Not I. IMO the all black wheel has been done to death.

Check in S2KI photo section, you may find some there.

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!!
After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.

I like the black wheels.......I don't know if they've been done to death or not, as they're a lack of Stewies around these parts.

The ones I like the best are the AP1 wheels, powder coated black.......Isu posted a pic a while back of what he did to his...Maybe he'll be kind enough to post a pic of them on this thread, If he's not currently dreamin' of sugar plumbs, racing fuel, and the smell of burning rubber.

my current 18s are a nice silver that complements the sebring silver. i was only considering black 16s for their lightweight properties but not for their aesthetics. black is alright but a tad dark for sebring silver.

I had black PC AP1's on the silverstone and loved it, yet now I have graphite instead. IMO the graphite is a better look especially on silverstone with black calipers...contrast, but not too much.

I currently have a silverstone S and I am in the market for wheels also. I somewhat agree with Gomarlin. I'd say 4 out of five S's I see (on the net and locally in the street) have black wheels. Makes me wanna do something else. I agree with bobby as well, bling and S's don't go together. I am seriously thinking about mixing it up a little by going gold or even white (get ill wit it). Its always been in my nature to go against the grain. Though I think it looks tight, I just don't want to be another silver S with black wheels...... what to do what to do.

black wheels

i have black wheels but i used the stock rollers and i think that it turned out weel . it is a black semi-gloss so there is no shine to it and then i did the calipers in gloss black, now red calipers have been done to death. when i do get a set of after market wheels i was thinking about going to a navy blue for a big change. figure it would look good on the silver car. my car is in the new members area under some pictures. you can see my wheels there.

what about powdercoating the AP1 wheels black, but leaving the outside lip polished? I could do that
