I'm on my 3rd season with a set of ASA rims. I have the FR1's which last time I checked were no longer being manufactured by ASA but now are made by SHUK. I no longer see them listed as being available for the S2000. These wheels are forged 2 piece and were one of a handful of rims available to use with the correct offset for an S2000. The rims you're asking about I probably of equal quality to Honda's OEM rims and should pose no problem under normal use.

We are the importer of the wheels into the US. They use BBS technology to produce the wheels. They are JWL approved and they are X-rayed and leak tested for every wheel. The finish and quality is very good. If I can help let me know.
Thank you,
