Default My new (used) :)) S2k

Hi all,

Nice

Lucky you with the Top Down weather

Why not red wheels?
To match the seats.

From what I've been reading struts = no use, just bling.
No personal experience though.

!! Welcome aboard, Jonny.

Keep your eye on the dipstick (early cars like ours have an appetite for oil), and it'll treat you well.

Take your time getting used to the car. I don't want to hear of any mishaps.

17" is a good size for our car. As for style, well, I'm a gunmetal guy myself. I think gunmetal looks really great on white, but that's just me. Otherwise, I think polished stuff looks nice (I'm not usually into the shiny wheels, but they highlight white, I think).

Red? Hmm.... I don't think I'd do that.

Best wishes. And, consider a s2ki.com membership if you like the info / support you get here.

Those are nice looking, but I don't know anything about the quality of that brand. Make sure the offsets are correct for the S, especially if you're going to upgrade to 255 width in the rear.

I've seen nice powder coated white wheels that look good on the GPW S, I'd go with white or chrome and step out in style.
