im in the market for some wheels (got stuck with ap1s on my ap2, cause owner did not wasnt to sell with the mf10 mugens )

i really like how the AXIS SPEED LOOK
others im considering are
-black rpf1s (i like because they are light but, my car will look too much track no?)
-axis matrix
-vs-xx (too much money tho)
-bbs (i like a few models)

but, ive seen most of these on s2k and have an idea of what they look like on thecar. i have not seen AXIS SPEED on the s2k, and was hoping someone could photoshop. i have no comp skill. and would be much appreciated.

thank you

 

sorry im not good at photoshop either, but personally i think that rim you show here would be perfect for your S2000 especially b/c they go with the color theme of your car with that hardtop. buy them!

 

i dont believe those Axis 18" has high offsets that S2ks needs.. unless you wanna shave your rear and front fender and run stretched tires....

 

not really diggin' that design for your car..

How about these:

How about some RPF Type RCs or some good old CE28s?

 

Agreed I also don't think they will look good. But these will be cheaper then the enkei and they look similar

 

I love the AP2 stock rims.

 

AP2 V1 wheels FTW

 

yeah, i like that fact that they will give a nice "unracer like look to the car"

nope, dont wanna roll of shave

i dont like these much, id take the rpf1s instead

ill have to look at those... not sure which ones these are

whats the point in spending money on some OEM RIMS, yeah they do look nice but, wouldnt it be better to save a few extra hundred to get some aftermarket.

but, i have considered these...except id get them painted a gunmetal or so...

 

i like the axis rims, they'll look pretty good

 

I was going to mention the RPF1, but didn't for various reasons. I have seen them on many S2000s and they look sick with the right offset and tire size. I didn't mention them for fear of having someone say they are played out or "you only recommended them because you have them" which I do. I have them on my teg after they were recommended to me by another member on the board.

Personally speaking, no matter how played out people say the RPF1 wheel is, for the price, it's the best looking and lightest sport wheel on the market hands down.

 

Its all personal taste and more expensive is not always better. I think that those after market wheels+tires will cost alot more then just a couple hundred dollars more then OEM. If I was going to spend money on after market wheels I would save up alot and buy a set of Volks or BBS.

 

after such a long time, i finally got some used wheels. couldnt pass up on this offer as they were only $280 with tires. pics up in a bit.

 

here they are

 

Specs?

 

5ZIGEN 5ZR Gunmetal polished lip

these are way back. guy who sold them said they are stock ap2 firment but the front tires looked streched. didnt check the rims. but stock fitment i think is. these are aslo stock s2000 tires but, the fronts look streched. rims might be a little wider. the sit flush-ER than the stock id at this height.

17x7.5 front
17x8.0 rear

tires it came with
potenza re50
225, 45 60% thread (front)
245, 40 30% thread (rear)

i had these rims in white on my civic in 2005.

N YES I KNOW THE CAR NEED S DROP!

thats my next mod

 

Not a fan. Maybe a drop would help. Still liking that black top though!

 

I like the face of the wheel, but hate all of those rivets

But congrats on your purchase! I'm looking forward to when you drop it

 

yeah the top makes the this car look sweet IMO. i think a drop would help.

ill be dropping in in the next several months if all goes well. im getting some coilovers.

thanks

 

ill be purchasing some center caps for the weels too. that should help improve the look

 

With AXIS Speed:





With Enkei GTC01:

 

love the gtc01,

you should look at some advans too

 

I like the GTC01's more...

 

I think they look great! Sweet hardtop btw, looks sick!

 

read the thread before you post. he bought a set already.

btw, those don't look good man... you drive s2k man, get some nice looking light rims... not those cheap rims. $280 with tires????? wtf man

sorry.

 

thanks man.

lol. i dont think theyre THAT cheap. tires are nice also.

i was looking to get some RPF1's but dam. the cheapest i could find them is $800 no tires. lets say i get a hook up on some nice tires, that puts me at $1200. thats a little more than id like to spend on rims. instead i put it away in my savings. lol

i have a friend who just bought some gram lights from japan for 1700 new plus shipping. shipping was ridiculous too! i think the wheels alone cost more than his car. he has a 240sx.

ill be getting some better rims in the future. this is the first thing i buy for the car, i have something against spending money on cars. so lets say this was the first step.

 

I say do it right the first time or don't do it at all. In the end it's your car do what you feel is right. I would have just stayed with the ap1 rims and have them powder coat or rattle can them black or gunmetal and save the money for better rims. $800 for rpf1 is a great price imo if new. Or if you really wanted to change rims I would have just sold the ap1 for $300-$400 and picked some ap2 v1 for $500-$600.

Nice. s2k btw Im in the market for one myself, hopefully find a nice berlina black ap2
