Even though there are a ton of s2k's with RPF1's, i'd still have to go with the RPF1's out of those.

In this buy it's all about looks. I know Enkei is a better performance wheel but it's all looks on this one.

For the look, i vote in Rota Grid (TE37)

I also think they look great, especially with a small ET for the concave look. But remember smaller ET means wheels are further away from struts.

I leave here a cool video that shows S2k with concave TE37. This car belongs to the user jkl-ap1.

Some pics of the same car.





I'll put here some pictures of what we are talking to see the look of the car with the wheels mounted.

Yellow S2k with TE37.





Yellow S2k with RPF1.

I vote RPF1, it really is a lot more wheel for the money. The Grids won't look exactly like those TE37's that are posted. Yes, the spokes concave, but because of the high offset (compared to concave TE37), the spokes stick out past the lip of the wheel and then concave in. Either way, black is going to hide a lot of the spoke detail so I would go with the lighter wheel.
