Default 17" w/18"

I was think of getting 18" DD Anthracite bullits for the back. Would it look good if i left the 17" in the front... tryin not to empty my pockets completely.

Someone on here has a pic of a car with that set up. I'm sure they'll chime in.

I was going to do that but I wanted that extra 1/2" so I stuck with all 17's. I love the staggered look. I say DO IT!

Just do it, the NSX comes stock with different size wheels. Only problem will be tires as they will be pricy so check out brands and sizes before doing anything.

The only thing is that the tires i have right now are almost new and if i got new rims for the rear i would want to use my old (17's) for the strip. so i would probably just get the same tires i have right now (michelin pilot a/s) only for 18s and when i burn up the 17s at the strip get some drag radials. Sound like a good plan?

40thblackgt has that set up, but to get it to look good you have to lower the front some more. Don't you have the anniversery wheels which are a different color, that the anthracite wheels offered here.
