has anyone seen these wheels on an ITR? look like the ITR wheel, but in 16". Pics or photoshops would be appreciated.

 

Hey John, buy them for my car and we'll see how they look

 

maybe one day

 

Awww, are you still mad that I bought the EK out from under you?

 

post a type r sideways.. i'll attach the wheels

 

 

would look better if car pic had no wheels or wheel pic had calipers brakes behind it.. here it is without the rotors/brakes

 

 

looks ugly...the finish is too light for the yellow paint.

 

Did you really nned to do a photosop? They're just 16 inch versions of the stock mags. By the way it looks great. I was considering buying NSX 16 inch wheels a while back.

NSX wheels:

 

I think they look pretty good. I agree with color being little bit too light tho.

 

What were you planning to do regarding hubcentric rings? Remember, the bore holes in the NSX 16 inch wheels are larger than the ITR (70 mm vs 64 mm).

 

Never needed one. Been driving without it....

 

Click here for the NSX FAQ section on wheels, and scroll down to the heading "What About Hub Rings / Adapters / Spacers?". Read that section.

Also, from the Tire Rack website:

"The centerbore of a wheel is the size of the machined hole on the back of the wheel that centers the wheel properly on the hub of the car. This hole is machined to exactly match the hub so the wheels are precisely positioned, minimizing the chance of a vibration. With a hubcentric wheel, the lug hardware will not be supporting the weight of the vehicle, all they really do is press the wheel against the hub of the car. Some wheels use high quality, forged centering rings that lock into place in the back of the wheel. This is acceptable alternative."

Hubcentric rings are needed for hubcentric wheels on any car, not just the NSX (or the ITR), whenever you're using wheels with a different center bore size from the hub of the car they're on. Hondas/Acuras use hubcentric wheels. Get hubcentric rings if you don't want to snap your lug studs. Driving without them is a VERY BAD IDEA.

here's with similar shade as stock

 

I like. I think i'm gonna get a set and have'm painted gunmetal. I know i can get them for 700ish new.

 

hubcentric rings cost about 10-25 dollars... less money than the damage you can do without having them

you can get these from your local performance/tire shop...

specify that you want 64.15mm ID (type r wheel hub) and 70mm OD (or whatever center bore size)

 

john....if you are gonna sell the oem wheels, im interested......i need a set...those 17in K1's were on my car when i got it......

 

would i still need this with the RSX wheels?

 

I don't know. You'll have to find out the size of the center bore of the RSX wheels. (The size of the center bore is simply the diameter of the big hole in the middle of the wheel.) If it's the same 64.15 mm as the ITR, then you won't need any hubcentric rings.

 

Sweeet. according to http://www.fastco.ca/2002%20Web%20Ap...%20&%20PL1.pdf they're the same center bore.
