I am in the market for a set of 18" Gunmetal Volk Racing Wheels? For the people that have already bought a set what is the best price you have found?

Also in 18" what is the most popular width, and tire sizes? I keep hearing about 285's, but, would like some feedback on this.

You wont be able to use 285 width tires with the Volks as they are not custom built. I think 245 width rears are the max you'll be able to fit on Volks.

Usually with Volks and other generic size wheels, the typical tire sizes are 215/225 up front, and 235/245 rear.

I'm in Wheel Warehouse (in Anaheim, CA) quite often with my vehicles. I was quoted $437 each on the 17". Usually 18's are about $25-$30 more apiece.

IMHO 17"s will give you the best performance.

Not sure how that outer rotating mass thing works, but... my 17" volk tire/wheel combo is lighter than the 16" stock wheel/tire combo

There is a new wheel coming out from SSR called Competition that looks a lot like the gunmetal TE-37. Don't know if they will fit S2000 though.
