Default 18" wheels

Wonder if anyone can make a suggestion?

I am in the market for some 18" wheels (possibly 18" x 8" fronts + 18" x 9.5" rear) however having scoured eBay for a 'bargain' and finding it fruitless can anyone suggest somewhere to get cheaper wheels, don't have to be new.

Also am not a 'brand snob' but would prefer not to get reps such as Rotas or Dare etc.
Happy to pay the premium on a 'good' set of wheels such as BBS or Enkeis.

By the way am in the UK.

What's a bargain? We need a price range.

Hmm. Basically you are going to looking for the right set of used wheels which takes time. You must be patient. Watch the uk fs area and eBay for the right set. 18x9.5 isn't an overly common size with s2000 friendly offsets either so you may want to open your search to include 18x9 as well. Enkei's can be had here for about $1k but I am not that familiar with vendors in the uk. Maybe ask in the uk section if anyone knows of good used or new wheel vendors? I can give you sites I look at but they are based here and shipping would be nuts.

Finally bought some buddy club 18" with Falken 452 tyres on (fronts are 215/40's and the rears are 245/35's) thought they were too good to refuse especially at £600 delivered

Heres the thread: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/105...8-buddy-clubs/
