Smile Wheels.

Hey guys,

Ok, I neeeed some wheels! I really want to buy a nice set of wheels for my S2, but have no clue what to get as there doesn't seem to be hardly any available? Could you UK peeps give me some ideas? I want to go for 18's for starters. Will be lowering the car with Eibach springs which is around 25mm I believe?? And I don't want to have to roll the arches. Is this too much to ask? It's driving me crazy trying to find some. I hope you guys can help. I like the look of a few 5 and 6 spoke designs but am finding brick walls where ever I look. Being new to Honda, I don't know if it's just me not knowing where to look or if it's the wheel manufacturers just being crap. So if you guys can give me some ideas with wheels that will have no issues that I can buy in this country please please help. A link would be great for where to buy from too.

Thanks in advance,

Chad.

I think it may be an idea to try doing a search. I think that someone may have asked this question before.

The offsets are S2000 friendly and work well with this car.

Hey, thanks for the offers guys, but I'm really not a big fan of the BBS style. And yeah, I've done searches but I really aint having any luck. I've looked on all the wheels websites I can think of and there are no wheels that will fit properly if I go off the wheel guide on here. Stud pattern isn't an issue to find, it's the offsets. So I was looking for advice on where to buy from.

Chad.

Though you haven't ed your news ones yet

OP - I bought far too many sets of alloys for the S and only got a couple to fit well on a lowered car.

Laterly I ALWAYS used this calculator to check the differences to the OEM wheels

This forum is also very useful!

There are quite a lot of wheels available for the S2000. The problem is that most originate from Japan--the easiest and cheapest way to obtain some would be to look at import part suppliers in the UK or suppliers in the US who will ship to the UK. Either way a decent set could cost more than £2000.

Alternatively you could get some Rotas.
