Thanks Scott,
18" Wheels. Lucked up and found someone who bought but had not installed. I paid $2000 for wheels in original unopened boxes. Need to paint the brake calipers next. They really show now. Got a date and running late, but at 161 mph I should makeup some time. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow. Any suggestions on angle, let me know.

ya took the windshield tape off.... looks good... I really really wanted those wheels at first, but 18" is too big for pothole land.... plus they were $2400 plus shipping from RM Racing...

I saw that guy selling those wheels a few weeks ago, but i already have spent $

Ya going to lower the car any? I decided mine needed it.. i could get 3+ fingers in....(that didn't sound right) between the tires and the fender.

Don't lower too much... hard bumps cause my tires to hit plastic wheel well (I might raise it a hair):

Scot,

Next thing I have Rick's full size aroscreen w/logo on order. Thinking about removing S2000 markers. Going to order Rick's clearside markers and probably badges (have console cover). Never owned a Honda (wish it was an Acura) and love the mystery of the car when people don't know what it is. Really like the way your car looks lowered. Something to do later on. Would like S2000 to be about one inch lower. How much was the cost and what parts are involved.

shaner,

How much lower is your car and what do you think is the right amount for the wheels (looks good low on the wheels)? What do you think about painting the brake calipers?

William

William,

Do your tires hit the wheel well when cornering? What springs/shocks did you use? I'm going to switch from my Comptech adjustable coilovers to the mugen height/shock adjustable coilovers to see if I can control the body travel while being lower... It's horrible to keep hitting those tires!
