you will baraly even notice a differnce when you put on 19's comapared to 16's
LOL.

You might barely notice the difference, but the rest of us will no doubt easily feel the extra 8-10 lbs of unsprung weight on each corner .

However, that being said, if you like it, more power to you. It's your car, your money, and your image, so do as you please . Just don't try to convince us that there is no difference between 19's and 16's.

16" = Function > everything
17" = Function > looks
18" = Looks > function
19" = Looks > sense

yeah your looking at it for race/speed wise which i could care less about, if i wanted that i wouldnt even get wheels id do a supercharger. i want a good looking car, and if i wanted to look like a cadillac id put 20 inch chromes, but some nice deep dish 19's staggered will make it look good.
do some research, and come back in a year that is all i have to say.

this is why the car scene in the US is absolute bullshit. if you want to ruin the balance of your car all the power to you, i hope that works out.

why in the **** do people think it looks better if it has the largest possible wheel on it??? damn some people have no sense of anything

good bye forever, i really hope this never happens again.

of course theres a differnce but as a daily driver you wont notice it. if you are trying to build a track car none of this applies to you because you will be buying your wheels baised on performance and weight. but if your just using your s2000 for weekend drives and around town extra weight doesnt matter.
youd be an idiot of you bought 19's and wanted performance out of them

this thread is just asking for pics of s2000's with 19's i wouldnt wanna see pics unless i cared about how they looked. so if you have anything else to say about how gay you think it is please stay out of my thread, id like to get it back on topic and see some more pics, i didnt ask anyones opinion on

18's are probably the biggest rims i'd get (BBS LM), though I prefer 17's. I do believe that 19's are pushing it, given the size of the s2k; but I'm sure 19's can be pulled off cleanly given a "VIP" fitment (Heavy dish, high negative camber in the rear, tucked in). Work Meister S1's can probably be pulled off in 19's. 20's are probably a no-no.

The OP's request is reasonable. All he wants are pictures of big rims on an s2k. He's not telling you guys that big rims are cool, or that you should get them for your car. He just wants pictures.

Sorry...no sale...


Your arguement regarding 19s slowing you down are the same as the SRT4 guys about the s2k....

Your car might be fast, but it doesnt look good. I rather be a tad slower (about .1 to 60....my wheels are 2lbs heavier than stock..including tires) but my car looks a lot better than one with some lightweight 16s. Not only that, the ride is a lot better, and the traction is better.

Whatever, this discussion is useless. The OP wanted pics of 19s and 20s. If you dont have them, or pics to add, then dont bother posting.
