Default New rims and wheels

I have been looking into purchasing new rims and tired for my 2001 S2000. I have almost 8500 miles on it and the rear tires are getting pretty low. Too much time in VTEC land. Oh well, that is what she was built for.

I was wondering who has changed their stock rims and wheels to something else. I am hoping for some help, such as pics and so on to help me with the process. Thanks.

I currently have 18" Dronnell TS-05`s w/ Toyo t1-s proxes. AKTusa.com has plenty of nice wheels.

I'm pretty sure that in the Volk GT 18" series, the only option available for our cars is 18x7.5 +49 front and 18x8 +50 rear.
So yes, you're about your +50 in the rear.

I didn't realize that they had a fitment for our cars? What's the spec on those?

For those who care to do a search on the above wheels, there is only one "n" in Dronell, and their website does not list the TS-05.
