Get these in 17" or 18" they are the same if not lighter than the OEM wheels at Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim local to Signal Hill. Ask for Rich I am sure he will give you a great deal like he gave me.

Hi wanabe, long time no see. Here's some, I have more if you want. Two of them were from the Irvine meet, so I know you've seen them. One of them was taken at Norm Reeves. Btw, Phantom is selling his set for $1600 in the GB forum, which is the same as mine except it's gunmetal. That color is very nice as well.

yup, they're SSF, but still pretty strong.

My wife saw those at the Irvine meet and veto'd the gunmetal. They have to be silver.

i really like the Advan rims. I think there was a pic of a s2k with a set on. It was the picture with a C West body kit and it was a white one. Cant remember the thread it was on but those rims were hella sweet. Just too bad bronze dont match too good with red. Im assuming thats your car color. Bronze does look real good with yellow.

Have you considered the 2 piece LM BBS forged wheels? They have the right offsets for the S2k (+48, +55). I personally think that any lower and the tyres just stick out too much with 7.5 8.5in wheels.

Apart from the Mugen MF10, are there any other wheels with offsets at least as positive as the LM?
