New S2K owner, couple questions
Hello all, i just bought a black 2005 S2000 Yesterday. I searched around the forums but can't find an answer to the questions i had (forum search functions can be picky, so maybe its there and the search just didn't pick up on it).
What are the Offsets for the stock rims?
will 9.5" rims fit in the rear without fender modification?
what kind of rim sizes/offsets and tire sizes are you all running?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm trying to decide if i want to go big and get some Volks (which don't have the look i want from the factory) or go with something like the Tenzo-R DC6 in either Black w/ polished lip or the time attack look. (too bad both of those styles becamse so trendy  ). I really like the DC-6 but they weight in at 22lbs for 18" versus the Volk TE37 which are like 17lbs for 18".
I also really like the Gram Lights 57S (i think that's the one) but they only seem to offer three colors. |

If you got a lot of $$$ have you looked at DYMAGs? They make a really slick wheel. Don't know how much they cost, but I would imagine a few Gs.

Slick, but not trying to go that crazy . Plus magnesium is supposed to be fairly brittle isn't it? |

I donno. I never looked into that. The carbon/magnesium wheels were the ones that cought my eye. I know a lot of race cars have mag wheels as well as some low volume supercar builders. I guess I'd be more afraid of the carbon rim cracking from a bad set of railroad tracks than messing up the metal parts.

I know what you mean. I took mine out of hybernation last week, and just put my summer rims and tires on yesterday. I drove it around just to drive it around with no intentional destination. First day with the top down too. MAN! that felt good!
