Here are some replicas: http://www.wtwcorp.com/gracing/wheels.php?...&wbrand=gracing

You will have to research whether or not you want to make the sacrifices necessary to run them because I doubt the offsets are going to be that good.

If I were you I would stick with the stockies and save up for your next set of tires and an alignment. If you can get out to a local auto-x so you can enjoy the car and learn how the handle it.

No matter how little work you are doing, you are working for slave wages. You could be spending your time actually making a lot of money. For instance, for a lunch shift at work, if I make LESS than 100 dollars in cash, I am very unhappy. Keep in mind, this is for a lunch shift for maybe 5 or 6 hours. Waiting tables is great money and something you should think about.

If you have to work, you may as well be making money. Once you're 18 years old, there's really no excuse to be making less than 10 dollars an hour. I'd keep that in mind. I know your job is easy and you get clothing discounts, but 5.75? I'm assuming your shifts are around 6 hours long, meaning you're making probably 20 bucks a shift after taxes. That kind of money is only really good for going to the movies with friends and hanging out and whatnot

If you want to spend money on your car, you need to make money. Go get a better job

Good luck
Justin

PS Check out some Rota wheels, they are knockoffs and they have some really nice wheels you could get. A set shipped to your door is generally 600 dollars. Keep in mind, most of the sets on their website will not fit our car, so you'll need to find something in higher offsets. If you're not sure what this means... it's time to start asking

i completely changed my mind on wheels. i have no clue what i want. i pay for half the car over 5 years back to my parents, so i appreciate it alot. and its not like im some dumb kid with a cool car. im a big honda enthusiaist. i know my honda crap. i've helped out with motor swaps, cam swaps, etc. I appreciate that my parents work their asses off everyday to buy ME a car that is the defenition of badass and I take care of it because i have to pay for a good 10 grand of it. I'm a nice dude too, at least i think so. or at least to other honda people. i tend to let them in in traffic more often than anyone else. and where i live, there arent that many s2k's so we all share a special bond driving down the road and show "S2k love". whatever. im an idiot.

If you want something bad enough, you'll get it.
I'm 18 now but got my car at 17 as well.
How'd I get it? Saved up since 8th grade at similar jobs as you and invested wisely. I had this car in mind the whole time (well actually an E46 M3 but I fell short!).

Not sure if there is a replica to the CE28n or not. Rota would be your best bet to find decent wheels for a good price.

Congrats on the car, too.

Giovanni makes the only replica (name of wheel = Seki) that I know of. Heavy, and I am not sure about offsets. Most likely wont fit.
