The wheels were no problem installing them... The mission was the waiting period on them... I waited 2 months for them, i called HRE told them i wanted the widest offset that they offer for the S2000 and that i wanted them power-coated in Suzuka blue...The car is lowered by H&r springs, and fenders Rolled {back ones only} the rolling of the fenders cost me $40 For both... the car does not rub at all...I'm super happy with the look and the ride.

And that is the purpose of this tread. I love the looks of many wheels, but the car performs so well that I don't want to mess up a perfectly good thing. Again just my opinion.
Oh and the HRE's/Kinesis are fairly light for their huge width's. In fact my front wheels weigh almost exactly the same as the stock wheels. I do notice a little bit of a difference in acceleration.
Also there are several people who track their car with this type of setup... kinesis/HRE's in these width's... if you do a search... one person was running lap times a bit faster than some of the guys with stock wheels (i know.. driver matters) but its not like the wheels are just making you extremely slow..
