The wheels Simmy is selling would you everything you just asked for, and for a pretty good price I'd bet. You will need to do some fender work though.

What about the works Nick is selling? Those are concave and are amazing wheels.

The rears are concave, the fronts are a bit less concave.

Although, Louis might be able to split the sets with someone. Nik's wheels are 17x8 +45 / 17x9 +45. They are a really good size and offset.

Here is a link to his wheels:

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/944...s-work-ryvers/

Also Lou, when doing staggered tires I would recomment the following:

225/45/17 & 255/40/17
215/45/17 & 245/40/17

Visually these match height wise so the tires will look the same on the front and rear wheels. Just something to consider if you're considering running a staggered set up (with tires at least). The 8/9 +45 is a really good sizing to do this with.

PS: If you find your self on my side of town hie me up sometime. I haven't see you since the end of the year meet.

RPF1s are a flat face, they arent concave at all. even the 17x10s that im getting arent concave but you get about a 1-2" lip on them. the only way you get a big lip on an s2000 is going widebody. unfortunately we have about the least supported offset because its just not common.

Simmy has the Enki RPF's. I do not know how much he is asking but they are 17x9 +45 all around I believe. That is still a good sizing in the front but you will have to be a little more careful with your front fenders. If you go this route a 245/40/17 tire all around would look good and give you a bit more clearance everywhere.

I'm not sure how the 225/255 set up would look on the same size wheels, but I'll see if I can find you some examples.

This is they type of wheel Simmy is selling:

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/797...1-thread-pt-2/

Look through that thread. There are tons of different fitments and tire sizings. You should be able to find almost everything you would need. Keep in mind these sizing will pretty much work for any wheel so if you set a set up you like point it out and we can help out even more.

What do you think about the Rota torques? Or Grid?

the 17x9 grids in a +42 would fit ok and give you kinda a concave look to it you most likely would want to run 255 non staggered on them though and pull the front fenders pretty good. i have had a few sets of the torques and you dont really get concave until you go to the 18x9.5 +30s, which i liked the look when i had them on my subie

Rota torques need to be in a +30 or lower to get the concave last time I checked.
Im not a huge fan of grids.
You can get the work emo cr kais for around a grand used all day in the classifieds sections.

Get ready for a bunch of Rota haters to come out to bash.
