Rim Suggestions

[ooz200]

Hey Guys (and Girls) im thinking about getting a new set of rims for my S2k. I just want to see if anyone has any suggestions ????? To be honest Id love a set that look like the new Ferrari 458 Italia if there are any aftermarket "knock off" versions available ???? Even ones that are really similar... ???

you'll need big rotors to make those large spaces between the spokes work. that and a prancing horse logo..

Try talking to those places that specialise in Ferrari replica kit cars or people in to kit cars. They may have some kind of idea.
I personally don't think many people would recognise them as ferrari wheels with a honda logo in the center and they would give the car a clean look.

they remind me of dc5s rims lol

wow they really do +1 for that spot

[ooz200]

Ok, just found this and think it looks unreal. Anyone know what brand and size they would be ????

Im prob be gettin a bit niggly here but my s2k's the gunmetal grey and im just not sure the two silvers work. I think the Yellow looks sick but im not sure if its because the silver is the right one for that colour. That, and its in great nik.

Any clues on the wheel make and size ????

[curtis265]

Yeah search for DC5S rims. I always thought they resembled ferrari designs. Simple 5 spoke ftw. I've got them on now :D

[ooz200]

Ok, I think iv narrowed it down to two styles. CSA dominators and Lenso muse - both in 19" I know they are an older wheel but they just give that clean, sharp look and they dont look so complicated on s2k's. Some go over the top with the blingy rims and it looks a bit tacky.... What do you all reakon about the ones im lookin at ?????

[curtis265]

eeew... 19's?? What sort of budget do u have?

[AusS2000]

The yellow above is Strawberi's old car innit?

[ludecrs]

Correct.

[ooz200]

Well both being older style rims and not really in huge demand anymore, prob 1000- 1500. Realistic ????

[AusS2000]

Might want to factor in tyre cost too.

Not much point in buying blinging 19 inch wheels if you're going to to wrap them in cheap rubber. They won't look so blinging wrapped around a telegraph pole.

And yet so many 20-sumfings seem to find them.

i have a set of gold BBS LMS if u want to buy. 17x8 40 17x9 42 :D

[dlai5552]

BBS Lm's aren't good unless you get offset in the 30's so it has that extra step in the lip :P

BUT mate, try JDM wheels imports or LSD motorsports, right now the AU dollar is strong and you can't go wrong with prices from LSD.
I'm actually ordering a set too lol
AND stick with maximum 18" wheels, 19" is kinda too big for an s2k

Rim size is not really the problem. Its more the width of the rim, the offset and the tyre. I know people run 19s with a appropriate offset and have less scrubbing then people running 17s with ridiculous offset.
