Wheels....?
I have a JDM S2000 and am currently trying to decide on what wheels to get, it currently has the jdm bbs 16's but I am just not sure I really like them as much as I should.... I keep looking at threads with BBS LM, Blitz 01's and Work VS wheels and think I should really get a set of splitrims.
My BBS's are soon due a new pair of rear tyres so now would be a great time to find a set of wheels to replace them, but again I am not sure if I should?
My car looks similar to this but no drilled brakes and not this low (yet)
Here are the wheels I am currently considering, Opinions are appreciated to help me decide
BBS LM's
Blitz 01's
Work VS
Sorry couldnt find a pic with a Silver s2
Or should I get a set of OEM 17's and lower it (not this much)
Should I keep the OEM JDM wheels or get a set of 17's as above?
I should be ordering my suspension in the next week and it will be a similar height to my old s2 pictured below
Whatever wheels I get I do not want to do any arch rolling so I am guessing it will not be as low or wide as the above cars.
Any ideas on which ones would suite a silver s2k best?

JDM BBS are the best S2000 wheels ever
All the alternatives are horrible bar the OEM 17s which are ok.
More importantly, what happened to the old car?
And how is your ASBO/MILF count?

Of that lot the VS-XX would get my vote
Although the LM's are more desirable they are very heavy - at least 8lbs a corner heavier than your current JDM BBS and at least 4lbs heavier than the Work's, so you'd get the bling and rareness with the Works without the baggage.
The problem you will find with your list is trying to get the correct offsets without having to fiddle with arches. S2000 offsets are very weak :ghey:
OEM 17's are the safe choice.

Of those only the 04/05 OEM 17s look good.
I can't remember who had Rota Fighters on Silverstone, but I thought they were the nicest reasonably-priced aftermarket wheels I'd seen.
