Default AP2's running on 16" Spoon wheels?

i'm trying to decide between the ce28's, le28's and the spoon wheels. i'm planning on running the new wheels on street and track, and i believe the spoon wheels will give me better track runs given that they're smaller in diameters.

and what are your thoughts about spoon wheels on AP2's? pros and cons?

spoon wheels are light compared to the OEM wheels, BestMotoring tested stock ap1 on 16's, and stock ap1 with ap2 oem wheels + tires, and with the 17inch wheels on the AP1 it pulled a better track time.. so im not sure, u can always try it out and if you dont like the spoons you can give them to a fellow san diego s2000 owner

You can order CE28's in 16" too, so it shouldn't be a CE28 vs. Spoon thing... it should be a 16" vs. 17" thing

You've got a torque-monster AP2, so I'd just splurge and get the 17" CE28's. They're already going to be lighter than your stock wheels.
