Default Panasport Wheels

Anybody know if Panasports, or a good quality Panasport replica ever came in the S2000 factory 17" x 7.0", +55 offset, 17" x 8.5", +65 offset size?

Any ideas as to what's the closest looking wheel to the Panasports that comes in S2000 size?

They do come in 16s, maybe I could drop down to a 16" x 7.0" and 16" x 8.5", and go with a taller tire?

I know you didn't ask for opinions but this is a public forum so im going to give one anyway. Those were very popular aftermarket Datsun/240Z wheels. They are very dated looking for anything beyond the 60-70's and am afraid they are going to look very strange on an S2000. The S just has too modern/sharp a look. Find an old Datsun or British car to put them on where they will be at home. Nice looking wheel for what they are otherwise.

I had them on my 260Z, and I've always like their look on Miatas, and new Minis have a very similar wheel. They do look very similar to my current factory AP2-V2 wheels, but I like the classy look of the Panasports better.

I also HUGELY like the look of the Rota Retro2 wheels on the Toyota GT86, that's a modern car with retro wheels, what can I say, I like 70's things, but also like modern reliability.

I think the Rota Retro2s would look great on the S2000.

You might wanna give Minilite a call...but from the looks of them and the Enkei Compe's...16" is about as big as it gets

Minilite Wheels USA Distribution

As far as the Rota RKR's are concerned, you're gonna get a +20 at the most, which aint gonna work on our cars!
