Default Where to buy wheels?

Anyone point me in the right direction? Cant seem to find anyone that sells correct offset and sizes for what i want, or i have someone
trying to sell me that isn't going to fit.Seems to be very difficult to find wheels for the s2000 or am i missing something? Ive tried
the search tool and everyone says something different. Dont want to spend money and then they dont fit and cause further issues down the line.

There are very few wheels that are a good fit for the S2000.

Many on here care more about how they look rather than how well they fit.

Agreed.

It is possible to have Work make you wheels that fit as they can build to spec. See driftworks.

Unless you want to run silly camber, or want to roll you arches there are very few wheels to choose from. Enkei PF01 fit, however everyone and their mother have these.

Plenty of info on here!
https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/104..._will+they+fit

As stated above, depends what you want. find a wheel and make it fit...(within reason)
Enkei RPF1's seem a popular choice!

As said, Enkei PF01/PF01SS or RPF01 are a popular choice.

PF01 in 8j et50 and PF01SS in 9j et60 will fit straight on with a 225/245 staggered tyre set up and no arch work.

RPF01's will be 8j et45 & 9j et50 i think? Will be ok up front but you'll need to roll the rear arches and relocate the bumper tab from memory

Yes Enkei PFO1 fit a treat in 8J 50 and PFO1SS 9J 60 , I have federal 595 RSR tyres on in 225 45 17 and 255 40 17 both 94W , they fit without rubbing or any silly camber etc , my geo although slightly lower than OEM is virtually bog standard camber etc just about 25 mm lower .

I got mine from LSD in the US , £1100 USD , PLUS £102 tax on delivery , this included centre caps and chrome valves , they do negotiate on price so don't take their first offer if you use them

Looks are personal but I think these look ok , and not as common as RPFO1 , they are semi forged and fairly light , even tyre fitter commented on this . They are available in other colours to the bog standard silver I picked . Very good service from LSD which is more than I can say for UK suppliers of Rota and Enkei , of course are the makers of the OEM wheels or most of them on the S

Just fitted a set of OZ I-TECH Allerggerita HLT's to my AP1. They were as near as I could get to oem offsets etc. They look quite nice in Titanium Tech finish with my Monte Carlo blue S2K

All up just over £1500 fitted with Conti-Sport Contact 5's.
Tech. Spec. 17"x7" ET 49 front and 17"x8.5" Et 59 on the rear. Lowered the car first with Eibach Pro springs and there is plenty of clearance with 17" 215x 45 front and 245 x 40 rear. All very conservative I suppose but the car drives well so I'm happy, should have considered the 18's though.
Package came from Rimstyle in about 10 days as they had to bring the rims in from Italy.
