ive been using 17's for a while now, and think theyre just too small.
u'd need at least 18's for the looks (for street)
17's definately handle alot better over the 18's or 19's lol
if your staying conservative and tight then go 17's still look alrite depending on the wheels. but if your going with the ce28's then i think u should go with the 18's at least because the ce28's just look smaller than they really are. 17's just look like 16's. so u need at least 18's or 19's ahahhae (my opinion:))
The reason "everyone" goes with these options, is because anything else upsets the natural balance of the car. Also big heavy rims doesnt exactly help performance. Personally everytiime i see an S2k with oversize heavy rims i would really like to slap the driver across head, BUT seeing as though im not an officer of the S2k wheel police, i figure, their car, their choice.Quote:

I realise that that not everyone out there with an S2k, is after the ultimate street/track machine, i dont understand it :confused: , but i realise it. ;) IMO I dont see the need for Luxury wheels on a sports car, but thats me.
End of the day it is URE choice, its what u want, not me or anyone on ozhonda. If u want habib and his mates to look twice, go chrome, :p if u want to enhance an already great performance car, then do what "everyone" else does and buy some 4kg wheels. Goodluck whatever ure choice :thumbsup:
i get what you saying buddy ...
to answer your question as to why other s2k owners will go put heavy wheels on their cars is cause not every s2k owner wants there car to be a track car...
to be honest the s2k handles more well then anything ive ever driven but its also got the looks as well meaning that some people will either go one way or the other in terms of choosing between making their s2k a track looking or cruising type car....
reason i ask for opinion is because i want to know what other s2k owners think looks nice ...
thanks neways for the comment
yeah my minimum is 18"s buddy ... ive like had 17"s all my life so yeah its about time to upgrade an inch
or 2.
lol.
19's fill the gaurd very nicely.
then drop it, HARD.
and that's one hot lookin s2k. lol.
yeah ?
you reckon ?
hmms 19's?
im more comfortable with 18"s on a mssive dump !!!
what you think ?
okay, IF i was you, i'd get 19's straight away. lol, no doubt, i've seen s2k's with 19's and 18's and the 19's fill the gaurds up more nicely.
if your gonna drop it hard, i reckon 19's
but 18's are still good, i'd just prefer 19's
just remeber , lowering the car too much will give it too much negative camber and in turn mess up your tyre wear .Quote:

i only got 18's on mine and lowered it 1.5 in front and rear , 18's work nicely , but i would go 19's if i was to buy rims again .

vuey would you be able to give me the offset of your mrs wheels
it was a 1.25 inch drop on all fours was it?
no camber wear?
i'd say the s2k is a cruiser/performance car.
