Default clarkster009's Build Thread

What's up guys. So I purchased some wheels already, Advan Model 5s (https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=787237). Although I loved the design and the finish (even though 75% of s2Ki didn't), I have decided to look into other wheels because 1) I want 18s I think and 2) I want ones that fit better so I can lower it without having to run much camber or do much fender work. So I have narrowed it down to the following wheels. As you can see, I am pretty set on matte black. Obviously some are better (i.e. brand name and a little lighter) but the more money I save on wheels the faster I can finish this long build. If anybody spies an offset/width they think that won't be an easy fit with a 215 or 225 up front and 245 or 255 in the rear just holler.

My plan would be to go with these wheels as well as buy a decent set of coilovers. I am thinking about Bilstein PSS9 possibly, because I heard they were a good streetable coilover and they are a huge brand.

Edit: Modified with weights and price. I'm trying to get coilovers at the same time so the Works might possibly be over my budget Just not sure if they are worth all the extra money.

11R's, if you don't want to keep the Advans. 18's fill up the wells better on a dropped s2000.

Lol, these are not the results I really expected at all...I am leaning toward the Enkeis just because it is a good combination of light weight and quality but it is fairly affordable. But keep the opinions comin!
