Did the lug nuts come with these wheels or you bought somewhere else? Looking so sharp and the letter R really stands out!

Will these fit? Are they too wide to have an offset so close to stock? Would I have handling closer to stock with these or the Motegi MR924 53mm Offset wheels?

Acura NSX F Wheel Set
Diameter: 19”
Width: 8.5”
Offset: +55mm
Weight: 18.9 lbs/ea (after powdercoat application)
Hub: Requires hubcentric ring (70.1mm – 64.1mm)
Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (245/35zr19)
Notes: Wheels were chem-stripped to raw material, then powdercoated in gloss black to match the OEM centercaps.
I have attached my wheel upgrade analysis documenting fit, cost, and projected savings based on available tire compounds in the 19” range.

Nice NSX wheels - how much did you pay to have them repainted like that?

He's attached all the information to PDF file. Really awesome setup and analysis! The gloss black rims blend in better than the original metallic grey, even on a PMM Type R.

Holy moly, this is exactly the type of stats I'm looking for with the aftermarket wheel setup. Thank you very much for posting this. I hope you're enjoying your CTR as much as put in the time on this setup and stats.
Did you make this analysis sheet yourself?

Given that recent set of wheels I am taking a liking to, after the cost of 4 wheels, getting the color you want (which seems to be an added premium cost), 4 performance tires, alignment, I'd say 4k is around the ballpark of a set of Volk Racing TE37s wheels before everything else. Setup for 19s also seem to not be as widely available as 18s.

I did make the analysis sheet myself. I sourced the offset/speed correction image from (willtheyfit.com) and conducted the cost analysis based on current prices and cost to mount/balance/align. I also weighed the wheels throughout every phase of the process. The average NSX wheel weight was as follows:
OEM finish: 18.85 lbs
Raw material: 18.55 lbs
Powedercoat: 18.9 lbs.
