Default Snow tires/wheels?

I've been thinking of picking up a pair of some wheels like off an accord, doesn't really matter what, just something cheap and put some snow tires to have them for the winter. Anyone have any suggestions which wheels will fit on the s2000?

thanks

Someone around here has got to have some AP1 wheels to sell! They're pretty cheap and get some dunlop wintersport M3s. Youl be fine in less than 3", more than that stay home! Or take the train! It aint the tires, its the clearance! Personal experience! the M3s are great!

accord wheels won't fit.

you can get a set of AP1 wheels for $3-500.

Yeah, AP1 wheels with Dunlop Winter Sport M3s, a great combination. This will be my third year with them.

Don't go with Accord wheels... size won't match up.

Like people have said.. pick up a set of used Ap1s, and slap some winter tires on them. Safest way to go.

Yes, have a look around and maybe someone can hook you up with some Blizzaks and AP1 wheels for a good price, like I got

The Bliazzaks were incredible last winter. Can't say enough good things. For the positive reviews the M3s have gotten, I have to imagine they're a solid option as well though I don't know first hand.
