if you are considering 17 inch wheels, make sure you get the right offset.

i'm selling a set of 17 inch Work Emotion forged in an...i would say perfect size and offset for the s2000. it's 17x7.5 +52 front and 17x8.5 +59 rear. the recommended tires size are 225/45 front and 255/40 rear.

click on the link for more info on the sale of Work Emotion forged...

it depends on if you want "plug and play" or if your willing to do a little body work to fit what you want... there are no "perfect" offsets, only ones that work and ones you have to make work...

this may sound stupid but i am looking probably into gettin teh back wheels deep dished and the front just a little bit does that affect the offset size or anythign else? sorry my knowledge of rims isn't all too high when it comes to the offsets and all. do the vs-xx come in deep dish?

perfect offset means...offset made for the car. everything is thought out. it should fit like plug and play.

made for the car isn't perfect once you start tweeking though... with my fender work, anything as high an offset as what would be considered "made for the car" will look like bicycle wheels... if he wanted a set of aggressive looking (dishy) VS-XX, he'd have to do something to facilitate that... It wouldn't make the car handle worse, in fact, if it's wide enough with clearance to move, it would improve handling... it just depends on how far you want to go... I'm not knocking your rims, just so you know, I'm actually quite fond of them on your car, but in the same breath they would look quite narrow on mine...
