Hmm... not so sure. Especially not feelin' the polished lips.

IMO you're going about this the wrong way.
The hype of a wheel is not a derivative of its price... The cost is a derivative of their hype. In other words, wheels are expensive because they are popular, not popular because they are expensive. No one has ever made the suggestion that wheels are cooler when they cost more, or that to be "legit" you have to have expensive wheels.
You can buy wheels all day long that are "baller" and are still very cheap. Some quality manual labor and you can have a very nice set of wheels for next to nothing.
I'm always down for people doing new things, but I think there comes a point where you're just making excuses. I don't want to put you down, but the new wheels just look cheap man. The Lexus wheels, even though I wouldn't say are great either, are far far classier.
I'm just sad to see you down grade. You had a serious setup going on before. I can understand needing money, but there's no need to whip out the autozone special.
I hope we see a killer comeback soon. Hell, maybe you'll pull off these wheels and shock us all- I don't doubt you. Do what you want, it's your car. We're here to support that.
But my $0.02- serious downgrade. quite disappointing to say the least. It puts the car on a level similar to every city's "local" crowd. I'm sure you know what i mean.Last edited by M.Burroughs; 05-05-2010, 12:24 AM.

Ahhh man so sad to see the Works gone but whatever dude you needed money. Cheap wheels dont mean crappy specs though. Grab some sportmaxes or rotas or something(sorry Mike lol). I think they have those xxr521s in 18x10 +25 for like $125 each or something like that.. I dont mind cheap wheels as long as the fitments dope.

Idk if the look would work out, but a little more stretch (with more inflation) and it probably would look good.
But "smaller wheel with meaty tires" is an old school look, so it probably won't flow with the look of the s2000.

You're welcome to try on my extra set of 2 piece volks? They 17x8 +35
I'm guessing ride is smoother with more chubby tire.
You'd get this same fitment if you use the spacer on rears too.
I'd cut you better deal than what I'm selling on H-I mane. $420 for you. That's more than a bill off what I'm askin from others
