I keep hearing people bitch about the brake dust but I've never had a problem on oem set up.
I clean my wheels about once a month and it comes of with just a dry cloth.

 

I have an AP1 with AP2v1s on it and it's TERRIBLE... Everything is stock aside from the rims... And after one good drive the wheels are noticably dirty...(It's easily cleaned off with a dry cloth... but still irritating!)

 

sometimes depends on your pad brand.Are you using oem pads?

 

Hardwire. It's very easy to run a power cord from the accessory tap, up the A pillar and to your RD.

Brake dust comes off easily. There's just tons of it and the wheels don't stay clean for long.

 

Extra money in the bank

 

Well your wife can still sit shotgun, and since you have another car for those trips to home depot/Costco/IKEA, which is really the only time where the S falls short in my view (I daily'd mine for a year before i bought a second vehicle), I'd say you don't lose any conveniences, you GAIN a raw sports car...

 

The convenience of going 30-40K miles on one set of sporty tires! The S2000 eats tires, I'm lucky to get 10K out of a set of rears and I don't drive that hard.

im assuming so since honda installed them.
you should also try spray waxing your wheels.
it makes cleaning them so much easier.

 

the lack of room for cd's and stuff sucks. I am also 6 foot 7 so I cant really move or see the gauges

 

Well that's not the car's fault, lol. This car was designed for people between 5 and 6 feet in height and between 90 and 160 lbs.
