Don't think you'll find more than a handful of S2000's running such big and heavy wheels. Do a search tho, I remember seeing one S2000 with Axis Hagens a while back...

This is my car on 19's. Not the hagen's though. I don't believe all 19's slow the car down. My 19's with rubber weigh in at 40 lbs. Dunno what stock rims weigh, but stock prelude rims with 40 lbs as well.

its just not about weight, rolling diameter also factors into it.

I would figure it would help you gain speed, as long as they don't weigh more. At least thats what physics says.

stock S2000 wheels= 16.5lbs front/17.6lbs rear FYI

and rolling diameter does factor into "it", but 19's are all sorts of wrong for anything but a show S2000
