Default Tecnomagnesio Wheels

Not sure if these guys make wheels that fit a Lexus, but my GF is looking at a set of them for her NSX and I thought the wheel gurus here might have heard of them. Dali Racing carries them.

Anybody heard anything about these? Sorry about the crappy pic, bad conversion.

Better pic of wheel.

IMO looks a bit like a SSR Competition or Rays T-37? to my untrained eye in styling.

Yep, they're Italian and come with a side of pasta and garlic bread. However, they do come in 18-inch by 10 inch size as well.

Here's a link to the Dali Racing site where they sell them. She'd probably get 17s in front and 18s in back (stock is 16 in front and 17 in back).

They seem a little heavy for the design (18x10 is >22 lbs) but maybe the magnesium adds some extra atomic weights...

best looking 6-spoke wheel on the NSX: dark blue TE37 MAG, period

I don't really like the looks of this wheel. TE37s look better. TE37MAG suits NSX even more (but costs alot)

Globe - ever seen any pics (or happen to have any in your vast collection of images ) with those wheels on an NSX? I'm not sure how the blue would look with a black NSX, would be better on white or silver.

Acctis - check the Dali Racing link I put up higher for sizes they sell. I've got to assume the MIM site is out of date like many of the wheel manufacturers seem to be. Some of the NSXs pictured on the Dali site definitely have 18" wheels on the rear.

Thanks all.

Unfortunately I do not have many images of the NSX but I saw them before, a black NSX with the dark blue TE37 MAG. Looks MAGNIFICENT!! really mean and aggressive look, and the dark blue gives the car a racing appearance.

maybe i'll photoshop some tonight or something.
