I agree with the whole "do what YOU feel" thing. Just remember, do what you can afford at the pace you can afford. It's sad to sometimes see people jump too far into a hobby only to have to back out because it took them too far in. Also, be careful, or you'll catch the bug. One part will lead to the next. Take s2000Junky's advice and pace yourself. I have a part here or there that I feel was rushed. I ended up selling one and the other is permanently on my front bumper. lol
i think i caught the bug from my old 98 integra when i was 17 two years ago. thx for all the input tho everyone

yes i thought i did something to offend OG s2k owners but yea thx to gomarlins3 suggestion i was able to somewhat picture a concept that will result in a clean look from other peoples concepts. research is a powerful tool i noticed and the nice performance rims go for a big buck so im gonna have to stay with the konigs for now. unless someone wants to trade for their ap2 rims?
I've got Ap1 wheels with tires for sale, much lighter then yours and Stock Ap2. You came from those already though so your probably not interested. They are a good price though and in nice shape. Taking up my garage space.

If you want some advice, your asking the wrong guys haha. Your opening up a can of worms that I hope your prepared for sorry to say. I will say to you to take your time and have a vision and follow through with it, dont do anything until it is clear to you what this is. Sometimes being broke helps the process becuase your forced to take your time and this can also bring out some creativity if your a creative guy to begin with. Nothing looks worse to me then a car that appears to have had 2 or 3 people fighting over it, making comprimises in its incarnation.

I prefure semi agressive track styling of some sort, whether it be drift, time attack, or what ever, but purposful is the key with performance in mind. Some guys like mad bling yo and don't care how it performs and thats fine for them, there is some great examples out there. It's up to you what kind of car you want to live with, ultimetly you won't be impressing everyone so you better be happy with it yourself. Like I said to me the S2000 is about pure performance and all mods should be talored around this, putting big heavy blingy wheels and big heavy stereo's don't seem fair to what the car was meant for and looks a bit goofy on this car.

It took me a year to find a wheel better performing then the stock Ap1 wheels, but it was so worth it to take that time, I drool everytime I walk to my car not just becuse I love how they compliment the looks of the car, but becuase I know they perform better then what was on there orginally and thats the key for me when making a choice on this car and I know for a fact I couldn't have done any better, so i get peice of mind as well.


Sound advice.

The AP2 wheels are actually lighter all together. The fronts are lighter and the rears are slightly heavier, but they both add up to a lighter combo than the AP1 rims (minimal). Tires are where the big difference is going to come into play.

Chris, how much for your AP1 wheels? They're not curbed, are they? I can't remember.
