i heard that the rotas offsets dont fit the s2000. is this true? or do they make rotas to fit the s?

 

They don't. Unfortunate because they make some nice LIGHT wheels.

 

and INEXPENSIVE!


anyone ever experiment and run rota's on their s2k, please chime in and give us poor people some hope for "cheap" wheels

 

rota is rice thats all ...,

 

Yes, there are people on the board that have Rotas. Many have the Slipstreams. The 16x7 with the 45 offsets will work (13.5 lbs). That isn't the optimal rim size(s) or offset, but they will work. If you keep the stock 16" size tires, you'll be fine.

 

I've got black 17" subzeros on right now. 7.5" all around 48mm offset. I had to have the fronts machined to fit the hub because the bore was about 2mm too small. The good thing about that is they fit the hub without any rings now. I couldn't come up with any wheels I really liked at the time so I went the cheap route. I don't regret it, the wheels look nice, quality is good and you can't beat the price if that's your main objective.

 

Im actually looking into getting a set of flat gunmetal slipstream

Front - 17x8 +48offset
Rear - 17x8.5 +48offset

I think this setup should fit, but rear might stick out a bit

Rota = inexpensive, light, good looking (IMO)

 

Rice?? As opposed to what? Volk, Work, Mugen, etc...?? You don't have to spend $2,500 for a set of wheels for this car. It just doesn't make sense to me and none of the Volks are substantually lighter than stock, offering a performance gain, so I refuse to pay the Japanese tuner wheel premium for aesthetic purposes only. My OEM's do quite fine.

 

NiN, I'd worry about the fronts more than rear with your selection. I can see where the extra width can go in the back but the fronts may be pushing it. Definitely stay with a 205 front and stay a little shorter in overall height if you can. I have H&R sports (.75" drop) and the front have only rubbed when I was at an auto-x.

 

ya, I know, too bad they dont come in 17x7.5
