Default Gun metal grey type r wheels.

I've seen these wheels and I am really interested in them. I have a 95 Civic Coupe that I plan to drop a 98 Spec ITR motor in and I'd like to get my hands on a set of these. Anyone got any info on how and where I can get a set of these new or used for a decent price along with the center caps? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're referring to NSX wheels, they won't fit. Quite aside from size and offset and centerbore - details I won't bore you with - the NSX wheels have five lugs and your Civic has four.

How are you going to deal with the fact that the offset and center bore (and size) are different for the two front NSX wheels from the two rear NSX wheels?

You might want to consider getting a set of the gunmetal wheels from an Integra Type R instead. Not only do they look almost identical, but the size and width and other characteristics (and the fact that all four are the same) will be a better match for a Civic. And oh yes, they usually cost about half as much or less as a set of '94-96 NSX wheels.

What he said. ^ Just get the ITR wheels and powdercoat them the color you desire. Problem solved.

No need to powdercoat them. The stock wheels on the '00-01 ITR are already gunmetal colored, same color (Solaris Silver) as the wheels on the '94-96 NSX.

Sets of four mint condition used gunmetal ITR wheels typically change hands for $500-600, sets with curbing or gouges for $350-450.

I assume he was talking about ITR wheels as well, but I imagine Nsxtasy was thinking he meant NSX wheels as this is the NSX forum . Then again, this might be the better forum to post in since this has all of 10 topics at any given time while the ITR forum has thousands.............
