if you want my opinion on how to make your car look "classy" looking at your car I would say lose the front splitter, get some high spoke rims like you pictured in your second image but in a brushed aluminum finish, and leave your black tape on. That will give you a stand out look that isn't over the top and will make your car look "classy" 
. That being said I think your car looks awesome the way it is now and those other rims would look good (I too find rpf1's too mainstream 
), that's my $.02 so take it or leave it 
Also, either way you go, can't go wrong with a cr lip

Worst color S2k. Says any S2k on Volks looks horrible. Wants to RHD and LS swap his S2k. Doesn't think turbo S2ks can be reliable. Your car will never look classy. Good luck with the IA love. I'll stick with my wanna be racecar S2k on Volks with a reliable turbo setup and a big wing. I'll try not to park next to you at IA.

As far as "love at IA" I mean, what's the purpose if you dont have something people will take pics of? I still do what pleases me; you dont see stretched tires and camber or a big wing? Thats the recipe for "IA love" but I mean something that can be appreciated if I spend my time/money/effort going to said show. Theres dudes that drive hours (my trip to KY IA is 30 mintes) in Civics that look like shit worse than my beater. I wouldnt bother if I were those guys.
As far as RHD, why not...I did RHD to the Prelude above, because you dont see those all the time...same with S2K, also, a way to stand out amongst all the kitted big wing overfender wannabe race cars in the S2K world, and keep a stock body.
LS swap. Because I want power in my S2K, and I want REAL power, WITHOUT a turbo. I feel at 450-500 WHP with an LS, I will be able to trust that thing as much as I can trust it with my bolt-on F20. To reach those numbers on the F20 I will need boost, and it will also make the not reliable as well. I do not trust turbo cars especially ones that are converted to turbo. And I also have an Evo X which I'm shooting for 550WHP, I wouldnt want two 2.0 liter turbo 4 untrustworthy cars with the same characteristics. LS is a different means to that end, and as a side note it will sound absolutely sick, which a turbo 4 does not due to being muffled by the turbo system.

Show me an S2K with stock body no crazy camber without stretched baby tires properly fitting Volks WITHOUT flat faces. Or Meisters without convex faces. Just because the wheel is a Volk does not automatically make it LOOK good. I'm not spending Volk/Work/Advan money on Volks that will have a weaker face than my Prelude's CE28's. And As you see with that, I go for normal fitment, not all these tricks to make something fit.
These are what fit S2000 and they do nothing for me. At least with either set of wheels I have, my rears are deeper than fronts.
And you do you, and I'll do me. If your shit is a racecar thats whatever. My shit is to cruise. I dont want it to look like a tuner rice car. I have a tuner rice car with a turbo and a big wing. So if you wanna stay mad thats on you. Just a car brosef...LOL

Says SB worst color S2K and has a yellow pearl one. That's rich. Looks like vomit IRL.

Go ahead and paint those AP2v4s Suzuka Blue, don't look like a tuner rice car, and go get your IA love.

I dont need to paint the "AP2V4" as I already have the blue/copper wheels pictured, which may be yet refinished. Secondly calling them "AP2V4" is hardly an insult when I want out of them because I said they are played out AF.
And no I dont like your CE28 faces for an S2K. They are not even as aggressive faces as that Prelude setup. If I buy another set of CE28's they are having this face:
But that's a different matter, because I have all those concave/deep face choices for the other car.
It's really hard to buy wheels for this car when you dont want overfenders. Believe me, CE28's are my fave of all, and I love chrome/polish, a guy was selling S2K spec CE's mirror polished, for only $1500, but S2K faces, you know how hard that is to turn down? I simply do not want a RWD car without a deep face or lip, or concavity in the rear. Fronts would be fine with the weaker face (like my front AP2V4 bubble face) as long as rear is deep.

Firstly, I always call them AP2v4s. Secondly, is it too late to tell you that you bought the wrong car and to sell it and buy a Nissan 350Z so you can get all the lip and concave you could ever ask for? Go ahead and paint those amazing PIAA rims Suzuka and try for some IA love. You are a huge contradiction. You talk about classy and not wanting to look ricer yet all you want is to throw a shit load of lip and concave at a car that comes with high offset wheels and small fenders.

If you want to cruise than consider a square setup of Volk CE28N in 17x10 +45. You will however have to roll and pull the shit out of your front fenders to get this to work however without rubber bands as tires. -3 camber is also required.
17x9.5 +47/50 to me looks incredible. Concave is fine and all but it wont work unless you plan on doing over fenders or raping your OEM fenders.
