Default 17" Wheels for the S2000

Who actually makes 17" wheels in the proper offset for the S2000. I know Tire Rack carries only two models and I know there are the Mugens. What other wheels are the right offset, and where can I find them (and/or pictures of them)?

Offset isn't bad...but you can't slam the car.

Excuse my stupidity but what does offset mean??

I was looking at Mille Miglia Evo wheels. Do they have proper offset? (whatever that is)

Offset is the distance from the centerline of the wheel to the plane of the wheel's mounting surface. The wheels for the S2000 have very high offset which makes it difficult to find aftermarket replacements. If you get wheels with less offset, they get pushed outboard. Some like the look of a wheel that sits flush with the bodywork, or even sticks out a bit. However, you can run into interference issues with the wheel well lip, especially if the car is lowered.
