Sorry... but i'm going to have to say you are all wrong!

Stick with the OEM 16"'s or 17"'s - and if you are going to go aftermarket these are the only choice...

Thats what i'd go for!

I used to have Stern magnesium 18's on my old S:

I agree. Often i think the after market alloys on the s2000 dont seem to work that well. Whether its down to the size or design im cant put my finger on it. Might be the offset looking at some of the above examples. Standard alloys seem to go so well when Honda changed to 17's.

Might be dont to ride heights as well. Some of the above pictures make the car look cheap if you ask me.

I like the idea of reducing the unsprung weight and a race look. just not sure on how to get there.

The rescent clip of the VERy low car on standard alloys looked gr8! if it was drivable it would be better though

From someone that has gone down the aftermarket and OEM route....

Stick with OEM!

I've just had another look at this:



And it looks class!

The most i would do is stick the later OEM 17's on....

Even at that, the 16's look good with the hardtop

Imagine if Honda had produced and 18" the same as the 16"?
I think they look pretty smart!
