And for what it's worth, 1 set of hellaflush wheels will probably pay for a stock S2000 to attend 4 or 5 track weekends or a few seasons of autox.

Kinda looks like a big (really really big) fat lady just sat on top of your car, and your tires get all bent out. To each their own I guess. But it's really your own personal preference. I'm in agreement with one of the other posters here. So long as you're not hurting anyone, who cares?!

Second, Honda tuning did not come from Cali.

I just don't understand why you want to do this to the S. It just looks so bad, and reminds me of all the wanna be low riders around. I seriously can't wait for this look to die like the altezzas.

Why not? Assuming you're a reasonable and intelligent human being you make daily judgement calls and decision based on outward appearances. Since I already know the mentality behind the Hellaflush crowd its only reasonable to want to pair a physical description to them - so I know who to avoid IRL.
If they're anything like the douchetards that frequent local (Non S2Ki) meets with 8ft Honda lanyards, pants around their asses, some douchey thugnificant hat with the price still on and a huge t shirt to hide their gut/promote their gangsterness, then yes, I'm shallow for not wanting to affiliate with these people.

heh this thread blew up quick.
btw, driven, you do realize you quoted 2 different people right? not bashing, just sounds like your bashing the same person for something he/she didn't say
as for my opinion, to fuel this topic... both have a purpose. i dont mind having stretched tires and poking wheels for my street set up. its meant to look good, and as long as its not overdone (ie. -15 camber), it looks good.
but hardly functional.
when i go to the track i run properly
to the person saying that comparing stretched tires and beefy tires at the track will never happen (yes i gathered that bit of sarcasm).... eh, ive done it. and yes, stretched tires dont grip as well of course. no flex in the sidewalls cause them to break loose much more easily.

im gonna contradict myself tho, i'd PREFER a non-stretched, beefy flush look over the hellaflush any day but like alexisthemovie said... sometimes you gotta do things to fit quality wheels 
(again, within reason...)
