All the alternatives are horrible bar the OEM 17s which are ok.
More importantly, what happened to the old car?
And how is your ASBO/MILF count?
somebody remembered the ASBO/MILF count
I sold my old S2 to help with starting a garage about a year and a half ago, sadly the new owner wanted the stickers removed but kept everything else.
I dont know why but I just dont the jdm wheels, I do fancy a set of OEM ones but been looking on ebay for the past month and nothing is really coming up.
I really did not know the BBS LM's were a heavy wheel
so at least it can be narrowed down to the oem wheels the blitz 01's or the Work VS wheels.
I dont know why but these wheels never really jumped out at me, I think there is a set for sale on PH for 550 with rubber but I really want a set of 2 piece wheels, we are all different and thats what makes the world such a great place
I used to have BBS LMs...theyre the best forged split rims available for any car. I only changed as i needed wheels to accommodate a BBK. The fact that F1 teams use their rims speaks volumes for the company. My second choice is the JDM BBS
i used to have LMs on my old silverstone, and at the time they were the one wheel I lusted after ever since first seeing them, and at the time I loved them.
for me now however LMs just dont float my boat, they are gorgeous wheels, but maybe its because of the huge influx of the VW boys rolling the reps that has ruined them for me.
out of the bunch the Works VS XX really do it for me, I know they are a similar style to the LMs, but they just work better for me.
I was in a similar situation when I bought my s2000, I liked the stock 07 wheels but wanted to personalise my car a little so decided on changing my wheels. I used to have BBS LM's on my old car and thought I'd get them again for the S but after doing some research I found out that they only come in sizes and offsets that look good and fit the S2000 in 18's and I really did not want to fit 18's so gave up on having LM's. 17 inch Lm's will go on an S2000 but unless you get them in 8x17 and 9x17 with a 35 offset the dish on the rims are too small and they just don't look right, and then even if you do get them in 8/9x17 et35 you end up having to roll the arches, run too much camber etc just to get them to fit right.
The S2000 isn't blessed with a huge amount of power and Torque but due to it's suspension it can really exploit what it has got so the last thing I wanted to do was fit heavy wheels that would sap power, increase the unsprung weight and compramise the handling. I decided in the end that light weight Japanese wheels in sizes similar to stock(with a little more agressive offsets than stock for that arch filling look) was the way forward. I ended up buying these from Japan
p800bry I Would have the SE37's in a heartbeat but finding them in the UK is near enough impossible, I love those wheels but i came to the realisation that if I wanted a set I would have to import them or buy new which I really cant justify at this point...
Can I ask the sizes on yours they look great! I would have to get them in bronze though
