thx juan i know but unfortunatly here in Italy you can find superleggera's wheels on cars like :
fiat punto gt
volkswagen golf
i know are very good light ,nice design ,perfect et for S200 but i repeat maybe only in Itlay they are some like RICE
you also have to know the production of OZ superleggera 18 for S2000 ends this year it will be difficult to find if you bend one and with 18 size is more easy

That doesn't look like an S2000 probably an Integra? Are you guys sure that is 17"? I am guessing those aren't really the correct size for an s2000 and 16".
BTW, $3000 for a new set of MF10s is about right and actually a decent deal if you can get them. They are discontinued so new is pretty much impossible to find here at least.

there are from a EP civic ..the sizes are 17" x7.5 et 45 all around.. i'm sure that will fit on a s2000 cause another friend have the same measures on your ap (oz SL ) and only the rear wheels are a little to much out from the body...with 215 and 235/245 tires they are good.

If you paint them....then don't do bronze. The bronze powdercoat that Ray's Engineering uses for the MF10s is so hard to mix, I have yet to have a shop come close to match the original bronze.
The "shop" I'm using is owned by a very good friend of my father. He owns AmeriCoats (it's a powder coat manufacturing company). They've tried so many different mixes that come close, but then after baking, they end up being noticably off from the orignal "Mugen" bronze.
Anyway, if you're going to powdercoat them, whey not do something custom or something a bit different from the norm. I've always wanted to do a set of anodized red...unfortunately, anodizing could fade over time, and costs quite a bit to get a quality job done.
Other options are to get a set polished, or get them sandblasted and do the raw aluminum look (just make sure you get a nice satin clearcoat over the unfinished aluminum).
Good luck.

the same set of wheels come from our friend-shop of Hong kong..the wheels were bronze but after some track days have scratches and some little damages..the original owner here tryed to repaint in Mugen bronze and...
the wheels look like green and soooo bad.the second owner decided to repaint in white because he dont like the bad colour and the idea was to look like MF10L that are white.
now i know that make the original bronze are impossible..i suggest Stefano to repaint in silver..
