Those wheels will be pretty awesome. Are you going to be running with a camber joint to get more camber?

I think max stock camber should be enough for me and I don't expect it to rub (much).

I believe I'll be waiting for those wheels too. They appear to be light and very rigid for a great price. Should be an awesome all-round track wheel. If that's the case, I'll probably purchase the J's Racing Camber Joint to get a little more camber angle up front.

[QUOTE=takchi,Aug 7 2009, 08:33 AM] I'm sure there must be a few available.

^depends what you are using the car for. Look at every major time attack s2000 car and you'll see they are all running non-staggered setups. When you add a big old wing to the trunk the front just doesn't have enough grip to keep up with the rear. Without the trunk though on the track the car might feel a little more twitchy at high speed.

I personally running non-staggered on mine and I love the way it feels. The car feels to me like it turns better with the non-staggered setup.

I would imagine braking distances would shorten although I haven't really tested for it. And I'm looking forward to the ability to rotate tires.

^I can say with certainty my car feels like it stops better. I noticed it especially at the last autocross I went to. I ran my oem ap2 wheels which are 215s up front and I had abs come on a few times at the same corner. That has never happened when I was running the 255s up front.

My biggest complaint about the 255s up front is the car wants to follow imperfections in the road a lot more. It's something you get quickly used to and then you never think about it.

one of the reasons I want to get non stagger wheels and tires aren't exactly cheap for our cars

I just realized that unlike my past S2000s, my CR's radiator stays are painted black. Is that the case on just CRs?
