I've heard many says that the stock wheels are the best, but I'm thinking of going with VS Mesh wheels like the ones from the photoshoot, but in 18s instead of the 17s they used.

"I recommend the Workmiester wheels...

18x8 with +53mm offset
18x9 with +60mm offset
"


Phantom the pic I posted are Work wheels and have the correct offsets in both 17 18.

However, I have to agree and say mf-10s are the best!

Well, I like mine in gunmetal just fine.

I like the 3 pc 543s or 547s. I do believe there's a pic of an yellow S2 with the 543s somewhere.

Note: Deeper dish rears

How about these:



The come in 17x7.5 (50 offset) and 17x8.5 (56 offset). Rear can be ordered with two types of dish.

They are also available in 18-inch same width and offsets.

First off, let me say that I'm flattered by the response towards the HRE S2000 application.

Many of you may know that I developed the S2000 application for the HRE wheels. I knew I had something good going when we were able to squeeze the 10.5 widths on my stook, although despite my optimism it still pleasures me when people refer to our development as the best wheel for the S2000.

Keep in mind that despite the HREs carrying a hefty price tag, I always provide great deals for S2000online members. HRE tends to not sell at a discount, however many of you who have dealt with me prior will know that I offer great deals on the products that I sell (in other words, I will).

(oh, and of course I'm a sponsor here)

Well, here is a picture of my car after the wheels were fitted back in November. Its been a blast driving on them for the past 1/2 year. Hopefully I'll be able to provide the same exciting experience for some of you as well.

Oh yeah, I'll have some new pictures up on the site shortly. I have a pile of pictures of the HREs, with tires mounted and without.

And to answer a prior question, check my picture to see which HRE style I prefer.

I've been leaning towards the SSR GT1 (17") but recently have been eyeing the Racing Hart CP-035. Are they any good?

I went with the Volk Racing GTP's 17x8, 17x7
I didnt wanna go too wide and too big because I heard somewhere that going wider and bigger actually made the car SLOWER! And, there no way im letting THAT happen! I think it was some SportCompact car magazine that said that going +1 improved handling and maintained 0-60times AND also turned the fastest lap times. Anyone else read that same article?
