Has anyone ever done this..or known anyone that has done this...and/or have pictures of cars with these on them?
Got any knowledge about possible problems with clearance, rubbing, alternate tire sizes needed to be used or ???
I know they supposedly bolt right up, but from there I need to make sure about the tire & rubbing issue...and I'd like to see pics of how it would look like ahead of time.
All help is appreciated...
Thanks!

Those are the ones that I want to see a picture of how they would look and that I am curious about how they will fit.
They seem to be asking $175-$200 each for these older style NSX wheels on eBay with the above auction asking $695 ($700 or $175 each) for the set w/o tires...and another guy on Craig's List has a set for $450 off his '91 NSX.
My guy is asking for an even trade of my OEM Prelude blades for the NSX wheels.
Thoughts...?

yeah, those rims have pretty fat/thick spokes, and i dont see many people decreasing wheel size when they change wheels.
have you guys ever seen those wheels with thin spokes that become invisible when the car is moving? so you just see the wheel's lip/tires, and the brake calipers. those are awesome ;D
^ I disagree with the fanboi. Thin spokes look retarded to me. Wagon wheels should only be on wagons. However, I don't think this particular style would look good on a Prelude. As for 15" rims, tons of people do it for drag rubber in the front.

Those would look ok, but you could get some much better looking/lighter weight wheels for $1500. If you are looking to spend that much, get some volks.

That's the thing with having something that's different from what everyone else has. There will be haters...but lucky for me, I don't care. I like them. Everyone else's opinion is irrelevant.
So, advice to OP: If you like the nsx wheels, buy them. I personally don't think they would look good, but it's not my car and not my money. You are the one that will have to look at them everyday. If you are going for the OEM wheel look, another option are the 17" RSX-S wheels which are well documented and look better than the stock wheels, but they are pretty plain and everybody else already has them.

I was agreeing with your statement while disagreeing with your taste in dental floss wheels.

i dont get whats wrong with thin spokes? not really sure why they are "wagon" wheels. thick ones just look like wheel covers. and for the people who paint their brake calipers or get colored ones would appreciate thinner spokes. and BBS wheels tend to be quite thin, and they look great on STIs and EVOs.
@indylude18; i... wasnt actually picturing them THAT thin xD just something with more clearance. but those arent bad looking either.
however, i may view cars differently because im also into muscle cars (dont ask me why i bought a lude though ;p), thin spokes/deep dish look pretty nice on muscle cars.
I got this reply about the 2nd gen NSX "wagon wheels:
>>>the rear wheels are 17x8.5 the fronts are 16x7. The fronts should work without issue, they might rub a little, but I had some rear s2000 wheels (same size) on the front of my prelude for a little while and they didn't rub unless i hit a decent sized bump or pothole. the rear fenders will most likely need to be rolled (it probably wouldn't hurt to do the front too) if you get a lower profile tire (45 or 40) you may not need to roll the fenders.<<<
My question is, how about the fit of the first generation ('91-'93) NSX wheels?
Will I still have to "roll" the fenders?
Dumb question...what is "roll the fenders" & how does one do that?
Before & after pics of rolled fenders anyone?
