You guys might not have ever wondered what steelies would look like on an S2000, but if you have, hear ya go. I wanted to experiment out of curiosity.

I actually found a set of steelies in 17", so I figured I would have some fun. I'm definitely expecting a lot of interesting comments about this setup, but that's the whole funny thing about this skateboarded out semi-truck style wheeled S2000. And for not too much invested, I wasn't too worried with the outcome.

Before anyone asks I will explain the process before I mounting them. They started out all black OEM Dodge Magnum/Chrysler 300M 17x7" +20mm steelies. Including tires, they weigh only 1 lb more then the stock 16" aluminum S2000 wheels. Now here's where I cut corners with the polishing of the lips... I mounted each wheel (tireless) to the rear hub of the car while jacked up. With the engine started and the car in gear, I took a flathead screw driver to the lip and began to strip the powercoating (ghetto lathe). Then applying sandpaper and steel wool until I got a somewhat shiny surface. After all 4 were done I finished them off with a few coats of Clear Duplicolor wheel coating.

I hate it.

 

Are u driving a S2000 or a Geo Metro?????????????????? People knock the Rotas,for degrading the S2000.This is ****ing degrading..............It might look ok,when they are spinning,but your not spinning 24-7.....That shit is ghetto....I know,im ghetto..............lol..........plus the offset,lol

 

Sorry to say, but that is the worst thing I've ever seen.........just horrible

 

i will buy those just to destroy them.

 

definitely different!

 

creative, but i hope to god you dont drive with them on.

 

LOOL

Would look awesome with a decent drop and also instead of skinny ass steelies, get yourself some banded with some dish on with some stretch tyres.

 

If these had Mugen stamped on them you could sell them for 4K.

 

For some people this is true

And btw these still look bette ron the S than any chromed out 19 inchers (with some exceptions)

The tyre height is too much tough.

Put some smaller tyres(in diameter) give it some camber and a decent drop


I really like the unconventional way you did to polish the lips
