Without stating the obvious beef, are all the wheels going to be avilable in those sizes or is it a more of a spcialised size that not many peeps do?

What about custom splits like mark makes?

I'd stick to 17". I think anything over that is too much on an S1. Gotta be some bad ass, centre lock split rims

you need something with sharp defined edges to match the lines of the bodywork.
why dont you look for alloys that were fitted at the time/ some may surprise you when you see the modern version.
for me it would have to be polished seven spokes,like i said sharp edges to match the body style.
