Default Ready to get on the soap box?

You are gonna love this one, 17" Mania alloys to fit Honda S2000 -

Also fits shed loads of other cars including a Ford Galaxy??

The best bit - all of them are 7.5" wide

Dunno about you but I would never fit 4 wheels the same on an S2K

They must be a staggered offset otherwise it will be all over the place.

What gets me if someone had advertised them to fit an S2000 and someone unknowingly fits them, crashes as a result, where would they stand?

I've got the same size front and rears .. was fine round Nur.

ET42 J8 - 205 on the front and 245 on the rear.

(and it feels better than the stock rims)

Rubbish don't touch them.

Although govnr has sold some decent stuff, and usually knows his S2000 things.

A note to let him know wouldn't go a miss. (He'd visted here before) And I think Mark (LL) has even met him.

I think the word 'fit' can be used very loosely when talking about wheels - plenty of evidence on here! Right Lloyd?

I've met govnr too. He has apparently rebuilt a lot of written off S2000's and usually sounds like he knows what he's talking about. However, like most people on ebay, when he sells his unwanted parts he wants the most money he can get for them.

I guess technically they would fit but sadly some poor bugger, not as learned as you guys, will learn the hard way.

Honda doesn't fit staggered width and off set for no reason. I'd never fit the same width wheels all round. They look odd from the side, normally sticking out more on the front than the back.
