wondering the cost for a set of nsx wheels...like the 98 and above..the multi spoked ones..will only the front fit on ITRs?..curious

 

There are too many differences to fit them onto the ITR very easily. The offset is different (55 mm NSX front, 50 mm ITR), and the center bore (size of the hole in the middle) is different (70 mm vs 64 mm) so you would need to fabricate some hubcentric rings. Plus, I know the 15" ones won't clear the ITR suspension unless you use spacers, and I'm not sure whether or not the 16" ones will. (The NSX rear wheels are even worse; although the center bore is the same, the offset is 60 mm.) And they're expensive (discount prices are $700 per wheel new; sets of four typically sell for $1500-2000, depending on condition, or more if they have tires on them). All in all, not worth it.

hey thanks..for the 411

 

No prob.

I wanted to use some extra NSX wheels I had for my ITR - even went so far as to try getting hubcentric rings at the Tire Rack - but eventually gave up and got some extra ITR wheels (which are relatively easy to come by).

 

So the 16x7 55 offset wont fit under an R eh? Not even if you get 205-45-16 tires?

 

The tires might fit, but what are you going to do about fabricating hubcentric rings? And why would you be going to all this trouble, considering how expensive the NSX wheels are?

 

ask BabyNSX from the itr forum. he's done this with the 4 nsx fronts and i'm sure he'll help you out.

 

NSX 7 spoke fronts fit on 97+ preludes right? I read that somewhere...

 

They are rather cheap around here where I live. Ask MIGS he has my book with ALL the prices!!!

 

I can get a BRAND NEW set of 16x7 NSX wheels (4 front) and NEW tires for a smokin price. So dont go assuming that they are "expensive" just yet.

I understand the whole hubcentric ring but I remember I had a set of Desmond Regamasters and Dave @ R&D said we didnt have to use them. The hub of the wheel didnt even match up with the hub on the rotor.

 

New wheels alone, without tires but with center caps, are $653 each at Dali Racing, which generally has the best discounts around. If you can get them for much less than that, I'd love to find out where, and what some of their other prices are.

Then Dave doesn't know jack sh*t.

Using wheels with larger bore holes without hubcentric rings is a very, very bad idea. Go here and scroll down to the section that says "What About Hub Rings / Adapters / Spacers?".
