Default What Wheels?

Here is what the RS looks like.

Its gone in for some work tobe done



Right now since ive got rid of my voddos and there also sold and im very happy with my new setup thats in place, my suspention and also the slight camber.

Now i also like the handling with the wheels, and that its putting the power down alot more, also alot more soft even tho i had my suspention on soft on my old 17s and it was on low pros and i hated the ride, cant feal every single little bump now and my settings have changed to mid way on the suspetion.

Now i love the 15s and the way it looks, but i'm looking at going something on the lines of Diffrenet, i want some nice classic wheels that would suite the old school look, but look also look very clean.

i was going on the lines of 3door wheels, as they come in dark inners and crhome outside. but with a red pin stripe

Looks good as it is mate, wouldnt touch it.
Definite "NO" to 3 door wheels on an S2, they dont go IMO.

My mates got my late spec Saph 15" sharktooths on his S2. Not a common swap but look pretty good.

16's would be a compromise if you dont want to go back to 17's again:
Mondeo Escos style rims or 16" diamond cuts, which aint easy to come by, but do come up on ebay from time to time at decent money.

If it was me, i'd leave it standard or 17" softlines tho.

nah gleny matey,put some revolution milleniums on it for that tarmac rally look the rs turbo can carry off,either silver or anthracite or white look the best,i'd go for anthracite meself. you could get genuine ford wolfs in 17" in germany and i would think they could look good and its not somthing thats been done over here afaik.
