As it asks, which is the best rim width...Anybody have any reason besides autox.
Thanks in advance.

Also they offer the 16" also in a 35mm and 45mm offset...I know my rsx is a 45mm offset but was the ITR a 35mm offset.

Whats up Ben? I like the RSZ but they haven't released a 17" yet.
I am steering towards the 17" Work Emotion 1-piece fully forged (at 18lbs)...But the SSR Competitions weigh only 15.0 pounds for the 18"....

The 16"x8" Rim is for the Rear of the S2000
the 16"x7" Rim with a 35mm offset if the Front S2000 rim.

You might be able to fit them onto another car but they were setup with those widths and offsets for the S2000 in particular.
