Default BBS LM in 17in.

I love the BBS LM's on the S. By far the best looking wheels. In my wheel search, everyone has only 18 inch LM's. The 18inch on the S looks awesome! But, I'm not interested in 18inch solely because they are too heavy and I'll run into rubbing issues when dropped. Do any of you have pics of the 17 LM's on an S?

17' LMs dont look right and i do agree that LMs are one of the best looking wheels.
Importsports has 18' LMs on his Berlina s2k and it doesnt have rubbing issues that i know of and he is also dropped with zeal coilovers.
Go with the 18's if you like the LMs.

Thanks for the compliments guys





The 17" wont have the offsets or the lip that you see on the 18" wheels. They do make them and it's still an extremely high quality wheel but they lack the characteristics that make the 18" setup look so perfect on the S2000.

How much do the 18's weigh vs the 17's?
