New Rims...finally
I was all set to get 18" BBS RGR's when these bad boys dropped in my lap at an awesome price. I had some problems getting them on (one of my fenders was completely unrolled and sticking straight into the wheel well) but one of the guys from the S2000 boards helped me roll it up. After we did it, I realized it was actually pretty easy even though the body shops wanted $600-800 to hammer it up and then repaint the whole rear quarter panel. 
Anyways, I'll post more pics when the car is clean...I just wish I had the satin finish that BlackC230Coupe has.

They're about 25-26 lbs, which isnt bad for a 19" multipiece rim. Unfortunately its still alot heavier than the 16s and the car feels a little slower, but its definately worth it for the improved handling and the HUGE improvement in looks. The goodyear GSD-3s are awesome tires.
