Default Replacement wheels

I am looking for an extra set of wheels to run race tires. I want to stay SCCA B-Stock, which means (I think) retaining the stock diameter, width, and offset.

What other cars run the same wheel as the S? If I go to a tire store looking for used S2000 wheels, all I get are blank looks. If I asked for take-offs from an S2000 or a ___ or a ____ that might increase my chances of success.

Any ideas?

Same width and diameter are required, but you can swing 5mm in offset either way AFAIK.

I still don't think that'll give you any options. The front rims are the same as 5th gen prelude wheels - base or type s, but a 16x7.5 +65? Maybe the old NSX or some of the new acura sedans?

I've seen plenty of s2000 wheels for sale online though.
Here are some on ebay for $450 shipped (that's a good price):

another set:

One more thing though - doesn't the 2004 S2000 have different sizes? If it's staying in the same class, will you be able to run the new sizes?

Most people race on the stock wheels and then buy the plus 1 or 2 wheels and tires for the street. You can run the 225/50R16 front and 245/45R16 rear on your stock wheels for racing.
If I can help let me know.
