I can hardly notice a difference on those pictures. As long as you're happy with the outcome, that's all that matters Car looks nice

you are corrrect.... there is only a 1 inch drop so you have to be someone who sees a lot of s2k's to notice the drop.... i like the factory look but i want a smaller wheel gap when the 18's get on it.

i wood say lower it another inch and put 16 inch gram lights and if gram lights are too expensive go to http://www.rotawheels.com and they make the best copy wheels that accually look real but overall the car looks good

Looks better than stock but get rid of your wheel gap or make it tuck with some clean rota's they are good copys of clean wheels. http://www.rotawheels.com

Rota does not make wheels with the proper offsets to fit the s2k.

for everyone who likes rota wheels... please go buy some and put them on your car if you like "copies" unfortunately I do not like copies and have to wait for a set of gtu's or le37's to come up for sale local... all good though

the s-tech springs will sag about another .40 inches after about 100km or so as that is the break in period and there will be almost no wheel gap with a set of 18's to go with it....... i cant wait

I would kinda stay away from Volks. Thats like owning a 99-00 civic SI. Everyone and their mother has them (don't kill me Dut!! HAHAHA). Try SSR, ADVAN, Spoon, Mugen, Riverside, Weds, Work, etc.
Do something different. Yeah, they are good wheels but if you really want to step out from the crowd (which it looks like your trying to do) than try any of the above wheels.
Good luck!

drop "looks" fine. Lower it anymore and you start to lose dampening in the shocks and will not be happy when you encounter bumps midcorner.

on a side note, what does it mean when something looks hard? hard like steel?
