It might be possible to use NSX wheels, but it's not a direct bolt-on. I tried seeing what I could do to get them to fit on the ITR, but eventually gave up. The front NSX wheels have a different center bore (70 mm vs 64 mm for the ITR), so you really need to get hubcentric rings to get them to fit properly. Furthermore, due to the difference in offset (55 mm vs 50 mm for the ITR), they also rub on the suspension, so you would have to get spacers as well. The center bore for rear NSX wheels is the same as the ITR, but the offset (60 mm) and width (8-9", depending on year) make them unsuitable for use on the ITR.

 

Many people use the CRV wheels

this guy jason darne he works at pohanka acura over here in Va, he use to have a LS Dc with 5 lug conversion, he ran NSX fronts all the way around, im not sure how though, maybe ill ask him..a couple of the older Va users on here know him to, maybe one of them might know how he did it and posted it up

 

Lots of people use the Mazda Millenia or 929 wheels for track/autox duty. Lighter than stock, and cheap:

When I was scoping the market for an ITR a year or more ago, there was a black ITR that was running NSX rims, looked so sexy. I remember he said that it was just 4 rears or something to that nature.

yes.. babynsx and the shadow are both running nsx wheels. i've got the OE DC5-R wheels right now too.

 

Also newer prelude, like the SH wheels fit too...And i heard as long as you had 4 fronts, you could run S2000 wheels....

 

did the old comptech type r have nsx wheels?

Looked retarded.
