After a quick search I found this pic & thought "I quite like those".



Can anyone tell me the make and where to get them please.

Enkei RPF1 & America


Note that the ones with the correct offsets do not look as cool as the ones you see above and unless you are willing to do some arch work they won't fit.


I suggest you search the forums for RPF1 pictures and you will find many, it's the most common wheel they use on the american boards.

Christ they are popular. I've gone off them now.

I want to get some with a bit of a dish.

Plenty of reading up for you to do. Wheels have come up about three times in the last week in this forum with lots of links. If you want dish, understand offset and how that will effect fitment and handling on the s2000.

What's the wheel spec and tyre size and how much camber do you have?

I know about offsets etc.

My S is on Eibach Pro springs so lowered about 20mm.ish. I don't want to be messing with rolling arches or anything else, I just want to fit & go. I wouldn't mind just replacing the MY04s with another decent set of Honda OE wheels. I've looked everywhere on the web to try & get a price for OE wheels but I can't find anything, not even on the Honda website.
