I went with:
17"x9" rear with a 60mm offset
&
17"x8" front with a 50mm offset.
This should give me clearance for lowering.
I was debating between the all black wheels or the black with machined lip. I went with the all black.

I've been looking at black with the machined lip.

I don't do autocross or go to the track but it does sound like fun. Is there any place around the Albany area to do that?

As far as tracks go, you can run at Lime Rock Park (hour and a half from Albany) or Watkins Glen (3 hours from Albany). Groups that welcome the S2000 in stock trim are NASA NE and SCDA.
Thanks...I will definitely have to check it out

If you do come, be sure to stop by and say Hi. I will be driving a Laguna Blue Pearl with the factory hardtop and should definitely be there on 4/21 which is a points event. The 4/20 event is a test and tune and is not a points scoring event, so I may skip on showing up that day.

You're starting to stray into dangerous territory. First you get the bug. Then you get the disease. Then you find that there is no cure. Then you just give up and live with the chronic illness.
There are several current threads in these Upstate Forums: NASA March 30 Track Day thread; Autocross discussion thread; Track Days 2013 thread; and my very own MG On Track thread. I can't speak much for autocross, but a track day is just about the most fun you can have with your pants on.

I have a 2002 S2000 and am in desperate need of tires and am unsure what to buy. The last time I left it up to the salesperson and whatever they put on made the car handle like crap and it wasn't even fun to drive. I commute about 50 miles a day (except for the winter).I don't always drive it in the rain as I have hydroplaned a few times but sometimes it can't be helped. Any suggestions?
Michelins aren't the cheapest...though they do get very high marks for life. They were $700 from Tire Rack incl ship and incl the current $70 rebate offer (4/15/13 expires). 17" OEM AP2 sizes. Mounted and sun local for $65.
Good luck,
Mike

Whenever you get them mounted we have to see pictures, I was looking at white with machined lips
