Default Hey friends...need some wheel help!!!

Hello, I was wondering if you guys could give me some suggestions on which wheels to put on my Silver S2k. I am looking for 18" or 19" wheels, and am open to various finishes. Wheels are not really my weakness so my brain does not allow me to splurge on them, (I would sooner spend $2,500 on a watch than on a set of wheels, whereas some of you may do the opposite...just a matter of priorities I guess). Just looking for nice looking wheels, not concerned with the weight or anything like that. I REALLY need help since I am having horrible luck finding any that are not "expensive" to my brain.

P.S. - They make all kinds of immitation Racing Hart wheels and such for other hondas and acuras, do you know of any of those that would fit an S2000?

Mike K S2K,

The problem is that the cheaper wheels wont fit the S2000 because our offset is unique (pisses me off).

I don't know of any 18 or 19 inch wheels that fit our S2000 well that is below $2,000 bud...

Well I shopped & shopped & shopped for wheels. There are some out there & like Phantom said they're expensive. I was told by a manufacturer (who will remain nameless) that a given wheel would fit but when I ask for the offsets the fronts were close but the rears were off by 12 freaking mm's. Yes they would have "fit" but NOT fit "properly". You will find more choices for 18's than I did 17's but not that many still. I bit the bullit & went with the Volk Racing TE37's. Yes my pkg. cost $2700 wheels, tires, lugs, centering rings, center caps. But they're well made & very light weight & look good. You'll find many owner cars with this wheel. Others are the Work Meister S2R's, HRE, Kinesis, SSR GT1 & Integral, ROH Adrenaline & Mugen. None will be inexpensive. Sorry but that's just a fact. Good luck!
