Taking a poll part 2

[Dman]

Does the NSX look better at stock height or lowered? Also which do you prefer, the OEM seven spoke wheels or aftermarket wheels?

 

[Joe Gliksman]

My vote is stock height and aftermarket wheels--that is what I have on my 92.

 

[Nsxotic]

never believed in lowering a car...... However, I just lowered mine after 2 years and it looks awesome!!!!!! And, of course, aftermarket wheels....the stock ones are horrid (any of them) as with every car's stock wheels...

The stock wheels from 91-3 are the best looking ones and I prefer the stock height. This is simply my good taste or it could be because I am broke. I think the 94+ wheels are okay too.

lowered (Bilstein & Eibach) & Aftermarket wheels (HRE 540 18/19)!

Though I happen to be one of those pro-stock guys (i.e. I keep saying that I'm not gonna mod mine), I have to admit the NSX looks meaner when lowered an inch, especially when running with 17's up front and 18's in the rear. One of these days I may consider to do so myself...but for now I'm happy with a totally stock NSX.

Lowered with 17/18's. Stock rims are nice but they are still stock! I just raised mine back up to sell and the damn thing looks like a 4X4!

 

[NSEX]

If just for the "look", I would go for 18 front and 19 rear which looks alot meaner than 17/18 and don't forget to lower the car too.

lowered and aftermarket wheels

 

[PUREVIL]

Lowered, because wheel well gap is nasty! But to much is no good too! Remember that "low rider" NSX from SEMA someone posted a pic of?

Aftermarket wheels, no way will I ever roll stocks!

Am I the only one to see the practical side of this thread? My stock '91 has only 5 1/4" of ground clearance at the spoiler. I scrape on most speedbumps, driveway transitions, and culverts and have to drive defensively in this regard at all times. How do those of you who lower your cars manage to escape body damage?

It takes skill Sven

Well, actually after 4 times repainting my front wings west spoiler within every two months. I've gotten better, and it's been about 7 months now until I'm repainting the front lip again. But then I live in San Francisco.
