No I think the NSX never caught on because it was so much more expensive than cars with comparable or even better performance like the 996 or a Corvette C5. Seriously, the post-1997 NSXs had an msrp of around $90k, made it hard for consumers to justify buying it over a 996. But on the other hand it made it rarer and more exclusive
Also you're right about the stock rims, they were pretty nasty up until the facelift circa 2003 (i think), then when they switched to that 7-spoke 17f/18r" setup I thought they looked a whole lot better, also liked the clear headlights as opposed to the popups.
