I was admiring your RE30s at last weekends BBQ. They sure are nice though, and you don't see too many of them around.
Thanks!

Weds for my next wheels!!!

I my weds as no one has them and CE28's and RE30's, while sweet wheels, are rather common for the s2000.

The 17x8/9 +49 fits the s2000 perfect, I'm pretty low with no rubbing and non rolled fenders. I'm running OEM AP2 tire sizes right now but could run 225/255 if I wanted (will be next time)







Though, feel free to get the Volks so I can stay unique and not worry about my wheels becoming too common!
Your car is what sold me on those weds

So if I go with more wheel do I need less offset?? I thought about 17X 8.5 +32 for front, will that work?? And 17x 9.5 + 32 rear. I'm a wheel noobie, Wondering if I can get away with it without flaring the fenders, I don't mind to roll the lip but I don't wanna have to flare them out. I'm running -2 camber front and -2.7 rear. Also I have about 1/2" to 3/4" fender gap all around.

I went with the RE-30s mainly because of the fitment issue. I dont know
what your going to pay for the Wedsports, but you may end up paying close
to what i paid for my RE-30s to make them work on your car. I do like
the weds their a very nice looking wheel, and if fitment wasnt as issue
i would have considered getting them.

IN order to run those offsets, you have to dial in about -3* camber, roll and flare you fenders, and likely run down sized tires.

Anything in the 45+ and up range will fit MUCH better as far as offsets go with optimal being in the 50-60 range. However, its a lot easier to fit a +45 than a +32.

I'm thinking gunmetal too, they don't have bronze.
