Love these new wheels. I just wish manufacturers would produce 17's. Maybe they will down the road.

Those look really close to BBS wheels... and for probably 1/3 of the price.

Could make it work +45s 8" up front and +50 8.5" in the rear, or non-staggered.

i like them a lot too. reminds me of those VMR wheels that wheelflip redrilled for our applications.
i think wheels in this design only look good in 18 and bigger...
just like ce28s and te37s look too big in 18s but BBS LM's look too small in 17s

VMR just announced 5x114 fitments in one of their styles. Once an S2000 fitment comes out, I'll get you guys all the info!

If anyone needs info on the Enkeis, let me know.

just found these! Nice! Tire Rack says the 18x8.5 +50s are 20.6lbs. IMO, that's a good weight for an 18 and spot on for a wheel this price ($233/ea). Just a little more money than the 17x9 TSW Nurburgring.

There's a chance that these would fit without rolling the rear fenders if you run 245s. I'll be considering these in the future after I burn through my current DD street tires.

^That size sounds pretty good. Anybody know how the face looks at 8.5 +50? Is it still concave?
