if your looking for light rims then go with a volk ce28n in 17 their like 13-14 lbs... i personally think 18s are all about look. 17's is a compromise between look and performance.

18's are for blingbling'n
if your lowered, you may need to get your fenders rolled too.

and 18's will do you no good for autox except cost you more $ to replace the rubbers

Ummm...ur a dummy. We arent talking about wheel widths.

Do you think a 17 inch wide wheel will fit an S2000?
Sit back, crack open a cold beer, and think about it for a second....
