I walked into Eurosport today to inquire about a new spoiler and I saw in stock the new SSR SP1 Professor wheels hanging up on the wall. There was about 10 people looking at them. I guess they came in 2 days ago. The wheel is maybe a month old. Anyway I took one look at them and said to myself these are THE BEST WHEEL right now for the S2000. They even have a perfect offset match and they come in 4 different color patterns. Anyway to make a long story short 2 of the S2000 owners here are putting in an order for them tomorrow. They make Volk and Advan look cheap(sorry but its true). A S4 owner was even there and he just bought Volk LE37s and told me compared to those his Volks look cheap and I was like how do you think I feel I have Spoons. He was like you have Spoons you cant go wrong with those. They even fit the Spoon calipers. I ALMOST ordered a set of black chrome ones. Anyway I am heading down tomorrow with a couple friends and they are going to order them. If you goto the SSR website it does them no justice. You have to see them in person. Eurosport also told me they will ship anywhere in the US.
Try and check them out. Here is a picture of them. Just imagine a 18 or 19 inch application with a 3-4 inch polished lip. I saw the black chrome ones in person and thats the ones I would go with. They also have white but I didnt post that pic. They are a multi-piece wheel.

Yes they are a high end wheel. I personally like SSR in general over Rays or OZ. Retail these go for like $560 a wheel for the fronts and $580 for rears.
Socal that pic does them no justice you have to see them in an 18 or 19 inch app. in person.

on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being garbage like ADR/Konig/Katana Racing, and 5 being the best like Kinesis/HRE/Fikse)...id rate the SSRs at a 4.

Hey! Go easy on enkei. They manufacture our stock wheels.
You're right though, Buddyclub is a very reputable manufacturer (with a funky name )
