Default Need some suggestions

I'm looking for wheels to put on my BB AP1, but I have no idea what to get.

I think I want some in black with a polished lip, but I wouldn't be opposed to some nice regular silver ones or gunmetal ones either, but definitely not any other color like gold or white.

The most important thing is that they are not crazy expensive and will not require any modifications from stock like fender rolling or something like that. Basically I want them to be able to go on a stock AP1 with no issues.

I looked on tirerack, but none of those really appealed to me that much, so I'm asking you guys for some suggestions.

Thanks,
-TerminatioN

Do you want light weight wheels or straight up bling?

Kind of in the middle I suppose, they don't have to be extremely light, but I don't want them to be extremely heavy either.

I guess what I'm saying is looking good is more important than being extremely light, as long as they aren't too heavy.

I think those are CE28 Volks from Ray Engineering. They're light and strong. Ray makes one of the best if not the best wheels. However, a brand new set can go anywhere from $2500 to more than $3000 w/o tires. I suggest getting somewhere near stock weight and not much heavier or you might feel the car's acceleration sluggish. S2000 is a sport car and it deserves to have performance-oriented parts.

You can look at some nice wheels called LM from BBS. They're definitely nice and very good wheels. Pricey as well.

I would suggest some Enkei RPF-1. They run around 1000 for the set and weigh 15lbs front and 16lbs rear. For the money, you can't beat that. And I really like them haha.

Use http://www.wheelweights.net/ as a reference to your choices. I think 1 to 2lbs heavier than stock is fine.


Just my 2cents. Some people like it straight up bling tho haha

I sort of like the Enkei RPF-1's, but I'm not sure if I really want the all black look or want something with a polished lip.

Other than RPF-1's any other decent wheels that are relatively inexpensive and fit my criteria?
