Yeah, well. . .folks are entitled to their opinion. WRS2K also thinks that my fog lights suck. I LOVE my MilleMiglia's! I actually purchased a set of SSR GT1's before the MilleMiglia HT3's and when my SSR's hit a large hole left by the City of New Bern, I decided to purchase an entire set of MilleMiglia HT3's to replace them. They were always a favorite of mine and I like the design quite a bit. They remind me quite a bit of the new Accord Coupe 6speed design.



Sure, you'll find folks who think that you have to spend lots of $$$ on things for them to be of decent or good quality, but with the MilleMiglia's, you'll get a great set of rims with your money. Hell, I've placed nearly 20k miles on MilleMiglia's and they are still in great condition. I've seen a set of Volks with nicks galore and less than 10k miles. My MilleMiglia's have been all over too, during AutoX's, Dragon Runs and events, numerous *spirited* drives and so on. I can surely afford more expensive wheels, but why? My desire for a different look on my S2000 from the OEM rims went straight to the style and color of the HT3's. In fact, my SSR GT1's were powdercoated a dark "gunmetal" color before they died.

So. . .point being made here, I love my rims. I could care one iotta less what anyone else thinks. I love the way they look on my S2000 and honestly, the more folks who don't care for them or think that they are too cheap for our S, the better. Since I'll end up having a more unique set. Here are some pics of my S2000 with MilleMiglia HT3's.

Airgate,

First and foremost, I'm glad you are happy with them. I wish I was as happy with my rims as you are with yours. I surely don't love mine, but they do get the job done.

I'm all for budget rims, but your rims do not get the job done by my definition. If you could share the specs on the HT3s that'd be great because who knows, they might be right on, but I presume:

1) that the offsets are poor
2) that they weigh more than the stock rims
3) none of it is forged

Still friends, right?

ASA FR1s (no longer available thru Tirerack)

Offsets are the same as my previous SSR GT1's.

They weigh a total of 20 lbs more than stock rims.

They are not forged.

If you plan on dropping your car some time, stock rims powder coated look great!

Airgate, they look awesome! I'm definitely going to keep those in mind, but probably won't do anything until it's time to replace my tires again.
