I'm in the 17" no drop club. It looks worse in pics than it does in person. For me it's not a matter of rubbing or scrapping the front, it's more like scraping the entire underbody/oil pan/dif/etc. My driveway has these retarded speedbumps in it, a cracked the oil pan in my old Civic that was lowered on them. I'm not going to do that to the S2000.

If I do end up getting wheels they will probably be more aggressive then the stock wheels. I want a nice lip and am looking for them to be polished.( well that's what I am into this week at least) I figured if I am not slammed I really don't have to worry to much about offset but still may need some fender work.

The cars that are posted don't look bad at all without a drop but I don't think I would like it myself.

I have looked into getting the driveway re-done which would turn into close to $20,000 set of wheels. I cant put concrete out beyond the curb line either and I think that would look gangster anyway.

I have thought of boards but that is just ****ing silly to have to get in and out of the driveway every time.
