The S2k is now dropped 1.5 inches :D

Next up on tap will be a Carbon Fiber Front Lip and 18" Black Axis reverb wheels that I am buying within the next week once my factory wheels sell. Sorry for the ****ty pics but I took them with my camera phone, Our Digi Cam is busted :(

Sorry for the ****ty pics but I took them with my camera phone, Our Digi Cam is busted :(Please paint the center/hub of those Axis wheels black! The silver around the lug nuts ruins the look of the wheels!

Because I like how certain things on the car look that makes it a dumb to buy something? C'Mon, you buy cars you dont think look good? lol

The outside looks is about half the reason I bought it, Not ALL of it.

IMO i would look around alittle more. 18s are a little too big, and Black/chrome lip wheels are played out right now on any color car. It does look good as it is, but wheels and lip kit would give it the "complete" look and feel. Honda nailed it with the AP2 wheel design , so sticking with a similar design like the Work Emotion CR kai would go eat with that car. And Ive always said "a japanese car deserves japanese wheels" lol. :2cents:

Really nice S2k, but IMO I think some bronze rims would look great! Maybe 17"s.

yes, its dumb to base a decision, in part, on stock exhaust tips on a sports car that we all know will eventually be replaced with something that actually flows.


not raining on your parade, i love the car, i was actually searching out ap2's when i found the goat....its just hard to find one that isnt over priced or has been molested by an idiot.

Axis wheels? :upchuck:....GTFO out with that, SRSLY. Those rims would just ruin the whole image of the car. Look around HT and check out some dope ass s2k's there.

06-22-2008, 08:16 PM
i am also curious about the drop? what kind?
as for the wheels, i agree about the specific wheels. go witht he works, volk gt28n's look good, etc.. multiple spokes

Wasnt JUST for that, It was one thing of many that to me made the car just look so good, A overall package. And no I am not changing the exhaust.... Bolt ons like Exhaust and Intake do not make a difference on the S2k because of how its tuned so the exhaust will be staying :)

car looks real nice with the drop... I would say definitely get a lighter wheel with more spokes.. would look a lot better.

listen to lex p00n face...painting and powdercoating oem wheels is for winkers...i mean you are one..but step outside the winker box:lmfao:

seriously though...i'm against powdercoating oem wheels..they look so good as is, dont mess em up. just save up and get new wheels:goodjob:

Brett
06-23-2008, 01:37 PM
Well the drive way may be off, or the angle I took it at and also the pic was taken an hour after so it also had to fully settle, trust me its the same all the way around.. Plus the camber is way off now on all the wheels so I am going to Mikey today after work to get the alignment and camber reset

i was talking with a few owners when i was wanting ot get one. they said that around 6cm lower it handles outstanding with sway bars as well

And please no Axis or powdercoated stock wheels, those RPF1's would be great, but not in black.

For now I went with some good springs and a 1.5 drop, Maybe some day I will do a coilover kit but to be honest the car seems to handle as good so far and Mikey did the camber yesterday and they did some wicked adjustments and it seems to do very well right now :)

RPF1 is over used for the S2K and too plain for the car. S2Ks looks best slammed on those wheels with a nice low offset.

I highley suggest when you all need a damn good alignment to see Mikey, They have a inground lift so so matter how low your car, They can do it.
