Default Hello everyone.

Hi everyone this is my first post on here so hope it's in the right place. Anyway my name is Maria I live in Southampton and I have just picked up my S2000 (on saturday). Its metallic grey not sure of official Honda colour it's got red leather interior and drive's oh so luvly. It's a year 2000 with mega low miles (13800) one owner from new, have had lots of top down action over the last couple of days and am loving every minute. Hope too come too a few of the meets and mingle with other owners, my husband was at JAE and said he saw the S2000 stand and was well impressed with the number of cars there. Also I have my first tech question I want too upgrde the alloys to 18 inch, could anybody advice on tyre sizes. I have noticed that they roll with different profiles and widths front and rear, what would be the best setup for 17's and 18's. Been looking at some nice Racing Hart alloys but abit on the steep side price wise.
Hope too see you all soon lots top down fun people, luv from Maria.
