The wheels are HRE 542Rs. Thanks for the compliment, I'm still on the fence about keeping these wheels or not. They look great on a Porsche, but I'm not 100% convinced they work right on an S2000. I'll wait and see how it looks once the cars lowered on KWs, then decide if I want to keep them or not.
I had a set of Fikse FM-5s on my last car, an Audi. They came with the car. I had no idea they were as expensive as they are until I poked around on the net looking them up. Always thought a set of those would look money on an S2000, but my God they're expensive.

They do look like something I'd expect to see bolted onto a Porsche, that's true. But they're something different, they're not JDM, and people who know cars know HRE builds good stuff.

I was going to run the Fikse wheels but they couldn't do the offsets I wanted for my car. They make GREAT wheels.
What aspect of the offsets was a problem with the Fikses? I thought - might be wrong on this - that they were basically a build to order kind of thing, and you could get pretty much any dimensions you wanted. In fact, there's a picture of a S2000 on Fikse's web site. I think they look incredible on the car:
