I hope they are S2000 oem sizes or very similar. 17x9 around +45 would be awesome.

Still can't believe the FT-86 concept is 2" shorter than an S2k which is already really low. I can't wait to see this thing at the NY Autoshows next year.

Yeah but I'm just in love with the S. Every time I consider getting rid of it, I just can't bring myself to do it.
