Nice! What size tires are those?
In theory are 205/55 R16 front / 225/50 R16 rear, but if you measure the real width of those tires are 225 front & 245 rear.
I'll switch them to Toyo R888 as soon as I'll kill those
Thanks for the info. I have the same width and offset wheels. Yours are only the second set I've seen, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
I haven't got around to swapping out the 245/50s cause I'm too afraid to damage the coating on the rim, lol. Maybe I'll just wait until they're bald and have them powder coated.

Consider that in Italy we are just two guys with those rims and probably in total there are 4-5 owners with 16" ORIGINAL Volk wheels on S2K (CE28N, TE37, GTU). Mine comes from Cyprus
Unfortunately here, on pre-restyling S2000 (99-03) it's not possible to legally install wheels different from 16". 17" are tolerated only from MY04 onwards. If the car is originally born with 16", it's very difficult to officially change measures, of course unless you pay! F*cking italian burocracy...
So you're running with my own same CE28N? Post a pic!
S02 are very good tyres!
