What wheels looks best on a black s2000?

Sell the DC5 caliper and you'll have a lot more options. No one here is going to be able to a really solid answer on what fits that caliper, especially with stock fenders unless you're able to get a template for that caliper to check fitment. If you want big brakes get a real big brake kit. If you want fancy looking brakes get some Spoon calipers. Those are common setups with easy answers.
17x9 +63 TSW Interlagos will clear a Stoptech kit with a small spacer upfront, but you might still get rubbing on stock fenders if you drive hard with properly sized tires (245 or 255). If the Brembo DC5 calipers fit similarly to the Stoptech kit these wheels could be a good choice. Cheap, light, and they look good.

^ that should fit easily. A lot of people including myself are running a x9 - x10in the front with +40 - 50 on 255 tires. Rolled fronts, maybe pulled, camber adjustments, height etc.
Overall this is a very subjective question. Black looks great on MOST wheels.
My personal picks for color on black is bright silvers, mag blue, and bronze. Most colors work with black.
Consider bbk fitment etc.

If you don't want to touch the fenders at all you need as close to OEM offsets as possible which is hard and made even harder with your brakes. I am going to ignore the brembo's because you are going to have to figure out clearance for those regardless of the wheel specs you choose. For the fronts you are going to want to be in the +50 range for an 8 inch wide wheel. If it is a 7 or 7.5 you can venture into the +45 or higher range and still be safe. I cannot stress enough this requires that the car isn't lowered to much. If you are hella slammed your OEM wheels could mess up your fenders. I have seen it multiple times on cars I have rolled the fenders on.
The rear is actually more forgiving. Again can't have the car super slammed unless you are running silly amounts of camber. Ideally your in the +50 or higher offset for a 9 inch wide wheel. If you go wider like a 9.5 or 10 the offset has to be higher.
That all being said there is a fairly limited range of wheels to choose from. A 1300-1400 budget your probably looking at enkei Pf01s in specs mentioned above. Wedsport TC105x in the 17x8 +49 and 17x9 +49 should fit but watch the fronts closely for signs of rubbing. I have seen sets of CE28's in s2000 specs for around the $1700 range and those would work fine. I am unsure of the fitment for the brakes with any of these so thats a rabbit hole you are going to have to go down on your own. Neither of the work models you list come in good sizes to not touch the fenders while still being a good combo of widths for the S2000.
At the end of the day I would just roll the fenders thus having a lot more choices for wheels. If you roll the fenders you have a lot more room to play with. Easily pushing offsets to +40 or higher all the way around (within reason a +40 11inch wide wheel still won't fit well). This would likely make fitting the brakes easier as well.
