Default new Advan RSII & Rays 57Xtreme wheels made exclusively for the S2000 on Sale



We have been working with Rays and Yokohama (manufacture of Advan wheels) on a program to offer special discounted pricing and special color option on the following two models of wheels. To achieve this pricing, we are required to purchase a minimum total of 20 pieces. In order to eliminate delays caused by waiting on others to commit, we've stepped up to purchase the 20 pieces in advance. These wheels are already purchased - and are available on a first come first serve basis. There is no need to wait on a group buy.

Working with Yokohama, we designed the RG-D for the S2000, which is available now in 17" diameters. This information was then used to create S2000-specific sizing in the new Advan RGII available in 17" and 18" diameters! In addition, Rays Wheels has a new wheel, the 57Xtreme available in 18" diameters.

The prices that we've arranged are the lowest I've seen in at least five years, so good that I've decided to put a set on two of our own cars! For pricing, please e-mail us the model, size, and color you'd like.

Advan RSII:
The RSII is a brand new wheel from Yokohama. It features side cut spokes which increase rigidity while decreasing weight. The wheel is not an RS with only side cuts on the spokes - it is a completely new wheel made with brand new tooling to Yokohama. The side cuts are molded in rather than machined in as a secondary operation - the increased cross section allows for a rigid wheel with reduced weight. This wheel is available in S2000 exclusive widths and offsets in 17" and 18" diameters.

Colors available: Semi Gloss Black, Hyper Silver (a 2 stage semi-translucent medium silver), and Hyper Black (a 2 stage semi-translucent dark silver) - special order color option available
Sizing available: 17x8+54, 17x9+63, 18x8+54, 18x9+63 (staggered or non-staggered available

Rays 57Xtreme:
The 57Xtreme is Ray's brand new wheel split spoke design with a concave spoked rear wheel. This is a brand new wheel, and ScienceofSpeed is receiving the first sets in the US for the S2000 - we're the launch customer for the NSX & S2000.
Colors available: Matte Graphite & Sunlight Silver
Sizing available: 18x7.5+50, 18x8.5+52

The wheel is available in Matte Graphite (dark silver) or Sunlight Silver (bright silver). Other colors are available ((please e-mail us).

These wheels have already been purchased by ScienceofSpeed and are available on a first come basis. We have RG-D wheels in stock now, and RSII wheels and 57Xtreme wheels arriving in 2-10 weeks (depending on the model & color).

For any wheel not listed, please e-mail info@ScienceofSpeed.com with the model, size, and color you'd like. Our ability to add additional wheels and get the same discounted pricing ends 8/31/12.

thank you,
Chris, Bryan, & Jeff

Thank you for your interested. We've received questions regarding other models such as the RS.

The RG-D (17") and RSII (17" & 18") wheels are the only wheels that are made in S2000 ideal widths and offsets. Other sizes are available - however, they may require fender modification, wide body, or narrower widths than we would normally use. The good news is we can get these other models for the same pricing up to 8/31. So please e-mail us if you're looking for something other than what is listed.

We've been asked if the same pricing can be extended to other models of Rays or Advan wheels, and the answer is yes. The best pricing is on the RS, RSII, and 57Xtreme. However, we can offer attractive pricing on other models as well. Please e-mail what exact model, size, and offset you are interested in.

We've also been asked if this same sale pricing can be extended to other vehicles. As we only specialize in the NSX & S2000 - we prefer to stick to these applications unless you know specifically what you are looking for in regards to the fitment.

When will you have the sets of wheels that you purchased for your shop cars? I would really love to see pictures of the 17x9+63 RSII

The first wheels in that size and offset are shipping to us from Japan now. We have several sets available in the three colors mentioned. As soon as we have a set on a customer's car, we'll share some photos.

cheers,

Thanks Chris. Maybe I can swing down by the shop at some point when the RSII wheels come in so I can see them in person .

The face is the same as the front wheel shown here:
