they do look nice with the kics bolt on spacers!! Just depends if you like the wheel or not... I preferred my 16" to the 17" look so wanted the bigger wheels but different design... got the ROTA Fighters instead...
Torn between ROTA Slipstreams in full polished or ROTA Torques in bronze.

i have 18" wheels on my S2K and it drives and handles great, had the wheels fitted when i bought it.

personally if buying wheels i would go for 17's though,

best for looks and performance

I think the polished on black would be quite smart, think I'm leaning towards the Slips...

if you watch the above vid it races the 1st gen against the 2nd gen and then at 8.28secs they put the 17 inch wheels on the 1st gen car and test it on the track again......its a good watch....

quite an interesting video. Didn't realise how much small adjustments on geo would affect the car.

Suits - your car on stock suspension with the Slipstreams...?

polished slips on black car would look fantastic!! With a subtle drop too! (or maybe slightly more than subtle , preference really)

^^think I remember that video... they tested and put ap2 wheels on the AP1 and said that it wasn't just the wheels that made the difference, there was also subtle differences think with ARB, wheels etc...

^that might help, think there may be polished but unsure... keep searching if you want to see what it looks like...

Quick Reply: 16s or 17s...?
