Default Work Emotion Kai

Ok, so I have the opportunity to go out and buy an S2000 at an auction for dirt ****ing cheap. I'm starting to get back over here and see what I could do to get some good power and nice wheels.

I know where to go for the power department, not going to ask, it's going to be forced induction for me. However, what is your guys' take on Work Emotion Kai's?
I really like the sizes on this one:

What's the opinion on daily driving these badboys? And what are those sizes up above? Thanks!

You'll have to roll the rears if you are dropped. And you can get away with a 225/45/17 tire in the front.

Here's how they fit without a roll and -1.5 camber in the front:

Thanks guys!


Had no idea that car reflected that thread lol.


How do you like daily driving something like that datboi? Is it a pain or is it worth it? Are your specs 17x9 +44 with 225/45/17 fronts and 255/40/17 rears simliar to that?

What would you opt for rear?

And what determines the concavity? Is it the offset?rim size?

Did you rub in the front with that setup? I've been wanting to go with a 17x9 in the front, but I've been hesitant cause I don't want to destroy the fenders.

Love em i have the 17x7.5 +47(F) and 17x9 +44 Rear, however the rear does rub at times when i go over a hump or dip at fast speeds, but then again my car is lowered, but setting the coils to a stiff setting kinda helps it a bit, i might be condser selling mine..give me a pm if your interested =)

Will do Type D, p/m at how much your looking for.


but I take it what determines the concavity is a high offset?
