they look like konig imagine..

 

Strange, my friend used to have the SAME CA license plates.

 

Nice wheels. Kinda look like the BBS LM's (my fav) but a little more expensive and a lot heavier. Hope you sell them for asking price.

But please, when you get your new wheels, please lower that bad boy! The fender gap in the pics is killing me.

Anyway, hope you sell them.

 

Different tires front and rear???

 

Yes most nsx that you will see will have differnt brand tires front and back, due to the limited amount of same brand tires size. You rarely see the same brand all the way around with NSXs, unless you have stock rims. Both my nsxs are like this.

They do look like bbs lm, but i would have to disagree with the weight diff. Bbs lms are heavy as heck, bend and dent easy and are to flat in the face with no lip deepth. WORK rims are the best made jdm rims on the market, and weigh a fraction of bbs or any other rims. This is why you see most of the show NSXs with them.

These were spacially made by work for my nsx and only one more set have ever been made, so there almost one of a kind.

Like konig image, please..... Those are cheaply made rims and arent even avail as an option for the nsx....


THanks guys.

woooowwww

 

Not true. Not true at all. Of course, you've never been to an NSX Club event. How many NSXs have you ever seen? I've seen hundreds, and easily well over 98 percent are smart enough to use the same brand and model tires front and rear, so that the handling is predictable.

Using different tires front and rear is just a bad idea.

You are correct about the wheel weights. In a comparable size, 18x10, the Works are 3lbs lighter. In the NSX appropriate sizes and offsets, the weights are about the same.

But the rest of your post reeks of bad information.

There a number of tires models out there that work great for your NSX sizes. Bridgestone, BFG, Kumho, and Michelin, in my quick check, make sizes that would fit your wheels. In fact, the Ecsta comes in 235/40/18 front and 275/35/18 and those would work great. Well, you may have some rubbing issues. Maybe not with all that fender space though . But at the very least, they would perform better than mismatched tires. And I RARELY see NSX's with mismatched tires. I have seen two in my 3 years of ownership. One at NSXPO '03 and one at a dealership lot. Make that three including yours. It's a bad idea - show car or not.

About the same, no and not really and they look good to me!

Ahhh, ok. Sure.

Look up wheel weights. And "a fraction?" is pretty strong wording when one can name off at least four 18x8 and 18x10 wheels that are quite a bit lighter than your precious Works. TE-37, CE28N, SSR Competitions, SSR Integrals, blah, blah, blah.

I know you want to sell these but overembellishment is something most potential buyers can see thru pretty easily. For one, there are only two sets of your Work wheels ever made and yet most show NSX's have these. Are there only two show NSX's? Or are you meaning to say Work wheels appear on most show NSX's? I gotta say, most show NSX's I've seen have either HRE, Fikse, or Volk wheels. Not saying that Work doesn't have their share but blanket statements like yours, well, don't hold water very well.

Not true, there's a guy in AZ on NSXPrime that has a set of 17/18's on his NSX. Do a search.

Your welcome. I know my post sounds harsh but you've got to post accurate information or get rid of the all encompassing "these wheels are the best" statements.

In any event, hope these sell.

 

Those won't work great, Ponyboy. The TCS won't work at all, and will cause fits. (The front size is more than 10 percent bigger outer diameter than the '91-93 stock tire.)

As a general rule, you can't really go much wider than stock in front without rubbing on the fender wells. The front is a much bigger constraint than the rear.

That's why most folks with NSXs who get aftermarket wheels don't go any bigger than 17" front and 18" rear - for which there are LOTS of sizes that work.

 

That's a load of crap. Almost every NSX runs the same model tire all around. People who mix tires are (pick one):

(a) clueless people who don't know any better
(b) clueless people who think they are "tuning their handling" (HAH!)
(c) cheap people who can't afford to keep matched tires all around
(d) people who have whacked out wheel sizes and can't find tires to fit

 

Good point. Which is why, TCS should be disengaged if you do use those sizes.

 

nstasy, as a general rule, TCS would work if the ratio b/t front and rear was less than 5%, right? So he'd want to go with a 225 or 215 and around 40 then or go with an even bigger rear tire? What are the calculations?

Questions, questions, questions.

 

Not exactly. It works if the ratio of the outer diameters (front vs rear) is within 5 percent of the stock ratio (in which the rear diameter is 7.75 percent larger than the front, for '91-93). Even 5 percent may set off the TCS - remember, tire wear alone can account for 2 percent of the outside diameter - so you really ought to keep the ratio within roughly 3.5 percent of stock. Thus, if you increase one end by x percent, the increase at the other end should be between (x - 3.5) percent and (x + 3.5) percent. For example, if you use 275/35-18 on the rear, which is 2.9 percent bigger than the '91-93 stock, you ought to use a front size whose outer diameter is no more than 6.4 percent greater than stock.

I think the most common sizes used by folks getting bigger aftermarket wheels are 215/40-17 front, and either 255/35-18 or 265/35-18 rear.

There are lots of tire size calculators on the web and some show you the percent change in outer diameter between two tire sizes. One example is here.

FIRST OFF....

WHO CARES ABOUT THE TIRES THERE BASICALLY BEING THROWN IN FOR FREE, IF YOU DONT LIKE THEM THEN CHANGE THEM OUT.

The price in selling these are the same at SOS but minus the shipping and having to wait 3 months for them to be built. These are basically new with no sign of use or wear, so stop busting my chops about the stupid tires... You guys addressed the issue about them now move on.


nsxer....

Look dont waste the peoples reading with your dumb *** remarks, and showing your egnorance.

If you owned an nsx you would know that tire wear for our beast are horrible, and options for tire selection is limited. Yea you could get the same brand, but your looking at rubbing, when you move up to the available size. Most people who have them have differnt tire setups, like myself on both of my nsxs.

If you acually owned an nsx you wouldnt even think about saying those kind of remarks to a fellow nsx owner. Plus, your remarks are dumb and shows your hate for a perosn who owns the beast we all love the nsx.

If your not intersted in the rims then dont waste my time with your stupid remarks and keep them to yourself. I could sit here all day and make pointless cracks at you, like if you have an nsx and you still have stock rims you must of spent all your money on getting the car.


Nsxtc....

"the Ecsta comes in 235/40/18 front and 275/35/18 and those would work great....."

You are right that with that set up i could get both same brands, but both those set ups RUB. Most in the front you can go with on an 18 for the nsx is a 225/35/18 and in the back is 265/30/18.... You could use the 275 but im not beating my wheel well in oder to clear.

How many meets have i been to you ask, lets see... As an nsx owner of two, i make it a point to get around to every meet that i can...What about you... Hmm dont reconize your name, check the roster of nsxpo.

Point blank nsxr.....

Please refer to the facs sheets on prime, and youll see that this is a common application for aftermarket rims to use different brands. You clearly havent or you wouldnt of made those stupid remarks. Before you go and making rude stupid un educated comments a demeaning remarks about someone who you dont know... RESEARCH IT!

What it boils down to is that this site is full of nothing but ******** and haten people.

IF YOU CANT AFFORD THE RIMS AND DONT WANT TO BUY THEM, SAVE YOUR DUMB REMARKS FOR SOMEONE WHO CARES, AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT POST!

If you actually met with a lot of people who owned NSXs, you would know that most people who have them DO have different tire setups. I have been to every NSXPO and have met almost everyone at every event, which means around 300 or so owners once you remove the duplication from those who have attended more than one. And very very few use different tire setups front and rear. It's like Ponyboy (who I met when he attended his first NSXPO two months ago) says, there may be one car at an entire NSXPO of 100 cars that has mismatched tires.

That quote was made by Ponyboy. Please do not attribute it to me, and please spell my username correctly.

Something tells me that you're not exactly telling the truth here. So, let's take a look at the facts and let everyone decide for himself:

1. I was in charge of four of the first five NSXPOs, and spoke at the other two. If you had attended, you would know the name.

2. I have been an officer of the NSX Club of America since its founding in 1998. If you were attending club events as a club member, you would know the name.

3. As the club's treasurer, I maintain the club's membership database, which includes everyone who has ever been a member of the NSX Club (approximately 1800 members in total, including the 1039 current members). And remember, you must be a member of the club in order to attend NSXPO and other club events. So it's easy to see from the club's database whether or not your claims are true.

According to your h-t.com profile, your name is William P. and you live in Memphis. Total number of club members in Tennessee with first name William or Bill: Zero. Total number of club members in the Memphis area who have ever attended NSXPO: Zero. Total number of club members with THEPOG in their e-mail address: Zero. Total number of club members using your ISP: Zero.

So I can only conclude that the statement you make above is false. Either that, or the information in your h-t.com profile is false. Either way, you're just trying to blow smoke up someone's butt. If you're going to tell lies, don't tell ones that are so easy to verify.

Wrong. The Tire Tech section of the FAQ on NSXprime is located at http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/TireWheel/tiretech.htm and nowhere in that section does it state or imply that different tires should be used in the front from the rear.

Wrong. Options for tire selection on the OEM wheels are many. The stock tire sizes are very common and most high-performance tires are available in the stock sizes.

Tire selection is limited only for those who get wheels whose sizes don't work very well for the NSX, for which tire availability is limited. Those who get the most common sizes of aftermarket wheel (17" front, 18" rear) find plenty of different tires available for those wheels, including the tire sizes that I (not Ponyboy) mentioned above.

Sounds to me like you are trying to justify selling wheels that don't really work well for the NSX, due to their limited tire availability. In other words, you're trying to justify your own poor choice of wheels in order to find some sucker who thinks they're going to work on an NSX without problems and limited tire choices.

Does that include someone who's trying to scam NSX owners into buying his wheels even though they're a bad choice for the NSX?

So you're saying that you're allowed to post about wheels that don't really work on the NSX, for which tire availability is a major problem, but we're not allowed to warn other folks to the scam you're trying to pull.

Holy crap man, I was going to reply to your BS but "nsxtasy" already destroyed you on all counts.

Your attempts to redirect the attention off your BS claims by throwing out guesses that I'm not an NSX owner, or maybe I am an NSX owner but have stock wheels, or maybe I can't afford a set of aftermarket wheels were pretty funny though. Are you Miss Cleo? Because I don't know how else you would think you know so much about me.

 

Hey sucka, in addition to your facts get individuals straight.

Which is why you should have went with 17 fronts. But I was trying to help and justify some tires you could have went with so that your handling wasn't atrocious. Plus, you could have had your pick of some really well performing tires.

None. I don't usually go to meets. And if I do, my horns, forked tail, red complexion, and "Muhahahaha!" introduction usually deters people from saying, "Howdy." Why is that? Seriously, I went to NSXPO '02 and had a blast. Even with my stock wheels! 'Ya should've been there Pug.

Anyway, glad you sold them - I think. Hopefully, the person who bought them can put the appropriate tires on.

Hi Pot, this is Kettle. How YOU doin'?

You know I was going to let all of the spelling infractions pass but. . .if you're going to call me a name you at least have to spell it right. Hey, StUnnA Pug , it's "hat-i-n-g people." And you're right, if someone is expelling verbal diarrhea in this forum, they get called out on it. If that makes me a brown starfish or a "hata," so be it.

See you at the next NSX meet!

THEPOGNSXTC,
Can you explain, in detail, how it feels to get served like that? Thanks.

pretty interesting.
