18" SSR GT3s

Heavy - despite being "semi solid forged" but IMO really good looking.

What did you use to cut the plastic so you could put grills over?

A dremel tool. Just be careful trhat you don't contact the paint surface as the chuck spins pretty close to it. I put some masking tape down to protect the paint.

hehe... thanks, Angel. I figured the SSRs would look good @ any speed on the S2000. 180whp on a bike? I'd be a dead man. My Interceptor makes something like 80-90ish at the crank IIRC

I still have the ASAs for the Victoracers.

Iceman - I used a Dremel with a fiberglass reinforced cutting wheel. Really crappy looking work from behind - but the grille covers it up - so no worries. I cut them when I had the bumper off so it was super easy to do.

Z06Killers' setup looks better because he cut it off cleanly and mounted the mesh from behind.

Looks better that way, IMO.

Tire Rack has 'em. They have two colors - the "standard" ones I have are just about a perfect match for Sebring.

It just so happens that the "Satin Silver" center GT3 is very close to Silverstone.

I think they only come in 18" If you want to stay with 17"s - the GT1s look good in 17" - no rivets so the spokes go pretty much to the lip. Visually the wheel looks bigger.

The GT3s are almost the opposite - the rivets make the wheel look smaller than an 18" I don't have a problem with that because I think 19"s on the S2000 look silly.

I'll send you a pm on the $$$
