Anyone running NSX wheels on a stock Type R?

[Sil98]

Some good info here. I'm afraid i don't have/can't provide the name of the person who did the wheel upgrade analysis:

Thanks. I get they're not for everyone but if you love the crazy styling of the R like I do, I feel these fit the curves and crazyness nicer than a more regular spoked wheel. Love that they're a cool NSX oem option too.

To buy these new, you need a VIN off an NSX that came equipped with these optional wheels from the factory, including the color you want (they come in this gray, silver, and polished) + the appropriate part number for the wheel/color combo. I first asked two people that had an NSX optioned with these exact wheels if they would care to share their VIN......no luck, so hopped on to cargurus and found one for sale that had these equipped.

Took that VIN and ordered from the online Acura dealer that was selling each for the lowest price.....but with VIN + part number, you can order from any Acura dealer. They aren't cheap......was lucky to find 2 very lightly used ones for sale off an NSX classified that I snagged for $700 shipped first but the other 2 I bought new were like $1200 shipped, so ~$2400 shipped if you're buying all 4 new. I believe they are built to order so you have to wait a bit after ordering for them to be made and shipped out.

The part number for these metallic grey ones is 44700-T6N-A21 (was a headache to confirm this but trust me, this is the correct one for this color). The color matched center caps are just OEM Type R caps that I had color matched at a body shop (cost 100 bucks for a perfect match). Despite them listing the color as "shark grey metallic", the body shop confirmed that some regular Acura grey custom mixed with more flakes was a much better match than just shark grey metallic.

Do you happen to know the weight on this particular NSX wheel is it 18 pounds like the Y style wheel??

I would run hubcentric rings with the NSX wheels, cheap peace of mind. I got my aluminum rings made from uswheeladapters.com but even cheap plastic ones in the right size will work.

Also, I know most prefer the Y spokes, but the interwoven wheels also work if you prefer that look. Here are mine paired with the Porsche titanium lug nuts and color matched center caps:

What size hubcentric rings did you use.

i found some plastic ones on amazon (70.1 to 64.1)

What size hubcentric rings did you use.

Here is my order from uswheeladapters.com:

Hub Centric Rings
Custom Aluminum (Set of 4)
(Outer) 70.1

(Inner) 64.1

Select Outer Flange size: Standard Outer Flange (.100")

I prefer aluminum but cheaper plastic ones in the same size should work fine.

Thank you for the information brother!

I may be changing out my OEM 20” to 19” NSX wheels later this year. Recommended places (websites, dealers, etc.) to order them? Thanks!

Erick quick question where did you get your NSX wheels from and did you purchase 4 front wheels? and one more question do you happen to have the part number for the fronts?

I just got my nsx wheels a few days ago (four fronts). Here’s the part number from the side of the box.

It seems like the last part of the number changes periodically with newer model years(-201, -202, -203, etc.), but the wheels seem to be the same.

Hope that helps.

FYI that's for y-spokes. Not sure if you are interested in interwoven one like greekfreak, the one in previous pic post.

Yes the interwoven ones look great, but it seems they have several part numbers like the left front and right front a little confusing.

Interwoven FTW. Way more preferred in the NSX NC1 world. Either design looks great on the FK8!

 

[bouford]

i recall the "nc-twist" being slightly heavier than the "nc-y" as well... agreed both look great on the fk8.
