hey guys im a new s2000 owner and i have a few questions. i bought my s2000 a week ago and im loving it 
but im ready for more power. im probably going to go with an inline pro turbo kit but my question right now has to do with wheels and tires. what size wheels should i get if im just looking for performance? any tire recommendations? i really like the work emotion xd9 wheels, can someone help me out with the best size, width and offsets? thanks alot

Performance as is lightest wheel? Or to run wider tires for auto x or what? Going with lightweight wheels should make a nice difference. If you can get some lighweight 16" wheels that will fit that would be best. If not and your on a budget some Enkei RPF1's are nice wheels and for 17's they weigh like 15 lbs or so.

Direzzi or howvere it is spelled star spec tires. 225/45/17 fronts and 255/40/17 rear should be good. Do some searching though. These are all extremely common questions and have been answered hundreds of times...

225/255. Should be plently of with if you choose the right tire.
Brand-wise, I'd say the Dunlop Star Specs and Bridgestone RE-01s are popular. They just got rid of the RE-01s though and replaced them with the RE-11s. Haven't heard anything about the new Bridgestones yet, but sheck with Jim @ Tire Rack and he should be able to help you out.
