lol this thread started out ok w/ a member's nice response until the OP had to respond with his attitude which unleashed the hounds.

Sorry the wheels are ugly IMO.

OP - I don't know how familiar you are with the Honda/Import world but I'll give a stab..

The wheels you choose don't suit the S2000s style/feel/performance approach which overall cheapens the look and feel. Most people run lightweight forged wheels in 17" or 18" - think Volk, Work, Enkei, BBS, etc. Others, like me, choose style over weight and run heavy ass VS-XXs in 18s that look amazing (but cost an arm and a leg LOL).

Take a look around the gallery and familiarize yourself with the different tuning styles available. There ALWAYS a lot of good deals in the for sale section of the site and you can save a lot of money while rolling in style and retain function (lightweight wheel = less unsprung weight, better handling, braking, etc) - plus with a 'brand name' you get baller status. LOL

Anyway, I really like your car though - Suzuka is a great color. If I were you I'd go with a 2-3 piece wheel and colormatch your centers Suzuka blue. Theres a member here with an AP1 on HREs thats done this (mind you its big $$) - but it could be done for less picking up some rims that need to be refinished.

I dont think they look that bad, but I have never been a fan of wheels that have covers over the lugs.

If you like them, thats all that matters who cares what a bunch of people you'll never meet think...LOL

see what you did by putting those ugly wheels on your car? you embarassed your neighbor for having to live next to that.

now he has to sell his house....all because you put fugly wheels on your car. every action has an equal and opposite reaction.



not to mention the calipers and half painted front lip. and is that fish oil on your tires?
