They won't have them. I have been trying for years to get OEM NSX Zanardi Edition wheels for my NSX every time I stumble across one of these sites. I always call and they never have any, because they are essentially just checking a database for junkyards across the US. One of them even wanted me to send in payment by credit card to "put the order out" and they said if they don't come up with anything then they don't charge the card. Riiiiiight. Beware of deals that seem to good to be true. There are two sets on ebay right now though, starting at $3k. Have you checked to see if the offsets will even work on non-widebody cars? I was surprised to learn that the rear wheel is only 9.5" wide, which I thought was kind of wimpy for such a mean car. It still gets the job done just fine, but if you want aggressive fitment then it's not ideal.

They are definately not OEM, and certainly copies/imitations. Be cautious with deals that sound too good to be true. Why would anyone sell a wheel that goes for over $1,300 per rim at the dealership, for only $320? Just food for thought... Structural integrity of a rim is important...you wouldn't wanna be driving at 140+ mph and have the rims fall apart. Too risky. Cheers!
