Guess what? Now they do! Mita announced last few days they are making 10 sets, reproduction in 17". Will make more if there is demand.

Forged. Offset that won't require body mods. Similar but slightly wider than stock 17".

Mita is a very reputable JDM vendor that is reproducing a lot of parts for our cars.

If they are in japan, and make parts for japan, then those parts are for the jdm. Perhaps rhats a misuse of the accepted definition. Sorry. Regardless of pedantic semantics, the company has a solid rep.

Note, their reproductions aren't cheap reps of aftermarket wheels and such. They are supplying oem replicas of hard to find stuff. Like interior plastics. oem quality stuff.

They also make reps of the oem wheels. In different widths and offsets, including stock. They also make nsx rep wheels that fit the S.

Now they make a replica of the ap1 bbs forged wheels, except they've modified rbe design to be 17", and ap2 width and offset (slightly wider than stock actually I think,but no fender mods needed).
