Shopping for wheels on an S2k is downright impossible. The selection of wheels in a five-spoke design is pitiful, bordering on laughable.

Stupid high offsets.

FN01R-C doesn't come in high enough offset for what I want.

17x8 and 17x9, for a 225 tire in the front, and 245 in the back. This requires a front offset of +50.

In fact, NONE of the wheels from the major manufacturers come in high enough offsets in those wheel widths.

Been looking everywhere for:

Five-spoke
17x8 +55 (for the front)
17x9 +65 (for the rear)
Both less than 20lbs

Only options I can find are custom, which means big $$$$$$$$$$$$$.

There are a set of wheels I think I'm just going to settle for. They measure 17x7 +55 for the front and 17x8.5 +65 for the rear. Both are under/around 16lbs.

Sucks. No goddamn options at all unless I want to spend between $2100 - $4000.
