Thanks Austin...some great shots there.
The sickness is strong in me...in that front only shot, I hate the wheel gap...but it's what I wanted. Driveable and nice stance though.

I derped so hard - I was like "HOW DID YOU GET THEM SO CHEAP" then realized ... they're 17s, not 18s. *facepalm*

I think it looks plenty low - then again you could always go a little lower and see how it rides

No. I can't actually. The rear is maxed and I don't want a raked look. Plus, I know what fkng a front fender on a pristine S2000 feels like. Never again.

Also...not a huge difference in price from a 17 to an 18...

at 3 to 4 or 5 to 6, maybe...but not at 17 or 18. At that point you're just tippin it or you won't be invited back for a second round.

WTF for, it would just take up space in my garage and make too much space in my bank account. I literally will never use it. Even when I drive with the soft top up for a day due to rain, I get cabin fever...soon as it lightens up, fk it, top down...even with a light drizzle.

Didn't realize these are 17's but they look sweet on your car!

What made you go with 17's and not 18's?

Thanks man...yeah, what Majofo said. I had 18's on the last one and although it looked okay, they were too big for the body and got away from the intention of the car...heavier, less fender clearance. I vowed to never go 18" again after that debacle.

They look perfect for that car and that color. Nice choice. Def stick with the black lugs though and those center caps I'm not too sure about...

Yeah, I thought so...and I bought one from the seller on ebay that I bought the last one from, but the yellow isn't a perfect match, and it's off enough that it'll annoy me. So, until I figure out painting it...it's a no go.
