Default Wheels... Wheels... Wheels...

Hi again guys,

I only picked up my S2000 at the end of August, and I've been well chuffed with it (apart from the kangaroo effect, but hopefully that will be sorted from now on!) BUT, although the car is close to showroom condition (not bad for a '99) the wheels have been nerfed at one point, and badly repaired.

I will be needing another set soon (aiming for a switch at about the same time the tyres need doing) and have no idea what to get!

Basically, I have looked, but all the styles that I like don't seem to fit (all OZ except Super Leggys, Lenso Evo II, Tenzo R's etc.). Could you guys give me an idea of any and all wheels that are known to fit (I would prefer to go for 17" as I think 18" is just too big for a car the size of the S - although I could be swayed if the argument is strong enough!) and show piccies if possible.

This is another great chance to show off your ride too, so post away!

Thanks in advance for any info and help,

Paul

I'd be interested in this thread, just posted on for sale re the evo's but would prefer to get a wheel with the correct off sets. There seems to be a crap choice of wheels at any where near affordable prices in the uk to suit the s.

Yeah, I have always liked these wheels (even had some on order for my old FTO but had to cancel as the three month wait was unbearable). Those pics could also convince me that 18"s are acceptable. It's a shame that the gunmetal colour is no longer available though...

According to OZ website, these are their only wheels that fit the S too (and then only in 18"!)

Suppose if I wanted, I could get mine refurbed - the damage isn't too bad, and a bit of TLC could really do the trick. Would just like to go up to 17" if poss...

Don't get OZ Superlegerra's will you?

They are crap, honest they are. Really they look pants and the ride is terrible.




We don't want too many people with these now do we?
