It's the same design as the Spoon wheel, except, you can get different colors instead of just black.

[B]Phantom,

I believe 1RandyC has 35mm offset on his 16x7 Spoon front rims.

Is the Regamaster the same weight?
I believe so, since it's basically the same rims.

16x7 = 11.8 lbs
16x8 = 12.2 lbs

I'd be interested to see what the results of this is. Spoon does offer their wheels in +45mm but not for the S2000. I checked various times with Giampiero and Mingster and they both confirmed with Spoon that the +35mm was the correct offset for the S2K and not the +45mm. Is the Regamaster the same weight?
Hmmm...I have seen a car with 16x7 +40mm, and it looked decently flush with the fender. I don't know why Spoon perfers +35mm over +45mm for 16x7. Our 16x7.5 for the front has a +55mm offset...

Ok, I (Actually a peformance shop called directly over to Japan for me) found out why Spoon prefers a 35mm offset for the front...It turns out that Spoon's brake calipers are bigger then stock, so they needed to have the offset lower to make it fit (Stick out more). Get it? I hope I explained it correctly.
