Default Why no love for the BBS RS wheels on a S2000? (PICS)

Hello S2ki. I after searching for wheels and looking through the "BBS on a S2000 thread" I forgot exactly what it was called, I realized that there wasn't that much love for the BBS RS wheels. I fell in love with these wheels even before I had the S2000 and the whole "BBS Thread" turned into a "BBS LM on a S2000" haha. I mean I have nothing against the BBS LM, they look great, but quite a few people have it.

I personally just ordered these:

They are on their way!

According to the size:
5Hx114.3 @ 17x8 et 45, 17x9 et 53

They should fit (Ok I did see the other "will these wheels fit?" thread) and wanted to also make sure these would. I'm pretty sure they will because of the higher offset and wider rear vs. front.

Here are a few pics just cuz I know you love pics. (Pics borrowed from s2ki thread)

I too feel it is too tight of a mesh/web for my taste.

Looks better on euro cars imho.

^^^ what he said.

Luv the retro look, but it's a little too busy for my taste with the S. The LMs are about as busy as the S can take IMO.

The whole trend with putting vintage looking wheels on a modern car just doesn't work for me. They just don't fit.

BBS wheels are very high quality but ofter there designs don't seem modern enough the new RI-D is pretty sweet though
