Default new s2000 owner with question

Hey, this is my first post. I just got my 2002 spa yellow s2000 yesterday. Its hard keeping it under 5500 rpm for the first 650 miles!!! Well anyways, my s2000 has been "on its way" from honda for about 2 months, so i have been shopping for new rims ever since. I cant seem to find nice rims. How can i find the right rims for my s2000. I tried tirerack, they dont have a big selection of rims. I nice rims to go with a spa yellow s2000. any suggestions?

Do a search, look in the photo gallery section, you'll find lots of rims. IMO, black or gunmetal looks so ill on a yellow s2k...

Congrats!

I think one of the Aussie guys, AusS2000, has a database online with all the info on rims (or is it tyres?). Anyway.. drop over the Australian forum and ask him if you stil need help.

If I were you I would run the S02's untill they get worn out. It will not take all that long. Around 9-12,000 miles then I might would consider the new rims. Unless you are going with 16" wheels. I assume you want 17 or 18". Anyway I love the Work Meister 18" wheels. I hope to get me a set of these someday
