What are these RG8's they are referring to? New BBS wheels?

I dont think the weight of the HRE's is what you need on an S2000.

my friends have HRE's and they hate them, the paint always flakes and they are heavy and they bend pretty easy, they are show rims.

Fikse is a great rim, but expensive!

The RG8s are sold by Evosport. I believe Shep designed them for the e46 M3. They are made by Champion (formerly SAC). The same company makes the Dinan wheels for the M3. They are NOT made out of magnesium, but are spread forged - very strong and lightweight.
