Sure if you're just interested in looks and don't mind gutting the performance of the car you've got a large selection to choose from.

This is the best S2000 wheel reference I'm aware of.
http://s2000.byteserve.com.au/wheeloptions/
I'm going with the VolkRacing CE28n. It's has the correct offset and is very, very light.
Tirerack has a new forged wheel coming out soon that is cheaper, somewhat heavier but worth a look. https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...&threadid=49312

Thanks Mikey,
If you look at this list however for 17's, very few fit the +55, +59. I'm leaning towards to the Work Meister SR2's. I know they are heavy. Anyone a website that sells them?

Ok guys..sorry to throw one in from left field but, how will an 18 inch combo hurt my ride as opposed with a 17 inch combo? How much push am I losing exactly? noticeable?

"The first thing that must be asked is HOW do you plan on driving the car? If it's mild A to B transportation, you will open yourself up to a hundred different choices as long as the offset is a minimum of about 40mm."
So as long as you have a 40mm offset then your tires will not rub against the fenders? Like I said, I went with the FAQ's because I wanted some kind of standard to go by. I would like to get some 18x8's and 18x9's with 225/40 front and 255/35 rear. My main concern was rubbing. If you have any answers I would greatly appreciate it.

If i had lots of money to blow on the S2000 i would get the mugen mf-10's. Alot of people think these rims are ugly but you can't go wrong with the offsets as they are perfect, plus my S2K is black and i think bronze rims with black lugs and center caps go with black the best. Although i do have to say that our stock rims that come with the S2K are great, i have no problem at all with them, pretty much just a simple 16" 5 spoke rim they look great imo, plus the fact that i love the SO-2's, & that if i went aftermarket i would have to sacrifice the SO-2's.
