congrats and welcome to our merry band!!!

[nobby]

welcome on board

nice car by the looks of it. fill us in on details

not sure about the 3 pronged attack on the wheels ... think the NSX needs more spokes ... imho

health to enjoy!

[Sudesh]

Good work on purchasing the best and fastest color! Welcome to the club!

3 spoke wheels and black mirrors don't do it or me thiugh, nice set of OEM 7 spokes and mirrors returned to red, would set it off nicely!

[Hagasan]

C'mon guys give the guy a break. He's just got his car and the wheels he wants. Give him a chance to enjoys it..... he might be put off coming here if being suggested what to change on day one! Just a consideration...

[AR]

We mean well nobody wants people to get the wrong idea and think I a 3000 gt lol.

All kidding aside, welcome and if you like it who can tell you otherwise!!!

Its just an opinion! Nobody is holding anyone at gun point suggesting he has to do as we say lol

When I had my first wheels, I was pretty much told they where "s**t" looking a week after owning it..............3 weeks later I realise they were and bought the OEM 7 spoke lol

[delongcheng]

Thx for all comments, but had my heart set on these Advan SA3R. Im going to get them refurb like this

not wanting to put him off/giving him a hard time; car looks well ... think the nsx needs more spokes ... just my own opinion, its his car if he likes his wheels then happy days

well I suppose at a push we could call them 6 spokes:).... I saw an interesting design on my old Integrale Evo forum in spoke design.... think they may be a bit to "riskey" for eyes on here.... or just indecent!

The darker colour would probably suit the car better as per the white car post..

[AR]

I suppose the thing is that the advans like many other wheels ( rp-01, azevs etc ) are "old school" wheels and the NSX has remained ageless.

[nobby]

you know what i mean!!! :laugh:

[Senninha]

Welcome and enjoy ...

Don't mind the banter, it's all in good spirits

Look forward to learning more about you both

Regards, Paul

You should be able to post in the for sale section the same as you are in this section. I'm not aware of any forumadmin rules against non 'platinum' members posting in the for sale section or such like....

[delongcheng]

dunt know why I cant post, it said I do not have permission to access this page. Anyone can help?

[NSXGB]

PM me details and I may be able to save you the bother ;)

Sennina may be along soon to confirm why you can't post, failing that, drop him a PM..

[Hagasan]

When you log in are you ticking the "remember me" tab? Sometimes when you swithc pages it plays up a limits access to stuff. Well that occasionally been my experience. Simon PM me the details :laugh:

[NSXGB]

Cant believe I just bought a genuine Type-R engine cover for £100!

[Problem Child]

Congratulations on buying an NSX and welcome to our little club.

Thats at least 2 new owners this week....Is the market picking up?

[Senninha]

Hi Rick,

We had to impose a min post count a while back as we were flooded with non owners trying to offload goods, often not NSX related. Info is in your PM.

Alternatively you could take up NSXCB's offer to post on your behalf ... I think he's cut his commission fee's recently, LOL.

Back to your OP / wheels ...

I like the detail photo you posted. Have you thought of maybe going a bit 'softer' by using a gunmetal finish with the red rim rather than black? Although black links to the roof etc, I think they may be too much on the wheels. You'd also have a very special looking set of wheels. My other thought agains tblack is that they nearly always leave an NSX crying out to be lowered, which depending on where you live/drive may not be possible or advisable.

Good luck and hope this helps

regards, Paul

[nobby]

agree with the above Paul stated re black wheels on NSX etc. my car has black but these will be refurbed and colour changed this year for definite ... yet to determine colour but it wont be black going forward

[Hagasan]

[TheSebringOne]

Congrats and welcome.

Great news, another NSX in the NW!

[delongcheng]

Hi Paul

thx for your advice. i understand that the SA3R is not every people's cup of tea for for some reason it always catch my eyes. for the colour of the wheels i still havnt made up my mind yet for gunmetal or gloss black. maybe u guys can give me some idea on it. Here got 2 pics from google, the first one is gunmetal and the second is gloss black, there u go!

Sudesh is rarely wrong and only in this instance in that the GPW is the best colour, you must have just not been able to find one tidy enough so you had to settle for the next best thing. There are just so few of us about we choose to be quiet about it.
Glad to have another NSX lover aboard.

Cheers

[m666 edd]

Of those 2 - gunmetal.

Black only suits track cars (also good at hiding brake dust) or if you want it to look like you are running on steels from a distance.

IMO of course :)

lol, even fewer genuine white NSXs here, in fact I can think of about 4, one has been written off and hasn't been seen since, one is a facelift NSX-R, then 2 facelift UK 04/05 cars. Don't recall seeing any others.

[TheSebringOne]

+2 or +3 (after Paul) for gun metal.

Also agree that black wheels mainly white cars.

[NSXGB]

Gunmetal for sure.

[nigel]

Sudesh; Just c*cking about. There are very few GPWs round here, (South Fl.) as well.
Delongcheng; Another for Gun Metal here. Should look the business on the red car.

Cheers
nigel

[delongcheng]

seems gunmetal is the way to go:D

by the way anyone can show me some light on lowering the car please? shall i go for coilovers or just the springs will do the job? at the moment i m looking at some tanabe springs from the US.

[Tokyo-Joe]

I have great experience with Tein lowering springs, smooth, composed ride and a couple of inches drop. I really rate them :)

[delongcheng]

Do you got any pics of the car after lower pls?
