I've narrowed down my search for wheels for the s, however, I can't decide which one I like more... also, I'm torn between either 17" or 18" and have no clue what offset I
need to be looking for. Any information/opinion would be appreciated


My Car:


Wheel choice #1 Rota D2 in gold


Wheel choice #2 Rota P45 black/red


By the way, future exterior mods would be a mild tint, maybe exhaust and lip

 

what are you looking to spend on wheels?
what kind of ride height are you going to be looking at?
do you have issues with rolling your fenders?
do you want an aggressive offset look?

 

I would vote for #2. Normally I'm not a fan of black wheels, but I think white with gold wheels and red interior would look pimptastic.

 

LOL! Yea it would. My vote is for #2, but you should do what ever you like, after all why would you do what we like over what you like?

 

If you want to see how they would look "18 or 17 inch" go to cardomain.com and view other S2000s.

 

false. go to the gallery here, on s2ki.
you'll find a lot more quality cars here, or at least that's what I've typically taken note of.

 

the reason i ask is because i really am 50/50 on the wheels... i can see buying either set so i thought i would infer some other people's opinions to help me decide.. price isn't REALLY an issue as the wheels will probably end up between 100-200 dollars deviation between 17"-18" (btw the reason why i'm sticking with rota and not the real deal is that i KNOW i'll end up curbing them at somepoint and it's really going to piss me off if it's on an expensive set) ... The stance is going to be stock height for right now... and to tell you the truth it will probably be extremely close to stock even if i upgrade suspension... i already come too close pulling into my driveway and this is my dd. Fender rolling shouldn't be an issue because of this.

As far as offset, i wouldn't mind a more aggressive offset than stock, but not too much more... again this is going to be stock ride height and too aggressive looks stupid on stock suspension in my opinion.

on a quick note, does anybody notice any difference in the quality of their ride by switching to 18"?

 

rolling inertia! is my biggest problem. braking is adjusted with my wheels because of weight. i would definitely not ever buy wheels that weigh more than the stock. it looks good and all. for the most part the ride is beautiful. i don't drive this one like i did my first s2000 w/stock wheels. now that i am older and i rarely drive the thing anyway.

 

Personally I'd go with the rots d2 I say this cause those are the exact same wheels I'm gettin once I paint my car championship white

 

option 2 will match your ride better in my opinion. the red rim will match your interior. =]
