Can't possibly imagine why you would want to swap these awesome 'rims' You may get a few quid back selling them on, maybe drop Define a PM and see if he's interested

At least the centre caps look genuine and in decent nick!

Them aftermarket wheel are utter shite, how awful.

The 16's wheel design is perfect for the S IMO, just such a shame they are not 17's. Look nice in that colour though.

Ive just wasted £200 powder coating my Rota wheels, waste of money and all as they are shit wheels, but still they now look nice

Think i will stick with my oem 17" diamond cut ones thanks....

Honestly im gobsmacked the love a set of 16" pre facelift wheels are getting! i thought their must be a reason that no one seemed to want to buy them and people resorted to selling them for around £50 for a set :s

Maybe i should go and buy all the cheap sets up and flog them to all you lovers of them!

Or maybe you lot are just being overly nice to stop this guy from cutting his wrists and all ties with the forum lol

Look FAB.

I too travelled and bought an old set but the garage I bought it from (the S2000) owed me a favour and got them done in exactly the same colour.

These are wrapped in summer tyres and I have another 16inch set with winter wheels...

Like I say..FAB!

I agree the 16's compliment the pre face lift car perfectly and look great.

Keep them original as the car intended.

I've got a set you can buy, but you might need to get them refurbed

I went from 16 to 17 because of the extra girth ...
I found 16 were very skittish (on track) so upgraded. If it's just for road then stick with 16.

Yeah they will be road use pretty much all the time with a track day or 2 a year probably.

Ended up buying a set of RE002's which should be delivered this week. Hopefully be rid of these old rims sooner than I thought.

Yeah I'm quite looking forward to the nicer ride people talk about, together with the awesome tyres that are on route (RE002s).
Going to be an exciting week haha.

I got them done at Vulcan Stove Enamelling (VulcanSE Call 01903 770287).
Couldn't decide between gloss black or satin black, so went with Anthracite ha

First person to try out the new range of powders that they had got in, so much choice.
This is the range that they have now:

Signature Finish Collection | Powder Coating

Some are a bit wild for my liking.
