S2’s Goal Of Big Lip Flushness!
Wednesday, September 16th, 2009
Had a few requests lately for a flush S2000 setup so here’s the answer. We’ve done a few of these cars in the past mainly for autocross or track use and haven’t found the perfect street setup since. The new LM20 wheel can take advantage of what little caliper overhang the stock brakes have and display some very decent size lips due to so. Always trying to push the envelope and being able to due almost anything with no restrictions we were able to get 18×10’s on the front and massive 18×11.5’s on the rear all with stock body work. The front “could” have been 11” or 11.5″ wide and still bolted up but to keep the turning radius perfect the 10’s did the job perfect and were a good width match for the tire package we wanted to use. The wheels fit perfect with rolled rear fenders, front fender liner tabs bent up, and natural negative camber at the shown drop.

Neo Chro Edition
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009
When Kics released their R26 (short) and R60 (extended) cold forged SCM-435 lug nuts in this finish everyone sold their existing lugs to buy these bad boys. Not cheap at over $200 for a set they were left for the true so called wheel whores and ballers. Being all of our wheels are over the 2k plus margin they get thrown in this same categories so I wasn’t surprised when I got calls about coating the ARP stainless steel bolts in the finish. We haven’t messed with anything of this nature previously so when I finally found a company that we could out source to do the finish I found out why the lugs are so pricey….the Neo Chro finish. The end result is absolutely stunning on a fully polished wheel and worth every penny at $250-$300 additional on the set to be coated. You’ll be sure to have a distinct set of wheels.
