Manga, the PF07 is new to the states but have been in Japan for a year or two now. Really hoping they bring the gtc01rr here so you don't have to special order.

Cool. Nice to see more mid range wheel choices.

Enkei I wish they made more wheels in sbc. I would easily grab pf01 in sbc. Not a fan of the 2 other wheels they offer. I love the volks I see but it does seem I would have have them polished and I'd rather have an OEM finish because polish requires upkeep to keep from oxidation. More ideas? I'm seriously leaning to work metal buff cr kiwamis.

SSR Comp 18x9 + 55 offset... One of the few wheels with a concave face and no rolling needed on a S2k. They also make a 17x9 +55offset, same face.

One of the lightest 18x9s available....17.0 lbs

Who owns this? Need these sizes for rear PF01SS , probably would do regular PF01 up front to increase the difference in look more.



I think it would be worth it to just get these and have them polished.

Well unfortunately I'm no closer to finding a set of wheels.

The more I thought about PF01, I just realize they are RPF1's with one less set of spokes. I would go through all that trouble of buying, and getting them polished, and my car would look the same. Also after its all said and done, I would be spending Volk/Work money on them.

And as far as top level wheels, I already bought a pair for that Prelude, and with my specific sizing/concavity taste it ended up being a set perfectly matched for that car, which means I couldn't take them with me. I dont want to get a set of wheels of that level and not take them with me. Next nice car is a G37, or Evo X, wheels bought for the S2K are not going to be a fit.

I really hate this car for fitment/looks. You apparently cant have both.

Why not just roll your fenders and be done with it.

^ Dont trust anyone to do it clean. I have seen some rough shit on S2K. I could understand doing an old Civic (if you must- I also have an EK Civic, and I wont roll it or stance it either). Surprises me that someone would do that to a car with actual worth.

However I have found a set of wheels. PIAA Style D's. 17x8 17x9 +35. So just a +10 difference.



This really saves me from a lot of BS. As 'perfect' of a sizing as I could ask for without ordering brand new. Different enough from the RPF1's. Plan is to get then redone. Fully polish lips, and teal/blue centers with a prism clear. I'll keep the Enkeis around.

Uhhhhhhhh so you think those will fit without having the fenders rolled? You'd be wrong. The fronts are 32.7mm further out from stock and the rears will poke out 36.4mm more than before (comparison is to OEM AP2 wheels).

They absolutely require a fender roll and tab relocation.
