Hey Cebeyond, or anybody, would 17s look allright at stock height? Any pics anybody?

 

18s look perfectly fine on an S2000. I'm running BBS RG-R, 18x9.0 and 18x10.5 with 265/35 and 295/30 Pilot SCs. There's no way those will fit on your S2000, but they look damn good. Nice and chunky.

Granted, on stock ride height, an 18in rim will look a little goofy (like it's been lifted), but lowering springs are a cheap and effective fix to that.

 

Another option would be to buy some used wheels. Not sure if you are into that or not but being a college student myself and not being able to work full time, its a pretty good route to go. Just make sure you see some good quality pictures and make sure you are buying from a reputable person. Do some research on the person, see if they are legit.

I was just about in the same boat as you, I had about $1300 dollars to get some new wheels before I replaced my much needed tires so I decided I was going to buy some lower brand wheels. It just so happened that the day I went to order them, they were out of stock. I looked around a week or so and found some 18in SSR Competitions in good shape for $1600. They only needed new rear tires so I am at about $2000. They are good looking wheels, light weight, and have a good offset. I may have been able to find a better deal but I was WAY out of tread on my tires. Good Luck.

Also I have some pictures of the front stock wheel and the rear with the 18in SSR to give you and idea of the different sizes and how they look. Just let me know your e-mail and I will send you the pic, or if anyone wants to volunteer to post it up because im not very good at posting pictures yet. haha.


Oh and im at stock height!

 

Yea man, I'm at GADZOOX632@aol.com

 

i agree with used wheels. if you're only gonna keep them temporarily, just get something to hold u off. if u buy new cheap wheels, u just eat depreciation on wheels u dont want. buy USED cheap wheels, sell them when u get that uber job!

 

Sent you an e-mail!

 

I would go for a used set of 17's off of an 04' or get the Shuk wheels from tirerack.com. They already have a gunmetal finish and fit real good on the S. If you buy 18's the tires for them are real expensive to be replaced. That is another factor for buying wheels.

The Shuk wheels are 1448 w/ tires mounted. You could probably drop the price another $100 dollars if you choose another tire. They also have some ASA wheels in silver for:

Hey Jeff, where are you seeing 1400 w/ tires or tirerack.com, because I could not find them. Are you looking at 17s or 18s? Thanks everybody for the help

 

Those were 17's.
