^I'll agree with that. Nice to see something different. I also agree that on that widebody the 19's don't look to big. Look forward to pictures.

Personally I think these 19's look much better than the new ones that you picked up. I don't like that style of that work wheel at all on an S2000. I think the CE's fit the personality of the car much better, and you can pull of the larger wheels in this case because of the wide body.


There was an Amuse R1 widebody that pulled off 19in CEs really well. I'll see if I can dig up pictures.

If you're going to extend the fenders on the car shouldn't you be taking advantage of that and stuffing as much rubber under the car as possible? That look is very counter intuitive.

"Hey guys check out my wide body car with my stretched tires and wheels that don't fit under the fenders."

Cool.

To each its own... I also seen a APR with 18's and it doesn't even fit the wheel well. I also not into " hey guys check me out I have monster rubber that sticks out" not my style . But I respect your opinion

18's that are the complete wrong width, offset, and probably tire size...which is why it doesn't look right.

The fitment on the wheels in that picture is terrible. They look like wheels that are set up for the stock body car on a widebody.

The one you posted earlier is much better.

Here you go, I found what I was looking for:

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/779..._amuse+wide+19

I know there is another thread somewhere of a similar set up with green CEs but I can't seem to find it. I think 19s look pretty good on that set up. They are still a bit to big for my taste, but they work.

I know the offset is wrong but what I was trying to show is how the rim looks small in the wheel well..this body kit has large wheel wells
