If you gut the softtop you'll get at least 20 of the remaining lbs when adding the HT.

Yeah the 17x7.5 is only 13.8lbs, and the 17x9 14.8lbs. Pretty impressed with the Weds only being 15.7lbs too actually.

Thanks! I am absolutely loving how the car looks now. These wheels are definitely here to stay even after the CEs arrive. It's definitely fun to have options.

That is very good news! That and a header should get me there.

Call me crazy, but I prefer the CEs and OEM brakes to the Weds and the Spoons.

The car looks good either way, but damn I love CEs on an S2000.

I know how it goes. I don't like the concave look on the S2000 that so many others love.

I love CEs and never had plans for Weds until I saw this color, but I love these things now. Glad I gave them a try. The bronze is definitely something special though. That's why I have those lugs! The presence of the car with more aggressive square setup really steps it up for me. It's more aggressive without looking roided up. Can't wait to see the other CEs on here.

The OEM brakes have no redeeming factors for me. My calipers always were thrashed.

I agree on the concave CEs. I really only like the Type 1 and Type 2 faces on the S2000. Past that it just gets way to extreme for it to look natural.

CEs in the Weds color or Diamond Black would be perfect. gold or bronze on silver are an acquired taste. still looks nice though. naturally, most would prefer the CEs over the Weds for several reasons. the biggest thing to me is that the thicker spokes make the CEs look more aggressive, but can't beat the Weds' price and bang for the buck. i'm trying to find a set of 17s for a spare set of wheels too. 17x9, +49 looks like it was made for the s2k.

The main reason I like the Weds is they really have that motorsports GT3 car sort of look to them. Same reason I really like the new NSX production wheels.
