anyone seen it done yet

Mires

Its been done but it seems all the pics that was posted before are gone now. Im sure someone on here has pics saved on their comp. I might have one saved on cd-r. Ill see if I can find it.

Bradstard

Baby NSX has them. All of his pics aren't working as Mires said. I might have some pics on my home PC. IMO, they look great.

I hope Baby NSX doesn't mind. (I save practically all ITR pics )





Looks great. IIRC you have to use two sets of the front wheels for proper fit on an R. Maybe someone can confirm.

Mires

What is the offset of the front NSX wheels?

nsxtasy

The offset on the front NSX wheels is 55 mm (it's 60 mm for the rears). The bigger problem for using NSX wheels on the ITR is the center bore (that's the big hole in the center of the wheel). The ITR uses wheels with a 64 mm center bore, which is what the NSX rears have, but the NSX fronts have a 70 mm center bore. You'll need to find a set of hubcentric rings to use NSX front wheels on an ITR (and finding them is next to impossible, unless you know of someone who can machine them for you); otherwise, the lugs will bear the entire load of centering the wheels. Some people find that it works out, but a lot of people who use wheels with an oversized center bore end up with vibration problems because of the loss of the hub for wheel centering. (That's true not just of the ITR, but of many other cars as well.)

I had thought about using NSX wheels on my ITR for track tires, so that I could swap track tires between the two cars using the same wheels. Because of the problem with different center bores and the difficulty finding metal hubcentric rings, I eventually gave up on the idea.

KOALA YUMMIES

The hub centering problem is a minor minor issue and pops up in the roadracing/autocross forum all the time. The concensus is that friction between the hub and wheel holds the wheel, while the hub centering rings and wheels are merely to make it easier to bolt the wheel down, ensuring the lugnuts are making proper contact with the wheel. If you take your time with overbored wheels when tightening the lugnuts down its not really an issue.

Like I said, some people don't have vibration problems with overbored wheels, but a lot of others do, even after being very careful and following all the proper procedures when tightening the lugs. Like anything that might or might not be a problem, it's a risk, something that may or may not happen in any particular case. I didn't want to take that risk.

NSX rims are 16 in

nsxtasy

Incidentally, for anyone considering this, the '94-96 NSX wheels were painted gunmetal color almost identical to the '00-01 ITR wheels, and the '97-01 NSX wheels were a clearcoated brushed aluminum. All the photos above are of the '97-01 NSX wheels. White wheels were also available on an optional basis but were very rare.

Used NSX wheels are most commonly available in sets of four, two fronts and two rears, and typically go for $750-1500 a set depending on condition (and that's without tires, can go for more with tires). Note that these are NOT the five-spoke '91-93 NSX wheels that sometimes go for under $200 a set.

New front wheels and prices:
'94-96 front 16x7 Solaris Silver (gunmetal) 44700-SL0-A01ZA list $1204.95 each, Delray Acura $963.96 each
'94-96 center cap Solaris Silver (gunmetal) 44732-SL0-A02ZA list $61.13 each, Delray Acura $48.90 each
'97-01 front 16x7 Blades Silver (brushed aluminum) 44700-SL0-A30ZA list $1204.95 each, Delray Acura $963.96 each
'97-01 center cap Blades Silver (brushed aluminum) 44732-SL0-A30ZA list $37.82 each, Delray Acura $30.26 each

What's funny is that the photos are of the '97-01 wheels. The '94-96 NSX gunmetal seven-spoke wheels look even more like the ITR '00-01 gunmetal seven-spoke wheels, except for the size.

OT I've always loved the wheels on the first NSX Type Rs (1992-1995 I think, and super rare). But I've always been curious of what those wheels would look like on a CW

If anyone can find a pic post it up, they're a 5-spoke design painted in CW (I've been looking).

I don't have a pic of the wheels on a CW ITR, but here are the wheels in question, from the rare parts thread in A/C:
