What kind of help do you need? You obviously got the wrong wheels for your car. It all depends on the customer service of the shop you ordered your wheels from.

If the shop said these would work, take it back and show them it doesn't. they shouldn't exchange the wheels for you to something that works.

There is a ton of literature on what offsets are available for this car. Did you not read up? If you have been interested in cars for any longer than a month or so, you should know that aftermarket automotive companies provide the absolute worst customer service on the planet.
Plus, you've driven 20,000 miles on them like this and you think you are entitled to something? Please.

i hate to tell you, but your pretty screwed man. cam obscura is right though. The automtoive industry has one of the worst customer services possible. There are shops out there that will tell you what you want to hear just to make a sale while others are true and hold up to there names. How do I know?
i work at a shop myself and i see this happening all the time. I for one have never gave off a sale not knowing what the circumstances are.
sadly to say, but there not gonna take a hit for anything due to "operator error." Your stuck.
your best bet?
make these fit or sell em. There are many ways to go around and make these fit such as running a stretch tire,negative camber, or rolling of the fender which it seems you have not even done any of this.
It is a moderate offset but its not anythign crazy. This can be corrected with plenty ease if your wheel savy

No one f'ed you but your self. You think some company in a magazine has read up on and references the recommended offsets for the Honda S2000? All they see and understand are matching bolt patterns.
BTW, why in your original post did you state 20K miles?

he is from montreal, so the k most likely meant kilometers.
as for the rims you bought, you should talk to them about exchanging them for a wheel that will fit. if they don't exchange them, then do like the guys mentioned above. either sell em and get new ones, or modify the car a little bit to fit them.

im sorry for what happen but you should've known what you were getting yourself into.
There are plenty of wheels that you can buy that will fit our cars with plenty ease. It's just the matter of forking up the cashflow for em'. wheels such as Work, Volk, Jline, Kinesis, yadya yadya ya that'll fit to our exact specfications when needed.
