Anterra Type 309 Cast 18x8 25.3
Honda S2000 Cast 16x6.5 17.5
Honda S2000 Cast 16x7.5 18.6
that last # is in lbs. that's a pretty significant increase, but hey it all comes down to what makes you smile when you look at your car. for me, as good as they look, I'm heading the other direction in unsprung weight, i.e.-- SSR Comps, unless I find some wheels that are lighter than the SSRs and also as strong and good looking...

It's not too bad of a weight increase from stock (looking at just the wheels and not the tire weight because I don't have the tire weight). About 70-lbs worth (unsprung weight x 2.5). 70-lbs in the 1/4 mile is roughly .147 seconds all other factors equal (which rarely happens anyway). 
However, the difference between these wheels and a set of racing wheels (11.5-13.5-lb range) is around 120-lbs which is .3 in the 1/4 (worth of difference).
What does all this mean other than I should get out of house? Not a damn thing if you like the look, which is sharp with the silver exterior.
Enjoy the car. Good choice.

Those rims definitely 100% don't belong on an S2000, but if you like em, enjoy them.
I could see those being on an E46 or a Jaguar XJR, or something big heavy and european.....but definitely not a lil' japanese roadster.
