I might be wrong but...I reckon those wheels with the concave shape will be a low offset(et20 or thereabouts)
It seems near on impossible to get a concaved wheel in the correct off-set for the s2000.
And if they do them wheels in the correct off-set they won't be concaved

Ah man!!! That's why i like them!! No concave completely changes my opinion on them!

I've asked Chris at Tarmac Sports about them....

Do you know of any concave wheels for the s2000??

There was a car at Ace Cafe this year with a nice set of 18s on.

They were a dark color, red nuts, red s2000.

Stud pattern is 5x114.3
It's not just wheel offset that dictates brake caliper clearance--the design / shape of the wheel spokes also plays a big part

For example, there is plenty of clearance for the Brembos on my S, which has 17x7.5 front wheels with a +48 offset

i mean you can make anything fit if you want to, but they will be nowhere near fitting on standard arches without looking absolutely poop...

Looking at the sizes available on their website, the offsets they do the wheels in will give you, in effect, about an inch extra width compared to the outer face of the OEM wheel, then factor in the extra actual width of the wheel if you go wider than standard and you're looking at the edge of the rim sitting 1.5-2" further out than OEM.

That means body work and/or stupid camber required.

It may look like the car has a big gap to fill in the arches, but Visually, just 10-15mm makes a significant difference.
