Default Wheel options

I'm trying to find some wheels I like the look of, and that fit properly, and that you can buy in the UK easily. Looking for some inspiration I guess, plus ideally a vendor that can sell wheels from the UK and get them delivered fairly quickly.

Not really a fan of rotas, don't want silly fitting 'stance' wheels, so 17" in reasonable offsets is OK. I like RPF1s but they've been done many times already. Something a bit different might be nice. Volk make some nice wheels, but in S2000 fitment they are generally a bit weak looking.

I keep hitting dead ends and running out of ideas, whats good?

Funnily enough, I actually emailed them a few days ago! They replied with quotes for some Volk wheels instead... heh

Good suggestion though!

I am a bit biased as I have Work Emotions. Don't think many others in the UK do, so chances are you won't see anyone with the same wheels.

No idea, standard crappy customer service where they just completely ignored what I asked! Cheers for the other suggestions, will give the Works some thought, quite like them!

Lightweight, forged, dual valve, specially design for the S2000, widths and offsets to be able to run 255/40 on the front too...

I still think TE37s are the best looking wheels for the S, providing you get the correct staggered setup Mind you.. getting ahold of a set nowadays is nigh-on impossible.
