
Thanks for all the feedbacks. Really nice to get some opinions and different point of views from other members.

Hood is just temporary, awaiting the NA1 carbon hood with the R scoop. As for the wheels, they are powder coated, not painted.

I would go with the OEM. I can't tell if you have spacers on the OEM or not, but you could always add the 15mm spacers if you want them to look more aggressive.

Right now I have the carbon hood on. The 3rd pic is the most current and i have H&R Hubcentric 25mm on all fours. Flushes nicely to the fenders and makes it look so much better.

Yup, the Rojas have been sold. Posted the pic just to get some opinions, hopefully I won't regret selling them. :biggrin:

They are OEM 02+ wheels powder coated in white and as for the "H", haven't applied the sticker yet. I have the NSX-R oem " Red H" center caps, but the cap is champ white, so I can't use them won't match the wheel. So, sorry if that it's not the real deal with the vinyl sticker, it's as close as i can get without having to repaint the NSX-R center caps, eliminating the "red H" completely and than slapping on another "red H" logo. Kinda the same deal..yea?
