These should be high quality wheels considering they are forged aluminum. So far I've only read of one person here that uses them for the track. Why not order it since it is rare (nobody likes the simple 5-spoke design these days, but I certainly do! )

Some pictures of other member's wheels:

thanks for your response and for posting the pics. I think i will go ahead and get these. I havent seen many people running on these.....not that that really matters when youre trying to find a quality rim anyway, but hey, the more exclusive the better, right?

once I get them i'll post some pics with 'em on.....especially since i havent seen another berlina with these rims on any post yet...

Sounds great. Oh and btw, go with the 225/255 tire sizes setup. Even when lowered, I doubt you'll have rubbing issues since those wheels have the exact same size and offsets as the ap2 wheels.

Thanks again for the tips fellas. I dont have mine lowered, but I think I will still run with those sizes (225/255). Ive been running on those currently with the stock AP2 wheels and setup without any difficulty.

On an unrelated note, I just started tracking the car in San Marcos. Ive owned this car for 4 years, and I can honestly say, if you havent driven this car on the track, you havent truly experienced all of the fun of the s2k!!!! This car is AWESOME and comes alive on a road course!! And im not any good at it yet!! I highly recommend it!

Oh yeah, and one of the best drivers on the course is a dude with a s2k CR.....and he's posting better times than several high end exotics.....its all about the driver and less about the car....

I'm glad I stumbled onto this thread because I have been wanting to see more pics of these wheels on a real car, because it's hard to tell if they look good from Tire Rack's mock-up.

The wheels are forged one piece made by Enkei for the S2K. They keep the car in stock class with the same width and offset as the AP2 wheels.They reduce the unsprung weight over the OE wheels.
If I can help let me know.
