Not for sale, but I really like my CE28Ns - except for the fact that the fronts stick out a tad too far. I had a little rubbing on the front right until I put on the stiffer suspension. But otherwise the sizes are perfect, they look great, and they're very light.

IMO, the CE28N's are the way to go. Stefan's Prodrives are also nice, just not quite as light. Hey, why not a set of SSR Competitions? 17" will be available end of July for the S2000.

I assumed you were using the new wheels for street, and your OEMs for autocrossing. If you want them for street, are you really concerned about weight? I think svann's wheels (Prodrives) are the best looking wheels I've seen yet.

Tirerack does not show those Prodrive wheels fit the S2000 anymore. I am leaning towards the ASA FR1 at this point. Thanks guys....

I just remembered about the American Racing "Teddy Bear" forged carbon fiber wheels that are available in the perfect offsets and weigh only 4 lbs for $127.50 shipped! They are SWEET!
