My NSX-R wheel project

[NZNick]

Hi James - thanks for posting - I would post more but sadly don't have much to say most of the time.
On the subject of colouring wheels, would it be possible to anodise NSX wheels, and if so, would this provide the type of fine finish that powder coating can't achieve? Just a thought.
I found this: - https://fractory.com/aluminium-anodi...inium_Benefits which may be of some use in the future.

I nearly made a spontaneous NA2 wheel purchase, but manages reign myself in. You have probably noticed my Build Thread post have dried up too, but that's because I'm overseas until august and my car is just sitting in ML Motorsport waiting on MoT then storage until I get back. Then I will pose about a million photos of my completely refreshed car.

Cheers
Jim

Hi Jim,

I think your build thread is the best thing to happen to NSXCB for a while. I look forward to seeing the rest of the story.
I’m terrible for perusing the classified looking for parts. Most of which I absolutely do not need. Wheels are my biggest weakness. If I had the money, I’d have a stockpile of them. Certainly; type-S, NA2R, Ce28’s, mugen mf 10’s and maybe some Enkei nt-03’s. But there’s probably £40k’s worth of wheels there!

I think they added at least 20k to the price - nice sale :-D

I’m a real sucker for anodised parts. Probably from all the years of mountain-biking. At one time that industry couldn’t do anything without anodising the hell out of it. I’ve not heard of doing it with car wheels, but googled it and found some great looking wheels with great finishes. I always wanted to put some trans red or green wheels on my black car, but never had the nerve to do it.
Going back to wet painted vs powder coated. I just prefer the wet painted finish. It’s arguably a bit marginal, but it just looks better to me.
Reference not posting much. Things have just changed. I there is no nexus of members enthusiastically organising meets and track days, and our cars are worth too much!

Cheers.
