Beautiful car, slo_guy! What brake setup are you using? I want to run the Spoon calipers, but I'm quite sure it would require the use of spacers, which in turn would change the scrub radius. I don't want to upset the handling characteristics that were originally engineered into the car. I assumed Mugen took this into consideration when theu chose the offsets for these wheels. I noticed the MF10 are also in the same offsets.

I went with the Endless BBK set up because somebody told me his Spoon calipers ended up fading in color. With that said, I had to run spacers. And yes, they are the same offsets as the MF10s.

Well I hope the fade won't be too bad with these. Evasive suggested Eight Prince with studs. 15mm and 20mm

I wasn't able to find many pictures of Mugen GP wheels on an S2k, especially one in the same colorway as my own car (Silverstone). So here goes nothing...
It's blurry, but here's a pic of some on my CR

I wanted it to be more of a lip protector more than anything. That's what it was advertised as and why I got it.

Yes rears were rolled. I know what you're thinking... it's all the same stuff I was thinking (fender adjustments, spacers, etc) and what made me hesitant, but I did it all and have no regrets.
