Well, I didn't buy some wheels that were on here a few weeks ago, since I was told you must lower with 18's, or it won't look right. I must say, those look great, even at stock height. I don't want to mess with my suspension.

How does this handle compared to stock?

The LM's are a benchmark wheel. They transform the way the S2000 looks and feels. The ride quality with the LM's is a big more rough because of the small sidewall and width of the tires. The handling characteristics are confidence inspiring because you have so much contact patch on the ground the car just feels planted. The draw back to this is that the car feels less spry. I switch between these and my OEM's for AutoX and I will get tail happy a few times on my way to the track because I'm used to pushing the LM's. Also these are heavier than the OEM's and the rotational mass is greater. The car is not as quick from a standstill but if you already have your momentum you shouldnt notice much difference at all.

The price of these wheels has gone up at TireRack about 3 times since I picked mine up last summer. $3000 is a steal for the quality and amazing look of these wheels I would make the purchase again without thinking twice.
