Just curious, the wheels that I saw and am currently dreaming about seem to only be made in 19 and I've seen maybe 2-3 pics of the S with em and dunno if I like the bigness factor.

As the S2000 is a rather light car with modest torque available, I think that keeping unsprung weight as low as possible is rather important. I have an '04 and periodically look around for significantly lighter wheels in the stock sizes. they are not easy to find. Even the lightest 18" wheels are likely to be heavier than even the stock wheels.

I like 17s - You can stay very lightweight, they look plenty big on a car the size of the s2k, and you've still got a good amount of sidewall for when you hit those potholes. I had 18" BBS RCs on my GTI (with 225/40/18 rubber), and was always worried about them....finally did bend one slightly while driving up in NY. IMO, roads around me are bad enough that 18s just aren't worth it.
