Notes:

1) If you plan to upgrade your brakes on the NSX, be prepared to do some major research as the rather small wheel fitment in the front will limit your wheel choices.

2) The Acura NSX can get a pretty mean wheel in the back, however make sure to have ample brake clearance as the mid-engined set up of the car made for some rather large rear calipers. You can have a nice lip, but make sure the spokes don’t interfere. The front brakes also need some attention due to the larger size of the caliper.

3) Due to the relative cost of the NSX going lower, there seems to be a resurgence of these fine machines landing into the hands of tuners. Wide body applications seem to follow - your best bet for fitment would be to refer to a wheel company that typically deals with NSX like RAYS, Racing Hart, Work, etc..

When looking for wheels, obviously a light and strong wheel should be a characteristic to keep in mind when shopping for wheels. The NSX experience hinges on great handling and adding heavy junk wheels is like trying to fit a fat chick in a bikini, you just don’t do it.

Note: The fitments listed above are strictly examples of what you can run on your vehicle. We welcome any other contributions as long as they have been tested and proven to work. Send them in and spread the knowledge!
