Default Kei Office Wheels?

Sorry if a repost, search is down.

Saw these on eBay, but now I can't find the auction anymore. I know absolutely nothing about this rim other than- they seem really light.

Will this offset fit the S2000 without requiring fender rolling or massive negative camber?

F 17x7 +50
R 17x8 +45

Thanks for your help!

Those will be just fine. You can run a 235/40/17 rear tire and have no rubbing issues or goto a 245 tire and you may rub over big holes but thats at a 2.0 inch drop or more. Most people will say they wont work. But having been working with wheels and offsets for this car for 5 years now you can go lower than what you have stated. Most people are way to conservative when it comes to wheel offsets/sizes.

Wow....12.5 lbs! I think these are lighter then the CE28N's! Judging from the offset and widths they *should* fit but might rub with an agressive ride height.

Anyone else heard of these? They kinda look like the regamasters...

16 and 17 inch Work emotions are lighter than CE28Ns. There are a few sets out there. You just have to search around.

It's not really my choice, I think the sizes I listed above are the ONLY sizes the wheels come in for the S2000 (!)

How much do 17" Work Emotions weigh? I know 12.5 lbs is pretty light for a 17"x7. How much lighter (if any) are the Works?

Thanks. One more simple question (search is down):

What are the stock F/R offsets on the AP1 OE wheels?

Thanks!

I stand corrected.


Agreed that the setup will work with 235's in the rear.. any wider with a drop will rub on hard dips.
