First proper drive [Archive]

Drove my car From Tamworth to Knutsford on Wednesday. First time I've really done any miles in it. I had a grin from ear to ear all the way there and all the way back.

The car is everything that I want it to be, fast, looks fantastic, handles great, everything works and I can't wait for the next journey.

Some advice please. The Guy I bought the car from had the wheels anodized Gunmetal grey, which I kinda like, but being yellow I also like white wheels. Heres a pic of a yellow NSX with white wheels

What do you think of the colour match???

Excellent, now you really have the bug!

FWIW the only person on this forum with white wheels on a non NSX-R really has no idea about the NSX, so I'm not sure it is the look you should be going for! :D (P.S. 10 points if you can tell me who I'm talking about?)

Joking apart as you have a Targa and I assume it has a yellow roof I would think the white would look OK. I don't think they suit the black topped cars...

Looking forward to meeting up before long, I just need to stop working so many hours and have time to head up the motorway towards you first!

Regards, Matt.

I finally get my hands on mine tomorrow, I'm sure I'll be the same! White wheels on yellow works well for me - agree better without the black roof

Sorry , it's the boss (Kevin/forumadmin), he has the real deal NSX-R white wheels on his black track car (probably see pics in the vb garage). I think he is entertaining selling his actually...

I'm based in Redditch about 5 mins off junction 2 of the M42. Would be good to meet up while the weather is still OK, one NSX looks good but two together is always a special sight!

Flipping heck we actually have another member who is keen to meet up! As I said I'd do last week I'll PM you my number and we can arrange to meet up soon!

White on Yellow, IMO, would only work with the black top and black rear spoiler option.

You dont need to repaint as its possible to have a vinyl wrap that can be removed in the future.

just my 2p's worth

I think white wheels can look great in photos, with a lovely setting. But i'm not sure about in the dreary UK when driving about normally.

All yellow car with white wheels could look a bit Duplo, needs some dark for contrast. On the other hand, red/black with white wheels :think:

Baby G ,good luck and have a great time when you pick up your very own NSX! :thumbsup:

Dan, great idea about a North West meet soon! Look foward to meeting you Steve since Tamworths not too far! These yellows are a tad common up these parts, but more the merrier! Knutsfords only 20 miles from me! :)

I think white wheels can look good on yellow, but has to be a certain style. I know one set of white wheels would definately look great, but will cost you an arm and a leg, the oems Type R NSX 17s! :(

I know someone here thought about having green wheel!?! :eek:

Do you REALLY want to start comparing licence history on here Si? :D

i dont mind green on yellow..j a p styleee!

DTM, if I had a choice bewteen green or white wheels, the white would suit more colour options. With a yellow car, you could get away with green just about, but you've got to be slightly wild and DGAS! Having said that green says track wheels to me or I'm a extrovert! :D

22-09-2007, 12:12 PM

No James i am getting white. ;)

Steve

Who in their right mind would have green wheels???

Will have to give some serious consideration to the white wheels.

Happy to meet anywhere with anyone!!!!
