Default Need a recommend for a new wheels.

I can't decide for a new wheels in 17inch between Rota Torque, Varrstoen ES220(TE37) and ES330(CE28) and Enkei RPF1. I'm not a big fan of stance i like Japanese style and i have a few question.
1. I need to know what size in 17inch is fit for my 2002 AP1?
2. If u guys have some pictures, can u show me?

I'm a new for s2000, i hope some help me. Thanks

Read the wheel fitment guide for what 17's fit. Out of those options I say rfp1's because varrstoens don't offer good sizes for the s2000 and they are heavy and the rotas are rotas so the enkeis are the best choice. For pictures just search there is a million pictures of the enkei's and same with the rotas the varrstoens will have less pictures because they don't fit well.

Yes if you roll your fenders and relocate the bumper tabs.

I'd also go with the RPF1's, you can get them in the standard silver, black, gold, or for more money (though not through tire rack) , SBC which is shiny. I'd choose the highest offset (+45) as they will fit better than the lower offsets.

As to the sizing, I'd consider two options. One is to go 17x8 up front, 17x9 in the rear, and my other choice would be to run 17x9 on all fours.

The RPF1 is probably the most common aftermarket wheel on the S2000, and it's for good reason. The only way you can get a quality aftermarket wheel with a high enough offset to not roll the fenders is to spend more money, usually *much* more as you may already be aware.

Here's one of multiple RPF1 threads, you aren't going to be able to sift through all the pictures.

Again just search. Rolling the fenders isn't hard but if you have never done it I suggest finding someone that has. Post in your local sub forum to see who people go to. A fender roller isn't cheap either so find someone that does it in your area.
