tilted rear wheels
Its called negative camber, it is part of what gives the S2k its performance oriented handling. The difference between a normal sedan, say an accord, and the S2k is that the S2k has negitive camber and the accrod has slight positive camber. The negative camber in the s2k means that more of the tire grips the surface of the road in corners; however, this is also what makes the s2k somewhat hairy in the rain and show because less of the tire is contacting the ground when not cornering. This is also what causes more ware on the inside of the tires, especially the rear. The accord on the other hand has slight positive camber which means that the contact patch on the tire is even across the tire, so you have decent handling and even tire ware.
I had an alignment and had the camber set to zero on my S2000 and everything else set to spec. The back end was less squirrly in the rain, the tires wore evenly and it seemed to handle just fine. $60 at Goodyear
