Default New wheels

I posted some pictures on another thread of mine but decided to start a new here for people looking for wheel choices. Wheel sizes are: front 17x8 offset of 54 and rear 17x10 offset of 73. They custom made by Intro Forged and they do have different styles to choose from. These happen to be their FS6 2 piece wheel with gunmetal centers and a polished lip. The car is lowered about an inch and I have no rubbing issues. Since these were the first one's they made for the S2000 ,according to them, I thought I would share.

Being that these are wide rims it increases the weight. By getting a smaller width wheel will reduce weight alot. Also the swift according to Vince is a lighter wheel than this style. With that being said they weigh in about 21lbs average. No feather weight but not to terrible heavy considering there is 10 inches of metal in the rear. Would not suggest this width and style if your goal is to run 1/4 miles. I am probably going to get some lighter rims made for track use (or use stocks) I would talk to Vince about what weights would be in different styles and sizes, I would hate give out wrong information.
