Thumbs up Snow Wheels/Tires

I was wondering if I could use my rota slipstream 17x7.5 5x114.3, for winter/snow tires for an s2000, would this work?

I'm not sure, but try the tire and wheel forum. You might get better answers there.

To be more precise the wheels are 17x7.5 and 5x114.3 and a +55 offset. They are exactly the same demensions as my tsx wheels
could these work as snow wheels for an s2k

All four are that size? The car will not handle very predictably with non-staggered tire sizes.

Its understandable but not a big deal beacus those wheels are cheap so it will only cost an extra $300

Another question would the weight of the wheel effect preformance in the snow? because i think these wheels only weigh 17 pounds each

You would want to make sure on the center bore. The S2K is larger on the front than the rear. You would not want to have a vibration all winter long. You can stagger the tires slightly with the same size wheels.
If I can help let me know.
