Guys help me out here.
Finding a decent set of 18" wheels/tires that will properly fit AND stay within the $3K budget for the S2K is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack.
Very limited and few.
Here are my specs that I want:
- Front 18x7.5 offset ~55mm with 225-40-18 tires
- Rear 18x8.5 offset ~60mm with 255-35-18 tires
Does *ANY* wheel exist with those specifications and I want to stay within my budget of $3K or less (preferrably less) for both wheel and tire?
Damn, only if Honda made 17" wheels that came OEM with my S2K. ;-)
Thanks for you help!

Mark, the tough part is finding an 8.5" wheel with + 60mm offset for less than $500.
Maybe you could rephrase the question to get some leads;
"Anybody know of a 18x8.5" wheel with ~+60mm offset on a 5x114.3mm bolt pattern with hub diameter of ?? for less than $500?"
You find that bad boy and you're 90% there!

You can get a nice set of rims from Volkracing TE-37 in gunmetal,bronze or white with Toyo tires or Summmitomo in 18 inch for about 2800.00! I live out here in NY and the best prices out here in the East coast for high quality rims is Ultima,in Lynbrook. Or check their website http://www.ultimaperformance.com ask for Mike Rivera tell him Bob sent you

If you'd settle for 17" then look at thr ROH Adrenalin. I negotiated with (read: bullied) ROH to make sets with the correct offsets for the S2000 and am arranging a Group Buy as we speak. The wheels will be under $1000 (yes, I'm not kidding) so you should get through the entire ordeal for $1800-$2000.
