Default Better looking 18" wheels than BBS LMs?

Hi guys,

I want to buy a set of 18" wheels for my Silverstone S2000. The only wheels I have considered so far are the BBS LMs. I like the BBS since they are elegant and timeless looking. Also, they look hot on an S2000 in my opinion.

Are there better looking choices in your opinion for a sporty and elegant looking 18" wheel? Please post some pics if you have them.

Thanks

I agree with that statement. Get what you are happy with, not what everyone else likes.

I agree with what you guys are saying. I just am not too familiar with the wheel offerings for the S2000. Personally, I like European/racing style wheels that are not blingy.

I am not too fond of Volks, since they seem very common. I was at the JGTC a few years back with over 100 other NSXs and at least 40% had Volk wheels. The 19" HREs on my car stood out and was much more rare. However, I have heard Volks are excellent quality and light.

What other wheels offer a racing look similar LMs and are a rare sight on the S2000?

Are there manufacturers that make a reverse lip for that deep lip look for the S2000?

Thanks for your help.

First off, S2000's by nature are RARE... meaning, you don't see them ALL the time...

VOLK's are expensive wheels, man... EVERYBODY does not have them, LOL...

I would just go with what YOU like... don't worry about what everybody else has...

I like the LM's... I also really like My 18" Volk GT-7's...

You are probably right. Heck the NSX was rare, but when you see 100 of them together and they all have Volks, it kind of skews your perception a little.

Do you have pics of your Vols on your car by chance?

Thanks.
