BTW...it an ADR wheel. The ADR Flite 5, I don't know about weight or anything, but supposedly there's supposed to be offsets for the S2000 as well

I may not be disheartened that much....these may make a great matching set for my BMW 3. Just would have to get a new center piece machined (if the Mugen centers didn't work) and get these powdercoated in as close to the Mugen bronze as possible.

What's wrong with it? It seems to resemble the new wheel on the MY04 model

Actually it resemble the MF10 more so than the new 17" Honda wheel.

Not everyone can afford to buy Mugen MF-10's; they are in the $2K range, I believe. Just like how people get Rota Slipstream's instead of Spoon SW388's.

Dan should be upset by this....fcuk that! I'm disheartened by this.

I know that I got superior quality in construction and design....but damn if I want to see little tuner boys on the street copying and cheapening the style I paid for.

Oh well, I guess the only way to keep a custom look is to go get 4 blocks of billet aluminum, design, and build my own design.

The good thing is the fact now I can get a matching set of "MF10 knockoffs" for my BMW 3 sedan. The only thing is that I have to find a way to cover up the extra lug holes and get them powdercoated in bronze....maybe even mirrorface polish them, like the one-offs that Mugen made for Nick Wong's car.
