Should I go for it with these wheels???

[Jo]

Or is this too "heavy" of a look for a honda s2000. Quick photoshop I did of Work Euroline DH's. I'd have 2" lip up front, 3" lip out back. I'm pretty sure i'd be the only s2k in the us (or even the world) running these wheels:

As long is it's not 4x4 stance like that it should look decent enough.

[Jo]

eh, it would probably be at that height, if not a smidge higher. S2000 has really shitty offset requirements, and that setup would be at the upper limit. Lowered too much and it would rub like hell. I could go higher offsets and lower the car more, but of course that means less lip.

[pitchedup]

I think Kranze LXZ's would look sinister on that s2000.

[chmercer]

i would rather see a wheel with less lip and a lowered car than the other way around. sunken and low > mexi fitment, imo, the lesser of 2 evils, haha

[MS9]

personally ... it looks like too much wheel for an s2.. .

for an s2 i would personally go with some'n more sportier and lighter look'n..

i'm thinking these wheels may also work on an s2...

I agree, it's not bad, but if you won't be able to get it lower, I don't think it will flow very well, probably look truckish.
A lighter looking wheel would be a better choice I think

[Jo]

I'm sort of limited to Works, as I am getting a killer deal at cost. Currently i'm rolling SSR's, haven't lowered the car yet, i'm on stock height, just to give an idea. If you want to slam the s2k, you're really looking at a wheel with basically no lip, and +60 offset (vs the +40 i'd be running):

the DH, being full[er] face type wheel does look heavy. as jdm continues to gain popularity, work DH's appear on a lot more cars today.

[In my opinion] the s2000 is deserving of a sport[y] wheel, since it's a convertable roadster. a wheel like the emotion cr kai, emotion xt7, vskf, cx, etc. if you really wanted an euroline who about the euroline fe?

but since you're on the vip forums, where we all love to vip style our cars, here's a quick photoshop for you.

or making this a VIP influenced S2k?

Umm no. You can "slam" an s2000 and run a decently low offset. Infact here's a picture of a s2000 (not exactly slammed, but it doesn't rub at this height) and the offset on the rear is lower than yours would be. 18x10 +38

Personally i think you'd be wasting your money on wheels like that (Work DH) for your car, especially if you plan on leaving it at stock height! But, more importantly stop listening to what the robots on s2ki say about wheel fitment. Yes, you can run a lower offset wheel (comparitively) and still lower your car a decent amount.

add to that, there's always the option of modifying the fenders. unless of course you just want to leave it at stock height. but leaving it at stock height and putting on some wheels with standard widths and offsets won't separate your s2k from the crowd...

I forgot to specify with out running a ridiculous amt. of tire stretch and rolling my fenders. My car is a daily driver and I live right outside of philly, no way I'd run stretch anywhere near that.

the tires on the s2k posted by jzz30tt don't appear abnormally stretched by any stretch of the imagination.

i don't really see the point of this thread, as you don't seem willing to lower the car nor get wheels that will take some work to fit the car. in the end, it just sounds like you want to buy some wheels that aren't typically seen on an s2000 yet have no wow factor whatsoever.

[Jo]

i don't really see the point of this thread,


try reading the first post.....

I just wanted to know what people thought of the look. I wasn't asking for fender rolling, or tire stretching or suspension advice. Just wanted to know if people thought a full face wheel like that is too "heavy" of a style for a s2k. Plain and simple. No need to be a dick, especially if you are driving whatever is in your sig.

[I-am-a-VIP]

Im gonna have to get into this.
First a 255 on a 10 is a mild stretch, it wont affect daily drivability. Second rolling ur fenders is a easy and simple mod and wont affect daily driveability. I think your boxing yoursel in here saying what people have told you on s2ki.com

Trust me its doable and very daily drivable. Infact I know the owner of that s2k and bought the wheels off him.

So in short you can lower the car, roll the fenders, run a mild stretch and have a car that you can easliy daily drive
Dont be a s2ki ***** and do it :) :2funny:

[Jo]

I know rolling your fenders doesn't affect daily drivability. I just don't know how to do it, and i've heard horror stories of people cracking their paint when rolling fenders. I'd rather not have to repaint!

[JN.FYC]

It cracked cause they did a half ass job.
Now if you put your time & effort into it.
It'll come out just great.

not to put down jzz30tt, as i agree with him. you can rum lower offsets on the s2k. although, note, the rear fender is flipped out on this car. this will allow the owner to run a larger or lower offset wheel.

uuuhhhmmmm isnt this a VIP CAr site... :idiot2:..maybe you need to post this topic elsewhere maybe that NICO club...might* do you better..Most folks around here
are into Stretched tires,,camber , aggressive offsetss and sliggity slamming it..so threads like this and replys like you have will run you into trouble..food for thought!

now back on topic..Those wheels look ugly on that car..to heavy..that car is just not a VIP car..Sporty wheels will complament the lines of the car...never can go wrong with a 5 spoke..

Lol, i've been on these forums long enough to agree with exactly what you are saying, most folks around here
are into Stretched tires,,camber , aggressive offsetss and sliggity slamming it....but I only see a handfull, if that, actually doing it. The rest talk a good game.

I can get the kh in the same price/stagger/width/offset/lip size, you think that would suit the car better since it has thinner spokes?

[zion_97]

oh yeah ..that would look really nice..I think it will give you a look that you might be looking for..I think the other wheels are better for bigger cars with really agressive offsets..I just dont like that style in a no dish set up..but the 5 spokes arnt really car specific so will look nice...

[Jo]

.I think the other wheels are better for bigger cars with really agressive offsets..I just dont like that style in a no dish set up..


I dig what you are saying, but out of curiousity, you don't think this is a decent amt. of dish for what it is? I know it's not some insane cima fitment, but this is the dh with a 2.5" lip up front, i'd be running an extra half inch (3") in the rear, with either the dh or kh:

oohhh pimp.

I don't like the DH on the s2000 unless you are going all out with VIPstyle fitment, stance etc

Na the dish would be fine with what YOU want..what I was trying to say that the first wheelst that you posted are indeed a 5 spoke but they
are a thicker spoke..nice wheels but most of the cars you see them on are bigger 4 door wider vehicles..I think it is important to be different
however tunning your car to its lines and style is important as well..I think its easier to take a big 4 door luxury sedan and make it luxury sports sedan, but turning
a 2 door sports car into a luxury VIP car / VIp inspired is harder..jus my opinion..here is a photchop..for you

[jzz30tt]

No need to be a dick, especially if you are driving whatever is in your sig.


So you're telling him not to be a dick, yet you turn around and are one yourself?

I'd rather drive a LS over a s2k anyday... fucking s2000 owners and their "i drive a semi-exotic" <hahahahaha> mentality bullshit.

[One Ton VIP]

Here's a tip: those wheels look EXTRAORDINARILY ugly if you don't plan on doing any additional work to them... in fact, they would look out of place if you run them in a high (relatively speaking) offset, with unstretched tire (again, a relative term, but sounds like you want fat tires), and at a high ride height. If you're not willing to MAKE the wheels look good and fit even a little "extreme" on the car, you should do yourself a favor and just get the typical Meister S2Rs or Emotions or Volks etc. that everyone else knows will work on the S2K and ultimately be happier with the money well spent, vs. hating how weird your car looks with DHs that you spent good $$ on, and didn't even try to go the little extra step to truly make them look good on the car.

Ouch that was a bit harsh. :knuppel2:

You want lip...?

Here you go
Deep Racing Ryugi
18x8 +46 front while the rear is 18x9 +34. 5x 114.3 & 4x114.3 bolt pattern. this wheel has a 5 inch lip in the rear. Will come with all 4 Garson center cap.

Although you are correct, that rear fender was a bit fubar'd from rolling, it wasn't flipped out. I'm assuming whoever was rolling those fenders was unaware of how s2000 rear fenders come in further than most where it meets the bumper (much like miatas, just not as extreme). I wish I had a pic of the other side, I would have posted it.. but it looks a lot smoother.

[Benji]

I think most of the people are saying the DH won't look great on that car. I like the Euroline FS and SL and also the Equips would look better than DH's. To acheive the best wheel fitment, like everyone says, modification to the fender, lowering and stretching tires would be the way to make any wheels and car look 10x better.

[555]

i say go with the garson ryugi mate! veilside wheels also not bad for s2k ;)

I second 555 on the Veilside comment. Prestige, looks, and not so out of rear either.

I believe he was asking what we thought about how the Euroline DH looked on his car, not if his ass was faggoty or belonged here.

I think it has been established that most people agree that the DH is too heavy of a look.

[chmercer]

all these "lipped" wheels with s2k offsets suck anyway. cheater lip city. thats like saying you have a 4 inch lip on 17x7 +45 sa3rs cause the spokes bomb in all retarded style. screw that

[Pagong]

How about not take it any further than this and stop.

The member's already voiced thier opinions, either you like it or not its your choice on what wheels you eventually end up with.

Why is it so important to you for a bunch of forum member's to get thier approval on a certain wheel? Just get what you like, can afford and be happy with YOUR decision.

back on topic.

I think the S2000 is too sporty for the DH euroline, but if you like it then go for it.

tires.com was clearin out some club linea 2 piece that would have been nice for the s2000.

[One Ton VIP]

- The "pucker" on that rolled S2K fender lip looks akin to what happens when you don't account for a mounting tab between the fender and bumper.. sometimes it's inevitable though

- Personal attacks aside, I believe the point here is that there is a strong consensus that a wheel such as the DH w/o stretched tires, and w/o a little bit of an aggressive fitment AND stance will not make the car look good. In fact, wheels like that, esp. on a sporty looking car REQUIRE fitment and stance, otherwise you WILL end up feeling like you wasted your money. I mean, considering how much money you will spend on them, you will try and fool yourself into believing it looks awesome... but I think the mere fact that you *know* that it doesn't look ideal already from your posts, means that you will eventually not be happy. Thus, get something else that will make you happy considering your compromises of not too low, and not too aggressive. And don't expect to get much feedback from most folks on here when it comes to that....since that's what most people on here are trying to steer away from.

By far this is the best looking and goes well with the car. I don't think you'll find a more VIP styled wheel that will look as good on an S2K.
