i wouldnt recommend rotas for an s2k. i once had rotas in my integra, and after about 25,000 miles on them. when i had to replace my tires, i noticed that when they put them on the wheel balancer the wheels were not perfectly straight.
speaking from experience...
you have an s2k bro... you cant go cheap on it!!!

I've had 13 cars and experienced many different wheels and here is my conclusion.
Axis- finish doesn't hold up well, axis stickers will fall off and so will the rivets.
SSR- Had them on my 3 series and at the track I lost control went in the grass and some how bent 2 of the wheels.
HRE- beautiful wheel but very soft and bent easy although I complained and warranty replaced them.
Oettinger- I had the 3 piece Rz's which where $1200 a wheel and i hit a pothole going around fifty and split the wheel in half so I had to buy another wheel for 1200 bucks
was awesome.
Spoon- which were 450 a wheel and I bent one hitting a pothole on the express way. if anyone was wondering upstate ny roads suck. Instead of buying a new one i sold the other 3 and went Rota for the same price as one spoon sw388 and hey guess what they worked just the same, I noticed no difference in driving and I used the extra money and put it in the motor where I did notice the difference.
I've had alot more wheels but I'm tired of writing but my point is all wheels have issues and if you don't have money for expensive wheels then certain knock offs with a good track record for real track time are a good alternative. Not to mention it feels good to pay $150 to replace a wheel then $600 plus.
P.S. most people who bash rotas probably don't take there $2500 set of wheels to the track any ways to utilies them.
