That looks awesome!! Matches the Silverstone perfectly and I also like the window tint....I take it you only tinted the front windows and not the rear plastic right? Im assuming you cant tint the rear window. Am I right??

Peace

Cool, now you just need to lower that thing Are the rear center caps missing? Do the axles stick out too much?

Ok Heres the story.....

After talking myself into buying a set of wheels, I decided I wanted color matched wheels in 18x8 and 18x10. As we all know, the choices are very limited. So in October I placed my order, followed by a call in November stating the wheels were made with the wrong bolt pattern and they would have to be remade. Well after 10 weeks they arrived.........with a minor problem, the rear centercap doesnot fit. so I am impatiently awating the arrival of some custom centercaps to hopefully fix the problem.

Ok, next problem.... with the new setup, under accelateration the car pulls left and conversly, when I lift, it pulls right. I check the tire preassure and one side has 57 front 41 rear and the other side was 47 and 34. after adjustring the preassure the problem is gone.

3rd and final problem, the lug opening is so small that my thinest wall socket scratched the wheel. Fortunatly I noticed it after the first twist and wrapped it with tape and managed no further scratches..

That is one sweet looking wheels.
Bling, Bling galore!

Looks incredible on Silverstone. Congratulation on making the right choice.

Now if you can lower just a bit all around, you would have one bad ass S2K that make bystanders drool with envy.

I now firmly believe that with clean stock body with good wheels and properly lowered can really make the car so unique and amazing without any body kit crap.

Great choice, your car looks awesome!!
Thanks for sharing the awesome photos.
I am very jealous with envy!

tugz -- my back window is tinted. I had it done locally when I purchased the car 18 mos ago, however to help reduce scratches to the plastic, I bought some static tint from Kmart and put another layer on the outside. The rear window is very dark.

I was going to say the same thing. I checked Snap-On and they have some thin wall sockets available. I don't know what size the S2000 uses, so check out this page.
