New rims for the NSX - Acura Forum

ChrisK · 07-27-05, 11:08 PM

Well, since I am selling my car to my brother I ended up selling my SSR GT3 rims. However, since my brother wont be paying the car off until next year, it is technically still mine and I needed rims for the next coming car shows. I eded up getting these SSR Professor SP1 rims in 18/19. To makre a long story short, the front are brand new NSX fitment 18s, but I originally bought a used 19X8.5 +30 and 19X10+37 for an SC400. The fronts will not work at all, but the rears are acceptable for now. The rear does stick out further than I'd like (1/2" maybe) and the disk face was all wrong and hit my caliper, so I actually had to swap it with the slighter higher front disk face off the other 19X8.5. Thank God for multipiece rims

Anway, NSX specific rears wont be available for at lest two months, so I'll have to live with this until then. Over all I really like this black face rims look on the white/black NSX more so than my SSR GT3 rims. It makes it look very racey and sporty.

Chris,
Oooh, that's tastey!!! Looks totally sweet. Not bad for "temporary" wheels.

If you decide to let the wheels go, let me know. The 19/19 setup should look really good on my black SC400.

Thanks Randy. These rims should be a keeper unless my brother wants to change them out later on. In fact, one day after I do the 02 front conversion with the SOS GT frotn bumper and rear 02 rear I kind of want (Or at least want my brother) to run 19/20" rims for car shows. These rims would be perfect for street driving.

As for the SC 19/19, I have to see. The two front rims are bent so I have to get them repaired. I might just throw them on my SC400 to prompt a quick sale. I'm trying to sell the SC by the end of the year or early next year.

Thanks. My GT3 rims were very classy, and this SP1 combo definately looks more sporty. I love the GT3, and if I ever do go back I'm definately going to get the Satin color one. It wont be black, but it will be more of that gunmetal color that should have a similar effect.
