Hey, guys! I'm in the middle of an NSX kit from Tamiya........ I would really love to be able to put something on it besides the factory wheels. Would anyone of you happen to have a set of racing wheels you don't have plans for? They can be used, that's fine! They would get painted white, most likely. I would need the tires too. I have all four of these three wheel sets I could send in trade........

They can be from a kit, they don't need to be aftermarket...........

Let me know if you'd like to help, thanks!

Good morning, Gerry! It's the first generation Honda/Acura kit that I'm working on....... As for wheels, I believe maybe Volks wheels or similar would look really cool! Maybe even BBS wheels would work. If they were square, I may could use the factory wheels to widen the rears, maybe?

Lots of options for BBS mesh-type wheels. I don’t know what size/offset would work with an NSX.

Off the top of my head, the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz 500SEC “Lorinser” (a German tuner” has BBS wheels. So does the Monogram 20th Anniversary Firebird. The Mercedes is out of production and expensive. I don’t know about the Firebird.

You mean like these TJ?

Looks like a rough ride but they'd probably keep the model from rolling off the shelf.

That's what happens when you brake just a little too hard , you flat-spot the tires. 

Like our "Big Wheels" when we were kids.....

These are tire/wheel parts that I will have to check to see if I still have them.  I believe, many, if not all, are same size front/rear.  If interested in any, I will check the wheel stash to confirm I still have them.
