Default Opinions on these 17" wheels?

Sadly I've been waiting a long time for some MY05 wheels to get to me and so I'm now weighing up the alternatives if they don't turn up.

Have found these wheels here: AEZ Xylo 17"

They are available from a number of places in the

Since the S2000's not on their configurator, I think that answers your question.

Even if they do make a +55, they won't make a +65 offset for the rear!

They've advertised on Ebay that they are for the S2000... hence my dubious query! Thanks

according to their tech sheet

http://www.aez-wheels.com/398_EN.0?webdid=34

they only make 16 and 17 inchers with an offset of -40 which is too high.
Also they dont have any stagger available for teh rear.
17x7 offset 40 would eventually pass up fron but no rears available

... I'm gone!

Any recommendations on "not too expensive" options with specific retailers? Seen all the threads otherwise.

rota wheels or toxic rims i cant remember? they sell alloys at resonable prices seem to go from around 450ish upwards.

Think Andy Wallce the guy selling an S at the moment got his from this retailer.
