New wheels ?

lovely wheels (slipstreams), i had my eye on some matt black without the polished lip for a while.. they are a nice weight too. Ill only be after 15's and they come in at 4.8kg each.

Get some Rota grids, then you can pimp the Volk Te-37 look.

if we are talking Te-37's - then its got to be the magnesium ones!

Problem with the s2000 that the wheel fitments are limited, they need a massive offset (The OEM 17s on later cars are et 55 on front and 65 on rears).

Not all wheels will fit, plus of course you need wider ones at the rear too.

Seen a couple of them with superlegera's on and they look fantastic imo.

I have a set of these on my Prelude. They are nice enough but really with a black car I should have tried to get a black rather than gunmetal wheel!

I think they would look pretty cool on a low grey S2000, it's hard for me to suggest anything else especially with a grey car as very few wheels work nicely. Best bet maybe to look on sounddomain.com and see if there is anyone on there with a similar setup!

Not quite the correct offset but they look too nice

I had those in mind for my car. Really really like them.

What size will you get, 17?

Yeah 17"s,

They'd look ace on an S2000. Not too sure about a Rover though

mm Speedline Turinis, or those buddy club ones

Although my preference would probably be the lightest ones I could afford.

am i the only one thinking that 10" wide rears is a bit much for a 240bhp car?

you don't want too much, you'll lose the wonderful ability to easily kick the back out. The rotas look great

as i remember when i bought mine rarerims didn't stock all the off sets... ended up getting them from tracktec, but they only really do MX-5 stuff, might be worth asking if they can get the offset you needed....

245 on the rears

Went for some Rota Grids in the end. Toyo T1R tyres.

Seems to handle well and I'm liking the look of the wheels, the bigger profile tyres make them look purposeful plus the wheels are brand new where as the previous ones let the car down due to the milky laquer. Very happy with them, think they need a bit more tyre pressure too. Definately lots of grip from them now though

Good choice Si, Rotas?

Sone · 14 Oct 2006 at 16:58

no centre caps :confused:

The ones with them are some tacky carbon fibre look a like ones. Much better without them.

Need to spray the driveshaft nuts black really.
