Default Help Me Choose a Package ----- > : )

Whatsup guys . . . I have a Black AP1 . . . and I need your guys opinion on picking a wheel/top set-up below. : )

I live in an area where the roads are bumpy . . pot hole notorious : ( . . . winter is in the sunny 70's . . . summer in the blistering 115's. No rain . . . just sun. My car is on a Eibach/Koni setup currently. The only thing that I hate about the s2k is how much noise the top makes (creaks, clicking, wind noise) ! But I love having the top down. The s2k is currently my daily driver, but I will be getting a crx/ej as a beater (in the fall). . . . and the s' will become a panty dropping wkend warrior



Option 1
Stock OEM Wheels (5 Spoke, already on)
High Performance Tires
OEM Hard Top

Option 2
Wedssports SA90 in Bronze (17's)
Okay Tires
New Cabrio Canvas Top w/ Glass instead of Plastic

Thnkx

dude im not sure.

the Weds don't really have the best offsets, but they work. an OEM hardtop would be nice though.

Tirerack offers a 50'ish (not sure) off set . . .

don't even think of putting okay tires, okay tires are for civic and accord.

sorry i am not saying your are a rwd noobs or anything but there's way too much people getting too tail happy and total it up.

get the best tires you could afford, anyone brave enough to run non staggered set up yet?

I am getting real close to get something with the right offset but i want to run 8 -8.5 all the way around. See if this will give me the more netural handling

LOL IS THERE OPTION C?
jk

Option 1 for the win man, trust me.

Don't put "okay" tires on an S2k especially with the offset those wheels have.

Okay tires on S2K = bad for business.
