An absolute thing of beauty. I have been drooling over these wheels ever since DJSKYY posted some pictures of them about a month ago. I had my heart set on a 17/18 combo, but if you choose the HP Evo route, your options are either 18/18, or 18/19. Both look incredible, but I was really hoping to avoid the 18/19 combo.
In my quest to find a 17/18 combo, my disappointment is that nothing appeals to me more than these wheels, at any price. They look incredible. The difference in the pics above comparing them to the stock set-up is mind blowing. Holy cow.
Weight is a big issue for a lot of Prime members. If the figures I recieved are correct, the 18x8 weigh about 23 lbs, and the 18x9 weigh about 24 lbs. That might be correct, because on two different websites that list weights of different wheels, indicate that the 17x7 HP Evo (aka Lightning) weighs 19.8 -- so that seems in line with the figures for the 18s. That's not light like the magnesium and forged one, but that's not too bad, either. Besides, it's not like people go 18/19 for performance anyway. Whatever route I take, I'll be keeping my homely 15/16 with OEM Yokos for a possible track day, or when I feel like a high performance day. Who knows, maybe when I get the larger wheels, the NSX will still feel like a "performer." Hopefully the drop in performance won't be anything significant.
Right now my main debate is whether I should go 18/18 or 18/19. That is unless I find a 17/18 combo in a different wheel that I could agree on ---- which has not been the case. The HP EVO has set the standard for me personally, and I can't seem to top it.
Do the pictures above feature the Hyper Silver LIGHT, or Hyper Silver DARK?
