Some of you may already know this. But if you go to www.discounttire.com and do a search they have 60+ wheels for the S2k and you can see what they look like on the S2k color of choice with the interactive feature.
I like these Konig Toxxin's

I don't know what they weight but they are $160 each.

Those TOXXIN wheels are light (appx. 18 lbs. for 18x7.5). I had Konig's on my last car and IMHO they are not the highest quality wheel. I would put them on a civic, but not a S2000.

They might be good for a set of snow tires, though...

funcar,

Keep in mind that you are looking for wheels that are wider in the back than in the front. At least an inch. I'm not sure all of the wheels at discount tire will have that correct setup.

To me the best thing about the discount tire site is you can see what an S2k would look like in green.
I liked it.
As far as the wheels go, I would have to make sure they would fit. But right now I am just shopping.

Did you check the OZ group buy post recently?
Giampiero gave me a December arrival date for the Superleggera. He is now working on getting that price down.

BTW, Will only be available in 17-inch, silver.

Konigs are the biggest knock-off low-end pic n' save wheels you can buy. Put that sh!t on your pinto, not on an S2000.
