Haha... I'm not pioneer. People have been running 19s for years. I'm the third owner of these wheels, I'm just the first one to make them look good

Seriously, all I did was change the color of them and make them look new again. Thank you though.

Rule of thumb in weight reduction: Each pound of unsprung weight you drop has the same effect as 4 pounds taken off the body.

I'm looking for some 10 pound wheels, not 80 pound wheels.

You know... it's getting to be a tired argument. Nobody thinks putting huge wheels on a car is going to positively affect the car's performance. However, if it's a street driven car, it should NEVER be driven near it's performance potential. So... buy whatever YOU think looks good. 99% of people buy wheels as automotive jewelry. It's a fashion item.

Because YOU guys prefer the lightweight small wheel look, doesn't mean he's stupid for considering 20s. Hell, my car has gigantic (for an S2000) HREs, and my favorite S2000 ever is the Opera lightweight race car. People's styles differ. Wheels like this are about style. If you don't like the style say so. But the same beaten horse about "Well you know, you're going to lose .2 seconds from 40-70 when merging on the interstate because the reciprocating mass of your gigantic... blah blah blah" is getting a little long in the tooth.

i dont think the wheels would look good on the s2k.

not because 20s will be heavy as hell and youll notice your s2k got slower.

but because the proportion of the cars look/size wont match the 20s.

its kind of like seeing those old cadilacs(sp?) with 20+ rims on it. looks goofy.

or think about an EG civic with 18s.



basically. the s2k is a small looking car. and large wheels will mess up this proportion.
