S2000s are NOT to stand out or be unique.

I'm loving this one too

Wow, that was clever. But you forgot the Work Meisters that everyone puts on S2000's, too.

fuck.

I was thinking about getting the RS's on mine once I get it(silverstone 01), but this picture has me thinking differently. However, I would get the centers powder coated black so I think it would look much better than the silver but fuck, I just don't know now.

Yeah, paint the centers black so you can't see 'em. That will definitely help RS's look better on an S2000.


Leave RS's to VWs and E30s. They don't look right on S2000s.

haha, well I definitely like the LM's alot, I don't know of this "up garage" site though


i've been out of the whole car shit for about 3-4 years now, I don't even know any websites to look at wheels besides rbmotors and tirerack lol


What's a quick list of wheels that look good on the s2000's without breaking the bank but so much? I'm not really trying to spend more than 1600 on the wheels(without tires)

Advans or RPF1s.

If you go used, your options are much bigger. Those Regas would look good. The LMs would look good, but they don't look great on an S2000 unless they're 18". Pretty much any wheel with a stepped lip needs to be 18" to look ideal on an S2000. One piece wheels look too big if they're 18", especially if their spokes go all the way to the lips (like mine).

Oh yea, I'm definitely talking about going used so I can increase my options. I just really don't know too much about the "ballin" wheels but definitely would like to get a nice set. But I would like to get 17"


edit: I had actually really thought about the RPF-1's in black, great price on them new and they're lightweight, but as I kept looking through pictures of s2k's, I want some wheels with a nice lip

Up your budget to around $2000 and go RE30 shopping.
