Axxis 7mod (or mod7... ). If the car is still silverstone, they can be gunmetal with a FAT polished lip. That would look PHAT! Or swap them out for a set of the G35 coupe wheels....that would be original.

You don't know the half of it It's not an OEM Skyline rear end. I *believe* the whole transmission (and rear end) is an HKS sequential that is designed for the R34 :-P

I don't mean to flame but I think it would be, well tragic at best to spend all that money to equip his car with the Amuse widebody kit, and then ruin the look with Axxis wheels (or OEM wheels from another car).

Wheel suggestions for me would be

- 18" or 19" Work Meister S1 (two or three piece depending on which had the most flexibility for your setup) in gunmetal with polished lip. they can custom build these wheels for you in almost any fittment.

- 19" Volk GT-C's in gunmetal.

I don't usually go up to 19's on this car, but with those wider fenders I think the car can get away with it. I didn't think I'd like 19's on my buddy's 350Z but once we got them on there . . .

Thank you for the suggestions. I will have looked into those rims already. I am a big fan of the Works. I wont go with 19s though. I want a rim that i can fit a nice thick tire on. We will see what fits under the car when the kit is on. I will keep you all updated. Counting down the days till she is ready.

R34 drivetrain???? Seems stupid to me. Its not off a GTR is it? Have you ever actually seen an R34 GTR Skyline? They are huge, I dont' even think it would fit in the transmission tunnel of the S2000. Thats neat if they made it work, but it's an awfully big heavy trans for an S2000 race car.

As far as i know the best conversion for us is the 240 rear end.

The HKS Sequential Transmission doesnt appear to be that large. if you look at the pics of the amuse motor. Its the Red thing on the back of it, I believe. As far as the rear end goes. From what my friend tells me. The R34 rear end is essentially the same thing as the 350z.

Hey Nick, just found out my kit will be arriving on monday or tuesday of next week. 1 week counting down for me. I'll take pics of the kit as soon as it arrives. Also what head studs are you using? Did AEBS make a set for you? and would they be willing to make another 2 sets. I have a friend that needs them also.
