OK, I know the purist will find this car pretty repulsive, but personally, I really like the rims. They're too big and I hate that heavy camber thing. But if I had a red NSX I'd love those in 17/18 combo.

What we think then?

There was me, thinking of running a sweepstake on the forum for the NSX in which you would appear at next years Japfest; and you just come up with the winning answer.
That aside, many thanks for your time and efforts in getting us all to this years Japfest. Well done and thanks.

Suited to that car...definitely not if it was on a non-bodykitted car.

Imagine that on your Ex-IOP car.

Gold rims are for Scoobies, not an NSX ... bronze can work against the right body colour IMO

One of the things I like about Japanese car culture is the innovation of style. However, Eddy Izzard once said that cool was like the rim of a glass; the difference between cool and uncool is very close.
Personally, I love those wheels, but think perhaps we don't have the climate here. Seems like a So-Cal style.
I strongly believe that wheels make a car, but due to the dimensions of the NSX there isn't much choice.
As for the ex IOP, the new owner picks it up at the weekend. A real car enthusiast. Hopefully he'll join the forum.
Not sure where I'm going next. Every time I sell one I want another;-) Maybe a SC NA1?!!!

Cheers,

James.

I was thinking the same thing so was going to suggest they might look OK on a LBB, but then it might look like you are trying to be a Scoobie?

I thought the gold rims looked pretty good on my old LBB;-)!
I guess the great thing about wheels is they're easily changed. Paul, are you still running the LM's?

Cheers.

Bronze wheels are for Subarus. Gold wheels are for Terry.

I like the air between the spokes.

Other than that, four milk crates would suit it better.
