A lot of wheels look good on S2000s, they're overall very good looking cars. I personally like OZ Racing Black Ultraleggera, and Mugen GP wheels. As far as coilovers, go for Tien SS's. I've heard plenty of great reviews about them. And no, i do not own an S200, hope this helps.


And P.S.: Proper English is the make-or-break of sounding intellegent. It's also a lot easier to read. Don't take offense to people giving ****, it's all fun and games.

Anyways.

I suggest KGMM suspension if you can get ahold of them, they did however go out of business awhile back but you can probably find some on www.s2ki.com or on Honda-Tech S2000 classifieds.

As for wheels, it's preference. I have Volk TE37's, I forget the correct size but I do believe they are 17x8.5 in the rear. They look perfect but with my suspension (Tein) they do rub a bit because they are so wide.

Ok Diddy, now that you cleaned up your way of words a bit maybe someone will be happy to give you some additional advice. Honda-Tech is like a community, would you want gangsta's in yours?

255.40.17 in the rear and 225.45.17 in the front.

Here are a few pictures since you have a silverstone as well.

Don't think so, we have our own forum so that's good enough for me.

Thanks and no I do not, I have an Integra Type-R as well (pictures in my signature) that has been tracked before. So if I did race I would use the Type-R rather than beating on the S2K.

Like I said, wheels are just preference in what you prefer. I like the stance of mine because it looks wider and aggressive from the rear rather than skinny and stupid. If you're going to get some kind of wheel, make sure it's the one you want first.. Don't just get any wheel "until I can afford new ones" because those usually look like ****. :p

Suspension wise you can't go wrong with H&R, Tein or KGMM.. I am familiar with those products suspension wise and haven't any complaints about them. My Tein S-Techs ride very well and give my car a good stance, but my wheel and tire combination does make them rub every other bump I hit. I won't hit on speed bumps, I never have.. But it will rub if I turn too hard on a corner or go over a bump. Take your time with the car, no sense in rigging it up to be something you'll dislike. This is my second S2000, and I've had cars from the new Lexus IS250 to E46 (2003) BMW M3's and you can't go wrong with the handling, aerodynamics or styling of the S2000.

If you need any advice, that's what we're here for. Welcome to the S2000 family!

Doesn't the rubbing depend on how low you go and not the brand of the suspension?
