Who makes these wheels?



Rumor has it that Mille Miglia manufactures them but they're not listed on either Tire Rack or Mille Miglia's web site.

Any info would be appreciated. These are the best damn looking wheels for the S2000 that I have ever seen.

I love the wheels in that picture. The only problem I see is the bulging of the wheels on each spoke. On my Acura CL Type-S, I had a similiar bulge where the spokes stuck out a little. It was a constant issue of scraping the wheels on curbs etc.... Since that car, I have tried to stay away from wheels that stick out like that.

They look a lot like the Advan Xecret 7, but can't tell for sure

Could possibly be the Stark MS 1 Piece Light Weight Forged Wheel

Those rims in the pic are not the Stark MS 1's as those have a slight inset for the wheel nuts. . .they do look alitle like Mille Miglia's style of rim! Very clean and simple!

Not sure where this picture was taken (I imagine somewhere in Europe). . .could be a "concept" rim from Mille Miglia!

The picture was taken on the Frankfurt autoshow (in Europe). The s2000 in the picture had a very strange interior. I suggest that you do a search in the forum of the European s2000 owners for some more information on this particular car.

I don't think it's the Advan's; you'll notice that each spoke is slightly tapered, and each pair is tapered towards the outside, whereas the ones in Shark's pic are parallel.

The center cap also appears to be concave (conical?), which rules out those Stark MS1 rims.

This looks like it could be a highly specialized S2K. It has a completely different rotor set setup, filled-in seatback openings, and (what looks like) a soft fitted cover for the folded soft top. (Also, judging by the high reflection in the pic, they've done something different to the roll bar hoops.)

What's more interesting is the interior color of the S2K in that pic...pretty damn nice IMO.

I think the Suzuka Blue is too 'sweet looking' on the inside...but the one in that pic looks meaner and darker...and the rims look damn fine too...

(Or is it the same as the Suzuka interior? )
