i pretty sure that these wheels are cast....not forged... and as for the weight not sure of that neither but i think they are close to the oem wheels weights!

I'am just thinking to myself that for 120 a wheel i can't go wrong...(or could I)

i'am confused

Why dont you drop by their shop and check them out in person if you are so undecided. Thats what I'll eventually have to do because I am very picky about wheels.

I still say powdercoat stocks.. if your not saving weight... nor width.. nor getting a better offset.. nor do they look that much better than stocks.. just my .02... Then again I have powder coated stocks and Volks but I'm selling my car with the stocks....

No. Those will rub in the rear and rub more in the front. An S2000 with those offsets will chirp and squeak with every bump in the road. Bad bad bad bad idea. Bad.

Jakub; I like the way the rims look but there are a few issues you need to remember when dealing with aftermarket wheels on all Hondas

1)proper offsets
2)are the wheels hubcentric
3)weight..especially on the S2000,because if they weight more than stock oem they "take away" rear wheel horsepower
4)width our S2000's handling seems best when the rear rims are slightly wider than the fronts

What ever you decide on I hope to see them at WTD 05
