hey preludes > s2000
bigger trunk, more seats, more displacement, no rear differential to break.
</sarcasm>

what size/offset gt-7's are we talking about? 18x7.5 +55 offset non-staggered? if so, pass. put them on a stupid prelude.

did you catch the part in my post saying "IMO"?

...well, if not, i said it. it stands for "in my OPINION." in my opinion, 18's look way too big on s2000's.

and i sincerely apologize for not having enough money to buy an s2000. i guess i had no choice but to buy a "crappy prelude" clearly i am far inferior to your amazingness.
</sacasm>

...in the meantime, i still think those wheels look awful, especially in 18's. if you think its a good deal, buy them and resell them for more money.

I have a set of noble gold GT-7 in S2000 offsets and I love them. I'm not really a big fan of the wheels in any other color but that's just me. They only come in 18's BTW, and they look incredible on the S2000. I am running 15mm spacers in the front and rear to clear my brakes, and to give it a flusher look but I had to roll my fenders and relocate the bumper tab because I am lowered. There very uncommon and I get complements on the wheels all the time. The S2000 specific sizes are 18x7 and 18x8 both +50 I do believe. They only produce these wheels in very limited sizes.

the OP asked for an opinion, and i gave mine. i'm not sure why you're being so harsh about this.

my prelude still has nothing to do with these wheels in question.

my friend has em on his gs in 20s. i just sold mine ($1200 is apparently asking too much these days, your friend is milking you for money) in s2000 fitment and they were 18x7.5, 18x8, +50

I had a set of Noble Gold GT-7's on my S for awhile. IMO it was a mistake, and they really don't flow on the car. Wheels on cars depends on the type of setup you have. Some S2's with GT-7's can look great, while others just don't. I think if you look for a set of Advan RG II's or RPF1's or NT03's, all within the same price your looking to spend, would be a better idea, and look good in a variety of setups.

It's your car, put on what you like. Just don't expect every other person to like what you put on your own car.
