That's the problem, most companies make offsets for the civic, sentra, dsm crowd. Also the american cars. They don't bother with the low production cars, and when they do its generaly expensive because they know it won't sell in the same numbers.
It sucks, but we're stuck. You ever consider powder coating your rims the color you want? I rather like the 2004 rims myself, its much cheaper to have them powder coated the color you want. And the rims are much better quality the cheap brand X.
I have considered powdercoating my wheels actually... it was my original plan. But I really like the way this car looks with a bit of a lip, which is something that the AP2 wheels are lacking. If I can't find something I want, and decide not to just go with Work or Volks like everyone else, then powdercoating is still an option.
Emil- you're right, Work and Volk rims are "run of the mill" on THIS car... but my point is still that they're quite a bit more expensive than most of the wheels out there. Of the semi-mass produced wheels, they're definitely near the top as far as quality and price.
maybe you could look into some enkei's..
enkei's are nice rims.... esp there racing series. they are very strong. and pretty lightweight. lots of track cars use them, and they most deff wont break your bank. my RS+M's (sig) are only like 250-300ish? a rim.... so those + some nice tires (kumho mx) and you're looking at a very nice, lightweight, and great performing setup for under 2000$.... just a thought and most of the rims do fit the s2k, they are just special order sizes... so you "may" have to wait a month or two, but not all the time.
To me atleast, it seems like you can't even find anything besides the "high end" wheels that fits properly for the s2k, you are kind of stuck. I'm probably going to go volks eventually...they might be played out on the board but are still rare around here.

First off who said I- forged and HRE were ultra high end? They buy product from other people and assemble them. Thant doesn't sound like high end to me. I
custom size/offsets/finishes sounds a bit more high-end then anything tirerack offers imo.
You can't beat the quality of HRE's!! I have had 3 sets and I find that it is hard to compare other wheels to them. They make the car. Plus you can't beat their custom fitments...
The SSR GT7 would be a very nice forged wheel that looks great on the car. All of the wheels on our web site do fit the car depending on the size of the tire you use. We do have more options on wheels but unfortunately SSR is slow right now on delivering wheels. We have about 7 wheels in the 18" alone.
If I can help let me know.
