The ones I was running at the car show were the SSR Soverigns. They are more expensive but dont look as nice(in my opinion).
Also the SP1s in 18s dont even weigh that much. When I actually lifted one up it was the 18 inch and it weighed about as much as our stock wheel.

Well, I must admit I like how Enkei styles most of their wheels. They look great. But it's function over form with me and its not like the high end forged wheels are ugly.

I saw these guys in person and almost ordered them. The little voices inside my WIFE's head told me not to. But I must admit these are some of the best wheels I have seen to date. And the offsets fit also. I especially like the three piece design and the "deeeeeep dished two step look!" Amazing! By the way, if JDM orders his, I mean when he orders his, I get his Spoons! heh. So what do you guys think Black or White for my white s2k? just a thought.

Go with black. I think the price they quoted you when I was there was not bad at all. Unleash the Force on your wife. Tell her "I have to get these wheels". Then she will say "I have to get these wheels". LOL
Dustin told me he is going to pick up the black chrome ones in 18 or 19 inch. My other friend Rob wants to take a look at them today.
I probably wont get rid of the Spoons. They are my stock wheels now. For the shows I may pick these up. I want so many other things right now I am going to hold off on these until Dustin gets them on his car.

Sorry to be a contrarian- but IMHO I don't agree they'd look good on the S2000. The "spokes" are too wide and have a heavy look. And black chrome? No way. The S2K deserves wheels that look light and fleet of foot. likr the car is.
