Go with the wheels that have the right offset.

Given the amount of money you've spent already, I'd spend a little extra and get some nice lightweight Volks or something.

I bet if you looked on the US forums they'd be some for sale if you didn't wanna buy brand new.

No point adding all that extra grunt then weighing the car down with Masey Ferguson alloys.

Indeed it was and they were Leggy Blondes who bought them from Southern Counties... no rubbing (I don't think front 18's cause a problem anyway though ?) and IMHO suit the car well in those sizes. Oh and replacing 17 front tyres is a bit cheaper than 18's of course

Can't see any difference between the super leg and ultra though (less weight ?)

I had couple of sets of 18"s on my old S and the first made the car handle like crap but the second made it feel well planted and alot more responsive, its all in the offsets get these wrong and you'll know about it!

If I we're you I'd go with the Work's. Although someone said they look chunky in the pic, its a whole different matter when they're on the car they have got to be one of the sexiest wheels available on the market today them the Racing Hart CP035R's & BBS LM's

Infact I think you should rethink your whole wheel situation

Leggy Blonde had this set up on Saxo Boys car IIRC
I can neither confirm nor deny. All I know is that she had OZs on it but sold the alloys seperately. I'd be interested to see pictures of my car side on with that 18+17 set up if anyone has any kicking around. Registration is S2000 LB and its imola orange so look through your collections

I bought my wheels this time last year from the main "for sale" and paid ~
