No way, black hands down.

Silver looks decent on NFR and BB due to the contrasting colors, but extremely bland on SSM and Sebring. Just check out the RPF1 and Silverstone threads. Black RPF1s on Silverstone is absolutely sinister, especially if you get the concave, fat-lipped 17x9 +45 or more aggressive. What really convinced me was seeing a black set on a local member's Sebring - was definitely an OMG moment. I've seen silver RPF1s on other silver S2000s, and it's just...meh.

Depends on the theme/look your going for. If you want a classic, cleaner look(grown up?)silver works best I think. If you want to make a more blunt statement, black would probably work better. I've got silver rpf1's on my spa. 11.5" concave face in the rear. and 8.5 convex face up front. So you could say I’m hitting both points. But I say if your not sure, always default to silver, it’s the safe choice on any color, you cant go wrong with it.

Good assessment, and I agree. Silver is the safe choice. 11.5" in the rear though? Holy snikeys! Any pictures?

I'm terrible about taking pics, but i had a buddy take a few for a different thread I posted in recently. Its all I have. Here is that thread if your interested in looking at my ride with the 11.5" rears. https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/907...mho-295-35-17/

Damn, with that fat rear end, any color will do. They can be pink and still badass. Wow. Good work, s2000Junky.
