Perfect fitment IMO. I'm running 225/45 and 255/40
The fronts could use a little bit of a spacer if you wanted to make it more flush but I don't like the idea of spacers myself. The rears sit perfect.
They are a bit pricey, even used for an OEM wheel but I like the clean look myself, so it was worth it.

I'm running the same sizes although I've been thinking about maybe going with a 265 for the rears next time. I decided not to mess with spacers either. FWIW, I actually found mine here on S2KI for $1,700 with tires shipped. Guess I got lucky because it's not very often you see them on here especially at that price with tires including shipping. Brand new, they go for about that much per wheel before tires and shipping.
Oh yeah, I had mine powder coated Cosmic Grey.
The only thing I don't really like about them is the fact that the rear wheels somehow manage to collect brake dust (ZeroPsi, have you noticed this problem?). I'm running AP1 pads which, unlike AP2 pads, are known to not dust very much. I upgraded the rotors thinking that might help, but it didn't so I guess it's just something about the spoke design. 
It's not a big deal though; the brake dust rinses right off if you don't let it cake up on there too long.I don't think I'd recommend them if you plan on slamming the car. FWIW, the offsets are +55 front and +56 rear. They're 7" wide up front and the rears are 9" wide and yeah, they're forged.

Thanks, I'm glad somebody out there likes it. A lot of local people give me sh!t about the lack of center caps. They just didn't look good to me after I had the wheels done because they didn't match. Same deal with the lugnuts and locks, so that's why I bought black ones. Here, see what I mean?

I had Silverstone Rick's badges on my stock wheels and just used those on the NSX ones...Looks better than the major contrast of the oem cap.
Our wheels came out almost the same as far as color with the powdercoating, I have a TON of metallic in it.
