So I've had these NSX wheels in the garage for months and have finally decided to get them worthy of gracing the S2K. These are 4 rear wheels that will go on each corner wrapped in 255/40 rubber.

Shot of the wheels before sanding:


There were some light scratching/curbing on a few of the wheels and I used some bondo spot puddy to clean them up.


Curbage taken care of.


A shot of all them prepped and ready for paint.


So now I need to decide what color to paint them. I've pretty much decided to paint them gloss black. The shiny black will match my BB hardtop. It may look funny when I'm top down though. Flat black seems kind of played to me and I like things to shine. Any other suggestions on color?

Here is a shot of the car last summer with the 16's on front and 17's on the rear. These that I've prepped are all 17X8.5. Enjoy. I'll update as I progress in the restoration.

 

Gloss black would look good

I think gloss black would be hot. Your car is screaming for a drop.

 

It screams for a supercharger too

 

Flat black or anything dark will look good to match your HT.

 

Champ White! I'm planning to powder coat my nsx wheels white this summer along with some white center caps with "H" logo. I think 7 spoke style rims look really good in white, but that's just me..

 

you can't go wrong with black and thats a fact

 

If you do go with black, please don't go with a gloss.. A nice flat black would be nice though, like this:



(wheels my friend had refinished a matte black..)

 

Flat black looks great but most that do black seem to do flat. So, to be somewhat different I went with a nice gloss black. I did 4 coats of black and 2 coats of clear. I think they turned out nice and will post pics later today.
