Default @ Hardtop owners. Help me out.

So, ill be dumping some money into my currently stock S2000 here soon. I def want to get a hard top. ive never ridden in a car with one, so i need your help in making a decision. ill most likely be able to afford the hardtop, or a nice set of wheels (CCW or WORK). Im trying to get an idea of how nice it is daily driving with the hardtop.

So my question to you, would you rather have the hardtop or a really nice set of wheels?



Thanks guys.

What's your location? Maybe then someone local would be willing to give you a ride so you can have the hardtop experience.

unfortunately im not in the US for a while. good idea though.

it would be nice to hear how the hardtop is compared with the soft. i would imagine the noise is greatly reduced.

It reduces road/wind noise, but I think I hear my engine and exhaust more. Music definitely sounds better IMO.

If I wanted an S with a fixed roof, I would have bought an RX-8 instead. I'd get the wheels and enjoy the S as a convertible.
