Default JDM Midnight Purple S2000

Hi,
New to the forum and S2K.
Name is Ryan. I have owned Hondas Mostly EGs and DC2s. Always wanted to buy a rear wheel drive car, I had a look at quite few like Boxster S, 350Z and RX8 but ended up decided buying this midnight purple baby lol.
Its a JDM model with 34k Miles. Relatively low mileage with aftermarket exhaust system and aem induction kit. Engine is in beautiful conditon. No smoke whatsoever gear changes were smooth as and soft as spaghetti lol.
I will be changing few thing on it like Suspension, Bushes, probably buy the Spoon coupe roof, a nice spoiler and some nice 18" wheels.
Anyway where are some of the pictures.

If the OP wants to get the best driving experience out of the S, then 16s or 17s are the best...

...if he just wants to look at it, then 18s might be suitable

Yup, and seeing he comes from civics and integras I'm pretty sure he worked that out himself already

Get some lightweight 18s and it will handle better than the oem 16s with its balloony tyres.

very nice car ,

18's will look great, mine sits on 18's

I would personally remove the shopping lift on the drivers door and the wing badges,
clear or smoked side repeaters would look good too.
