He hooked me up with a seller a couple months ago, great guy!

I am running 215/40s, I wish I had gotten 225s though.

I ran 255/40s before with these wheels but I wasn't as low. Reason why my fenders aren't perfect anymore But I'll be getting those fixed soon.

Here's my car as she sits:




The wheels were originally white and the prior owner powdercoated them black. I'm bringing them to get sandblasted/powdercoated championship white (as close as they can get to it!) in the next few days.

Here's my question: Should I have the center caps done while they're at it or should I leave them as they are? It's a tough call. Originality vs. customization. I guess I'm going against originality in the first place by making them championship white but I'm debating nonetheless .

What do you guys think?

2200 YEN per cap

For 100 pitch and 114.3 pitch
17x9 +18 for NSX and GTR can not be mounted
When fitted with center caps a hub ring can not be mounted
Well I guess this answers my question! They were available in white from Desmond. White it is.

That's just a translation using some text I found on their old site. It is wrong as the caps do not come in white.

WTT: My 100% Perfect Black Regamaster Evos (16x7 +35 5x114.3) for the white version. The prior owner had them powdercoated them and I prefer the original white finish. Let me know what you have! I'm in North Jersey. Please PM, call/text (201.300.7257) or email me (anthony@pagano.com)

Thanks!

NSX + Regas wouldn't have it any other way

Funny Mikey and I were discussing our top 5's last night. Regas definitely in our lists. And as Dc2 once said, I agree with years later in retro spec, U never sell. LOL So I've finally found a set I will keep. If anyone has caps for sale, please lmk.



Caked in w/ brake dust they arrived, I had to check the face condition, so I wanted to clean at least one wheel.


Took some serious cleaning to remove staining from the lip, then I had to leave for work.



Came home w/ some sun light, thank you day light savings, then attacked the barrels. 10x harder mm's upon mm's of brake dust. Caked, baked, and well seated. I think I spent an hour if not more cleaning one rim barrel and still fell short.

Worked on my cleaning procedure a bit today, I was able to cut the cleaning time in half. Cleaned this one up before work. Rim #2




this is the cake that is so hard to remove.


finished product






Time to spare before sundown, I took the kids outside, let them play, while I attacked rim #3.
