Silver OZ Ultraleggera alloys

[TheSebringOne]

I've always been a big fan of these and I wonder what are peoples thoughts on how they suit a Silver NSX?

Since they are 17/18s combo, how would they look, would I have more tyre choices & sizes since OEM on 16/17 is dwindling, how wider tyres affect handling and how much wider can I go tyres wise on larger wheels?

Cheers and answers on post card! :)

Silver on silver looks great.
My experience is that the offset of the wheels affect the handling of the much more than tire width if you keep the later within 10 mm. Most people go for 40 mm offset due to optical reasons. With OEM-like offsets the handling is better IMO.
Personally I've thought about those nice looking wheels and would go for 7/17 ET 48 215/40 and 9/18 ET 55 255/35 and may add a 10 mm spacer on the rear ones (= ET 45). Too bad they don't do a 9/17 or so as this would be my preferred size (like 02+ wheels).
On the rear the max. tire size is 265/35 as it's a 9/18.
