They are so similar, but I suppose the JDM is slightly better because the extension of each spoke helps the wheel to appear to have a larger diameter.

 

99-01 model had the right wheel in europe
02-03 the left one

The right one looks bigger. The left one is a bit shine which doesn't mach the s2000 too good imo.

Im running the left ones though......

 

i would say i like the USDM ones better , not really an OEM wheel fan. The 06 AP2 wheels are my favorite, no contest.

 

Spot on - they are EU and JDM on models up to 01

Here's my EUDM 00 car, my first S. I prefer them to the USDM ones



BTW the +04 and +06 alloys are the same in all markets.

 

EU and JDM - 00-01 spokes go to the edge of the wheel
US - 00-03 - diamond cut face with spokes finishing shorter of the edge
JDM and EU 02-03 - same as US 00-03
04 onwards - all markets the same.

 

good info, thanks guys!

 

The USDMs have a more-hard-edged look, which is more appropriate for the S2000 design IMO. The JDMs (or EDMs or whatever) look kinda cheap and plastic-y, IMO. I agree that they do look slightly bigger though.

USDMs =

 

USDM all the way, they look more agressive and it fits the S very well.
