I was gonna go silver but then Oakos had 10 of these gray sets coming in so I got one of dem. Looks pretty similar to SBC in person when clean.

In flickr, when you click "share" there should be an option for a direct link to the image, or a url you can use for forums. That should work, I'm assuming.. I haven't used Flickr in ages.

That last shot is I don't care how overplayed RFP1's are.. they are still the sexiest wheels on an S2000.

You track yours with the center caps in though?

Thanks man! Same here, they make too much sense to rag on and on about. Affordable, beautiful, light and strong. No arguments here.

I did track them with the center caps. I bolstered them up with electrical tape and they have yet to fall off

I have an AP1 that is currently on stock ride height. I will probably lower 1 inch sometime in the near future. I want to get RPF1's. I can't find a clear answer for my question (or maybe I just haven't looked hard enough?). I am okay with fender rolling and adding a little camber. I do not want super cambered wheels that are coming out of the arches but I want a more flush look, flat look. Should I just use the tire rack recommend sizes? Should I do 17x7.5 or 17x8 front? Should I do 17x8 or 17x9 rear? Then what tire size do I use? I don't like the stretched tire look at all. I feel like I am drowning in information that is all correct in its own way depending on what you want your car to look like and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

Reading some older post in here I found someone doing 17x8 +45 with 225/45 and 17x9 +45 245/40 in the rear. What kind of modifications would I be looking at to make this fit? And would this make the tire look stretched?
