Scot,

That happens to be my S2K, and I'll have you know that it has a 500hp turbocharged 2.2L 11,000 RPM motor under the hood!!! (just kidding)

Seriously, I'm proud to have a STOCK S2K!!! NOT...just need more money for mods...those monthly payments are already enough!!!

But, looking at the pic now,I think a set of 18 inch wheels would look nice...makes my wheels look super small.

I always told myself I would never lower the s2k after having previous lowered cars... but man, it's amazing, even on a sports car, how lowering it a little bit can make it look SOOO much more aggressive.

The lowering looks better, definitely. But overall I prefer the stock car because the dark wheels make it look like they're covered in brake dust, which is just icky.

I voted stock. I don't like seeing all that empty space around the rear discs, for one thing.

dark wheels look more competition oriented to me, the stock wheels are a big part of why the car doens't look exotic to me... changing the wheels alone help it define an image other than "another honda" IMO
