i must be wierd, because I'm actually not a fan of the RE30's

 

unless you go low offset, 17" with a big steplip and a 40 series tire, and you go mad low. thats how i would do an s2000

if you go LM's, you must go championship editions. they are ohhh so purrttty !

 

Flite, what do you think about these? http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=694565

I'm not really a fan of 18's on a S2000, but...

 

I'm not Flite, but here's my take:

If you're going to get wheels that look sort of like LMs, you might as well get the LMs.



But you already knew that would be my take.

 

Two things:

1) I know I'm almost completely alone with this opinion, but VSXXs are one of my least favorite common wheels for an S2000. To me, that's the most generic looking wheel Work makes. It looks like a bad knockoff of some other wheel or like a wheel that was designed in 1985 (Could be for all I know). They're too feminine looking. I think it has something to do with a mesh design without a stepped lip. It just looks... dainty. That's personal preference though, some people drool over VSXXs.

2) That's really bad sizing. My guess would be that someone bought those to clear some sort of gargantuan big brake kit. Even though the fronts are more narrow, they're lower offset than the rears so you'll end up with front wheels that poke more than rears (A no-no for me), and the same lip/face front and rear. If those were sized 18x9 +40 and 18x8+40, they'd work better.

 

I like LM's better than the Works, but the Works are for sale used, and in really good shape. All the LM's I find are not in the greatest shape, and most places are asking about $120 each wheel to polish the lips, redo the centers, and straighten any bends. I'd rather find a nice set, and powder coat the centers to whatever color I want, since I have a pretty good hook up on getting stuff coated.

 

That's why I came in here asking opinions. I'm not the best with the offset numbers and such. Shit gives me a headache trying to figure out.

 

It's amazing to me how similar they are to LMs, but how much better LMs look.

 

I can get you some LMs if you want LMs.






There's a set of 18s up there too:



18X8/9 +35/+40
~1475 shipped



I personally think Minervas would look amazing on a S2000 (granted I'm thinking of ones with bigger lips):



Those need to be refinished, but they're fucking STUPID cheap.

18X8/9 +49
~655 shipped


A more expensive set of LMs:



18X8/9 +40
~2025 shipped


Let me know if you are interested in any of the wheels I'm posting.

 

These would go SO HARD on a red car
