Default Any affordable wheels??

Are there any affordable wheels for the S2000? It seems like every 18in wheel I look at is $400 and up. Anybody have a suggestion for me? I really don't want to spend more than $300 per wheel.
Thanx,
Alex

Go to http://www.victoriatire.com and look for wheels by car and you can get wheels that'll fit fine on the S2000 that are cheaper. Their 18's don't fit as well because of the offset, but the 17's fit fine and the wheels are as cheap as $100/wheel.

Check out Tires.com. I bought some incredible 18's for about $200 a wheel and am very satisfied!

What is wrong with the OEMs??? Plus, you save yourself all that money.

I keep bouncing around on the same issue as well. Part of me wants the new look and possible added traction of some aftermarket wheels, but then I have a problem convincing myself that it's worth dropping even $1k on new wheels.

Right now the solution that I'm leaning toward is painting my stock wheels to get a different look without spending a fortune.

i am dealing with the same dilema. Dont forget that if you get bigger rims that you should also lower the car if you havent already. I think it looks really tacky when people dont lower their car with bigger wheels. Its at least going to cost you another 200-250 for springs and another 150 for install if you cant do it yourself. Thats the cheapo route to if you want to do it so everything is really nice you are looking at at least 1k for full coilovers + install. good luck to you.

I have 1 set of the Mille Miglia Evo 5 that looks great on the car at 189.00 front and 159.00 rear. They are not the lightest wheels but they do look very nice on the car.
Let me know if I can help.
Thank you
