hey guys, sorry if its in the wrong section, if you can please move it to the right one i would appreciate it. thanks. i was wondering if anyone has any BBS rims on their s2k? i can't decide btw bbs LM, bbs rgr's, or the rg-f's or the work vs-xx's. thanks guys.
There is a tire and wheel section that would be more appropriate for this question.
Specifically what questions do you have about the wheels? All the wheels you listed are from very respectable companies and tend to be pretty expensive. Try doing a search for BBS or Work wheels and you should get a ton of hits for pictures. There is also a wheel thread in the gallery that will probably give you some good examples.
There is a set of RGR's for sale in the forsale section right now.
Here is a picture of my Berlina with LM's my favorite wheel.

Honestly can you stop posting those pics, I can't afford new rims right now, my bank will hurt you By the way that is soooo sexy.
I ran 18" RGR's for a while, then went to 17" Volks. The RGR's looked great, but I like the handling and acceleration more with 17's. My 18's rubbed on the front fender a little, the Volks solved that problem.
both cars are beautiful. how did you guys like the wheels? if you had the LM's in 17's would you ahve kept them or it was just that VOLK was a better wheel? how many lbs were the RGR's and the LM's? do you guys know? do you know if they come in deep dish or not? and what does the offset affect because i have NO clue what size offsets to get i have no knowledge of it. how can i improve the handling/acceleration of the car with the rims? 17's good? offset affect it or anything? or the 17X8.5 sizes affect it? (talking about the 8.5 part) lol
17" in LM is just too small. 18" is the way to go with LM. LM for the S2K are 18x8 for the front and 18x9.5 for the back. They're about 21 to 22 lbs. RGR are 18x7.5 F, 18x8.5 B. About 18 lbs. Not much lip action with the BBS wheels due to our high offset!!! Take your time, when it comes to upgrade your wheels. If want deep dish, go with custom wheels from Iforged, Kinnese, HRE and Fikse. The ideal offset for the S2k are 49 to 56 for 7" to 8" wide rim. For the back 8" to 9" are 56 to 63 offset. 9.5" to 10.5" wide are 63 to 73 offset. Remember, high offset= no lip action! Light 17" Forged wheels from Volk, Mugen, Work and Buddyclub are the way to go if you want to improve the handling/acceleration. 18" wheels are more for looks. They are some light 18" wheels from Volk and Work wheels. It took me over a year to decide on the Work S1 3pcs wheels. I went from LM( too pricy) to Fikse F10( no lip action) to RGR(Back not wide enough) to Volk winning( 3 months wait and only 8" wide, offset??) to SSR GT3 (too heavy) to SSR Proffesor(too heavy, not fully forged).
so is 8.5 good for the back? prob. in the rgr's or work ss-xx's? does that mean i will get a deep dish look? or no? would that help my handling out as well?

By the way that is soooo sexy.
