Thanks to "hondaroadster"!!!!
Yeaterday, I bought his 18" &17" Enkie wheels with tires (see below), got them home and slapped 'em on. Pretty sweet. He also through in an RM Intake with the polished cold air inlet tube. "Even Sweeter!!"
Hopefully, I'll post pics soon.
I keep looking outside at my little stookie. My wife doesn't get it. She thinks I'm deranged (sp?). Sure glad I joined the club. Now I can be with my own kind. This is my "safe place".

The guy he bought them from was from Fox Marketing.
I considered them but was concerned with the quoted offsets and wheel sizes.
Apparently, you can't get the Aegis wheels in 18 x 7.5". The closest tire package up front is 17 x 7".
Would still like to see pics though.

Hi folks!
Sorry for the delay in responding (Easter/Family/etc.)
2x6spds: After buying my wife her Beemer 2 yrs. ago, she suprised me with my stook 2 mos ago. She had no idea what she got herself into. She's aready surounded by pods!!!!
Austin S2000: I took pics today with regular 35mm camera (Don't have didital yet). I'll get developed to disc and figure out how to post pics (Honestly don't have a clue right now).
ANYONE (MY BROTHERS OF 9K RPM'S) WHO CAN GIVE ME A STEP BY STEP TUTERING ON POSTING PICS WOULD BE A WONDERFUL PERSON.
Blue S2000: I put 18's/Rear + 17's/front because 1.) both sets are lower profile that factory. 2.) Many 1st rate cars including NSX do the same. 3.) It was a great deal and the wheels (including the slightly larger rear vs. ront) look awsome!
Blue S2000 & nkw00: I dont know why some high end sports cars set up this way other than a lower/stiffer profile rear tire would possibly keep the rear in check during cornering. There is no compormise in performance, only improvement in that both front & rear are now lower profile tires (overall tire diameters remain the same as OEM, front & rear). The ride is a bit more stiff due to more rubber on the road + stiffer side walls, I was only able to take my 71 year old dad for a ride today, he's a real sport (a couple of quick curves), howerver; I didn't think high speed, to the limit driving would be a good thing to do to him on Easter Sunday. I'll let you know my impressions of the new setup when I get a chance to let it rip.
AustinS2000: Aaron (the guy I bought them from) is from Fox Marketing and the wheels are pristine. The 17" fronts are slightly more agressive (less offset/farter outward) & the rear 18's are just within the fender's edge (very cool). Honestly, I don't know the actual offsets but Aaron sent me pics and I could see they looked OK.
P20C: Yes, I bought Aaron's wheels plus his RM Racing/K&N Intake (Polished w/ polished cold air inlet).
My stook is black/red which looks to me very retro. These wheels ar a mesh design (kinda wire wheel looking, only better, which adds to the retro look). The slightly bigger dia. wheels in the rear give it a real badass look. Hopfully my pics will follow (Again, any technical help in my ability to post pics will be appreciated).
