I don't understand

the previous version multi-spoke look so much better

I've seen , on here , comment's along the line's of " look's like MX5 wheel's "when refering too the 5 spoke wheel's

Any way I've got 3 and half year's worth of chip's to get rid of on mine

I don't know really - I'm just not a fan of loads of spokes in wheels. It's like the BBS LM's that everyone loves - I can't stand them!

Less is more for me, I think!

Theoretically, it should be 5 or 10 spokes. The Mugen MF-10 was probably my favourite.

The six-spoke BBS were the exception...

IMO Volk SE37Ks are one of the best looking wheels for S2000 and they are 16 spoke wheels (8 double spokes).

^^^ Never understood the appeal ( nor grasp the price tag ) of Volks, HIDEOUS design wheels, looks like they were styled be ripspeed, and spending a 1/3 of what I paid for the car? Naff that...

08-09 wheels, OEM+ look for me, don't like facelift wheels really....

Forged wheels are very strong and light weight. Maybe that's why the appeal.

And then going back to the 5/10 spoke rule

You get the Rays CE28 which are pretty special.

True dat.

Pity they're the wrong offset & the camber arcs are all fu cked up so you might as well have used four-tonne Wolfraces. :sigh:
