thanks guys for all the comments good and bad!
I know the black face is common but I REALLY like the matte black - it's not like the standard gloss and really looks better in person than in pictures.
Lip was not a consideration for me as clearing a set of bright yellow BBK's was more important priority for me
Oh wells I love it........for now anyways and I do change rims quite often so we'll see how I feel in a few months.
What I need to do now is really concentrate and get my other red passenger seat in the car!

Actually with any wheel you have a trade-off in terms of lip size and caliper clearance. I have some custom Brembo's that will be going on this car and these wheels were custom made to clear them.
My e46 m3 has 3" rear lips and will clear my Brembo's but if I had say 4" lips, then the Brembo's will hit the wheel spokes.
Some cars look good with lip and the NSX ImO is not one of them...same goes for P-cars, I like flush wheels

Appreciate all the comments good and bad - I seriously wanted Work Meister s1r's again like my s2000 on the NSX but I feel this wheel fits the car better....
I'm itching for a set of white Advan rims but happy for now
Snapped a few more pics with my 40d:
