holy s#!t the yellow one looks sweet. after having horrible experiences with 20"s on my gs300 i thought i would never want to go that route again... but after seeing that pic i am rethinking. my only concerns are the fact that the rims are goin to way a lot more and the larger circumfrence will slow the car down dramaticly. right? at least thats what happened with my lex. also what widths and offsets will work? will any fender rolling or similar mods be required for a proper fit?

Mike

 

rjm161 - thanks. Those are my favorite, and I especially like the way they fill in and make the car look wide from behind. Sorry to hear that they no longer make the wheel. New selling point, you think?

shaner - its gotta be the offset. I am running 255/35 tires in the rear, and it only rarely touches the outside on the fender. But thats very rare, only on a tight corner, and there has to be a bump. Other than that, clearance is fine.
Seems like I cna barely fit a finger between the tire and the fender, but it clears it.
And mine is lowered too.
Try rolling your fender slightly. The inner part on the fender, the black,flat piece, will be easily modified and most of your problems will go away. Good luck

 

pnty drpr,

did you paint your discs also? Any problems?
Great pics of your car!

 

Hey Giampiero, give me the wheel widths that come in the 19s. And any finishes that might be available. I also want to know how soon I can get them. Trying to get them by next Friday. Thanks.

 

Tim S2K - No, just the calipers. It looks smooth and subtle that way. I think doing any more would take away from that.

No problems at all. There is probably like 10 coats of the red paint on each caliper. I took my time, but now the red is nice and deep.

 

Brian; 8x19 front
8,5x19 rear
tires 235/35 19 all around
Unfortunatly delivery is 2/3 weeks.

 

Is there any way to get them any faster. I have a car show next Saturday. And why didn't you go with a 255/30-19 on the rear? I will pay extra for faster service.

 

Brian;I already call the supplier yesterday for an other set;they will receive wheels for fitment to the S2000 only next week Wed.(they are now in back order)
Even if they come by Air (from Italy)I cannot guarantee a delivery for Saturday.
They reccomend 235 because with the stock suspension you might experience a lighter rubbing with bigger tires.

 

Ok, so to have them air mailed, it will cost me like $500? I would at least like to try. I'm going to order my tires today. Yokohama AVS sport in a 235/35-19, since that is the size you say will work. I guess you will contact your seceratary and give her the prices. I'll send a check to you overnight mail, for the wheel and overnight shipping costs. My address is 211 Jeffenson Woods Drive, Forest, Va 24551 That might help in finding the cost. Thanks.

 

Brian;if you want to order them just send the money for the wheels now.Shipping cost ;later I will inform you how much.
When you will receive the wheels you will pay COD the shipping costs.
If its ok send me a private message.
