Default Fitted my old wheels onto the S1

Woke up on Thurs and thought I'd swop my wheels for the set I had on my S2. Anthracite TSW Stealths with Toyos all round.
Wasn't sure at first, but the more I look at them, the more I'm loving them. Only thing I need is some new centre badges: white with blue RS logo. Currently got silver with new style RS logo and this doesn't fully look right (had them on the S2 remember...)

1st pic shortly after fitting.
2nd pic a zoom shot from Donington.
3rd pic an interior shot from Donington. (Excuse the footprint on the mat: was very dusty )

(Btw..I don't think the pics do them justice, but thought I'd post anyway...)

The wheels look awful! They look toooooooooo small for the car!

Put the originals back on

They do on the top pic as you cannot see where the tyres start or finish as they are in shadow

They look better in the flesh..honest

I dont belive ya!

A Series 1 is one of the only RS cars that I would never change the wheels on! Especially on a D plate that looks as nice as yours!

Get them back on!

lol!

Car looks nice and clean. But the black wheels dont do it any justice.....just wrong contrast IMO

Stick to standard ones. Cheaper too.

Trevcannon: Cheers. At least someone else bar me like them..lol
Twins: They did have dressing on.
MichaelG: Why are standard ones cheaper ?? They are the same size as standard.
Billy: Dust was proper rubbish Just opened the bonnet to plug in the life support, and it's minging in there with dust

Not my cup of tea, i think its more the style than anything, ive never been a fan of stealths

Your car though mate, who cares what anyone else thinks, if it makes you happy thats all that matters
