What size/offset are you running? The rear looks to be too small. Also, GT-C normally uses different type of lugnuts which goes into the wheel. I guess the way you are doing works as well(extending the studs).

Is that your real license plate or did you photoshop it?

According to Mark at DaliRacing you should lengthen the studs reguardless on an NSX. He uses Corvette studs which have the same 12x1.5 thread depth but are longer.

This is not correct. If your wheels are sized correctly and you are not running any spacers, then you do not need longer studs. I think you are supposed to get 6.5 turns on your lugnuts or more.

Thats the first thing I noticed when I changed my wheels. I can get all 4 powder coated for $75 but it would require me to disassemble them. I'm lazy haven't done it yet.

What is the purpose of extending the bolts if you don't use the length? Does the 1/2" that sticks out magically provide improved steering Looks dumb if you ask me.

No doesn't help steering, obviously...

Do what myself? Powder coat? I couldn't even if I wanted to. I do all the repairs to my cars Just got done changing head gasket and rod bearings in my Accord.

Since I dont drive the NSX much it's not on my high priority list. I need to do the timing belt and water pump on the NSX, probably wont get around to that until this summer.

The dark grey looks good. I have a set of racing hart M5's on mine. I wish they had a darker grey.

I did! but I went with the same color they came with. If I was to do it again I would go with a darker grey. Live and learn I guess.
