Hey Phong (SP1): these wheels should be your plan B
If you can't get your formula 5s in soon enough, or don't want to wait, you should check out these Volks, the ones I was telling you about, and they come in gunmetal:

I stopped by his shop yesterday, and he had a beautiful set of RO_JA formula 5 in gunmetal with a polished lip, 18".
But they are the wrong offset. I believe they are made for the Veilside bodykit with the rear fender flares. You can see how the rears will stick out past the fender:
He wants to get the same formula 5s with a custom made offset. He's definitely more patient than me

Hope you don't mind my 2cents
Ro-Ja does not offer Formula 5 for the S2000 but you can request to have them custom made for a fee.You will be looking in the same price range as the ce28n's.I looked into it last year but they weren't ready to do custom orders. Also the ce28n is a lot lighter than the F5 and carries a little more respect for the money.
One of the New England members bought RJ's wheels from his car.I must say they do look good though.
good luck!

Actually, they're selling them as the fitment for s2000 applications; he called, told them his make/model, and they sent him those. But it is the wrong offset (rear=18x8 +40).

As far as I know the are only offered in +40 offset. I will have to look in my catalog at my shop to see if they offer new offsets.I shoundnt say they dont offer them if you want you can do 18x7 all the way around (but i would like to see 18x9 on the rear)
BTW how is New Orleans? My dad lives down there and want me to come see him.It's been over 23 years though.Not sure if its something I want to do. But it is an excuse to travel

Eddie,
Thanks for the idea. I actually was thinking about getting the HRE's but decided I'm going to stick with the RO_JA. I don't know why but I really like these wheels. There's another show coming here August 16. My rims, body kit, stereo should all be here and put on. (I HOPE ) Thanks for letting me use your car for my booth next weekend
Twiztid,
One of my vendors are going to custom make the wheels for me. It's going to take around 4-6weeks. I been waiting this long so what's another month.
You need to come down here and visit. Well show you a good time. If you never been to New Orleans your missing out..

Twiztid, funny to see you on the NO forum right now. My wife travels all over the place and she called home last night from Manchester, NH.
It's wet and hot in the New Orleans area today.
