S2000 Wheels:

Front fit fine without any problems!

They will look great once they are polished up! :twisted:

Now for the rears! I fitted them today in the rain and they fit fine without any problems! :D I know the rear's are wider then the front but they fill the car so nicely! :twisted:

And full view of the wheels.

What do you think!? What would happen if I get two more rear wheels and use them as fronts!? They are wider and fill the arches more!! :twisted: :roll: :D

Slip on spacers are ones that just slip over your existing hub bolts and they're jobby. Hubcentric spacers bolt onto the hub and then you bolt the wheel onto the spacer. much better

:oops: The Rears sit flush with the arches now so maybe If I get two more rears for the front then it will all be flushed against all arches nicely! :twisted:
