Anyone running NSX wheels on a stock Type R?

[achowe2605]

Nothing to add here except pics... I bought my wheels from acurapartsnow.com, it was straightforward and painless. I did have them powder-coated a gloss black. I went with the Porsche Ti lugs as well... it's astonishing how light they are. Seriously, 5 Porsche lug nuts are lighter than 1 stock lug nut! It's pretty crazy!
I did go with the new Michelin Pilot A/S 4 ZP (the new Corvette tire) I'm very pleased with them. Again, nothing to add as far as handling, I agree with the statements above. The immediacy of turn in on the 20's is hard to replicate, but the daily driving experience is much better imho. Besides, I live in the Midwest and can't drive on the stock wheels/tires thru the winter. I think the NSX wheels are just dead sexy, AND they're much closer to stock offset.

Looks great! Apexit53 has got mine ready to head my way, painted Berlina black (like OEM). How do you like those tires? I'd really prefer to get summer tires, but logistics and timing (upcoming move) are cramping my style right now.

When people talk about NSX wheels, I assume they're referring to the "Signature Y-spoke wheels." Any difference between Acura model years 2019-2021, or are they all the same? I'm currently happy with my stock CTR wheels, but once those Conti's are worn I want to switch to Michelins (I LOVED their Pilot SS on my prior Si, so the PS4S are a no-brainer for me). When I get new tires, it seems like a good time to get 19" ones and Acura wheels. A friend works for Acura, so I've got to see if he can get me a discount!

I really like them. I'm a Michelin fan anyways, but they are a great compliment to the car. They are much quieter than the stock tires, obviously the extra sidewall helps. My car is a DD so I had to have something that would work in cold temps & snow. These are working perfectly

The NSX Y spokes are all the same across model years. They do have a different part# I believe for the newer MY's but they are the same wheel. I agree about the PS4S tires, I will get those when my Conti's wear out. I am really thinking the same as you... I might just get another set of Y spokes and mount the summer PS4S on the second set. As far as pricing discounts for the wheels, my son works for Honda and can get a discount on Honda/Acura parts... except for NSX parts. :-(
Check with your friend, but acurapartsnow was the cheapest that I found, and I had them in about a week.

Did you track before and after the NSX wheels? Do you have back to back impressions of both? Just curious - looks great man

never auto-x'd on the oe 20s so no feedback, thank you appreciate it!

I believe the last two SCCA DS champs have used the NSX Y spoke rims on their Type R. They are forged so stronger than stock rims and 10 pounds a wheel lighter plus 19" gives you more tire choices.

Wow those look incredible. Where did you buy them? Do they come with center caps?

It comes with the Acura emblems when you order the wheels but I used the OEM FK8 Type R caps and vinyl wrapped it to the same color of the wheels.

Where did you order the wheels from? They look so badass.

Are Hubcentric Spacers required for the NSX wheels?

^ great question regarding the hub centric rings, also does anyone know the part number for the 19s?

70.1 for the nsx wheels and 64.1mm center bore for the CTR wheels according to wheel-size.com

they are not required.

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:
