If you check the Wheel Classifieds, there are a few sets of S2000 spec CE28n for sale
Thanks for the recommendation, I really like those wheels. As for the gunmetal Advan RZ wheels, did you need to do anything special to make those fit?

Also, could you give me a link to the wheel classifieds? Nothing comes up under search when I type that in.

If you don't want to modify anything have your OEM wheels refurbished or buy a clean set and buy good tires.
"Modify" as in roll fenders, rip wheel liners out, run mad camber. I want the car modified, but I don't want to look like a ricer trash pile that someone took a pair of pliers to. Most fender work I have seen has been shoddy at best. I don't like that. I really like my cars to have a perfect body.
I know what you meant by modify. My suggestion still stands. I also suggest you read some of the threads at the top of this page. This on in particular https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/102...ling-tips-etc/

You do not know what you are talking about or what is involved with rolling the fenders. You do not rip out the fender liners. You do not need "mad camber". I suggest finding out who people go to in your local area for rolling fenders and also do look at cars that they have done. I know there is a lot of crap work out that but thats from morons using a baseball bat or pipe to roll their fenders. There is a way to do it right where it is barely visible or not visible at all.

As for wheels that require zero fender work you have to have near oem specs like others said above. TSW, Enkei, Volk and a few others if you search make wheels in these specs. However if you lower the car the front can still be an issue due to the wheel turning. So long as the car isn't slammed its usually not an issue but under the right circumstances it can be an issue.

Lol yeah, specifically said I don't know anything about it. Just saying I would rather not do anything like that. As for the fender work I have seen in my area, none of it is nice. Not really a fan of stock ap2 wheels. So what happens if someone f@#ks up my fenders? Is there any real benefit to fender rolling other than being able to install a specific set of wheels? Is it really worth the trouble?

The benefit is your wheels don't damage your fenders. You open your choices of wheels up dramatically. I gave you some options if you don't want to roll the fenders. There aren't a lot. Good luck. Maybe take some time to learn and then approach it with more understanding.

Did you ask in your local sub forum who those guys have used or for pictures of the work?

Lol. If you want no fender mods you don't want my wheel setup. All the info is in my build thread link in my signature.
