What are they ? Is it worth it ? Jim. i have looked at some of your wheels on Tirerack's web site, if you could add to this, i would like to have your thoughts.

Thanks to all

Bill

 

18" wheels and tires are generally more expensive, and are heavier. 17" wheels and tires are lighter and much cheaper. therefore 17"s are the way to go for performance. 18"s are the way to go for better looks. That's why I have 17" RPF1's for summer/autocross and my old 18" wheels for winter/daily driving.

 

Advantages, can't think of any unless you need to go SUPER wide for big FI power, which will entail fender mods, custom sizing, etc.

Disadvantages: Generally more expensive, Usually significantly heavier, Tires much more expensive. Worse ride. More easily bent/damaged by potholes/curbs.

 

tires are expensive enough for the s2000. I dont want to look at 18" tires! lol

 

No, no, no, no, unless I'm racing you. Cost and weight as everyone says.

 

This is kinda what i thought, but wasnt really sure. My 04 AP2 wheels
are looking dated. I need some new shoes any suggestions.

Not tires, wheels.....i should have been more specific.

 

I've had a few sets of 18s and Im over it. Even though my 18 Volk Te37s are much lighter than an AP2 wheel, the AP2s feel much better. I guess its due to the rolling diameter, not the weight.

just my .02
