haha your poll only got one choice, also the volks has wayyy better fitment as the advan will probably rub on hard bump if you going with stock ap2 tire sizes I should know as I got wheels with those same size and offset....the advan is nice but fitment is alright, while the volks has better/almost perfect fitment but everyone and their mom have those wheels.....

I like the looks of the Advan so much better. I've seen just waaaay too many of those Volks on S2000s.

BUT

You could use wider tires on the Volks because the offset is higher, and this IS a sports car...

Well, I dunno, but with a 255 on the Advans you'll be close to rubbing (you're lowered, right?) I think, but with the volks a 255 would be a walk in the park.

Yeah, wheel shops can polish lips. Depending on the shop.

Don't make the mistake thinking the Volk offsets are a little better, the Volk offsets are MUCH better. MS is a beautiful color.
