Default Plus 1 or Plus 2 Upgrades

I'm looking to "personalize" my S2000 with some aftermarket wheels. I'm leaning towards BBS or OZ, but many of the wheel dealers tell me only one or two of these brands will fit the S2000. Anyone know of some other high quality lightweight wheels that'll fit? Tires might be Yokohama AVS or Michelin Pilots, any comments?

I would recommend a Plus 1 size personally. I think it looks the best, and 18" or 19" wheels may actually deteriorate the car's performance. Not many wheels fit this car due to its unique offsets, unfortunately, but dig around in the FAQ's and Wheel and Tire forum to figure things out.

Also, you just can't go wrong with BBS - they rock.

As for tires, you'd want 215/40/17 and 245/40/17 for the 17" wheels. I would go with Bridgestone S02's or S03's personally.

SSR makes strong, lightweight wheels. They will fit the S2000.
