Is it me or are the spokes blue (damn cheap laptop screens)?? At least they didn't make the stock brakes look too small...not that a big brake kit wouldn't look real nice under those....hehe

hope you got the 18 instead of 19, cuz in this case, bigger = heavier..!!

The wheels are HRE 549 series 3-piece... And yes the Middle of the wheels is powdercoated in Suzuka Blue... The wheels are 19 inches with the with of the front 8.5 {234/35/19} and the rear 10.5 {275/30/19} the car is lowered by H&R springs, and the back fenders are rolled...The car does not RUB, and the handle is incredible...

nice 80's look, I'm diggin it. actually I guess it would be 70's, I remember the top-of-the-line 1978 Trans-am was available in a nice baby blue color, with matching baby blue rims. pretty cool.

ok you know what, I think i figured out what the problem is...... in this pic:



the wheels are so big that it looks like it has whitewall tires from some angles, like the one above. This makes it look like the top is one of those "tonneau" type that you see like, on Buick Lesabres or Chrysler luxury vehicles, or Cadillac Devilles. That's what's wrong here. 18"s is the max for the S2000, anything after that is overkill. These wheels would have looked great on some kind of luxury car, maybe an Audi or BMW, (but not powdercoated to match the bodycolor - it would have to be all chrome or polished) - for an S2000? I don't think it works. Look at GeminiS2's car, he knows what's goin on.

different taste for different people - you guys are too harsh!

its a great concept. although I think the 19"s are a bit big, but they seem to work well for you.
