im thinking of changing the wheels on my s1 it currently has 17 diamond cuts on maybe go for another set and was interested in everyones feedback

 

stick with what you have, escos rims are all wrong for S1s and softlines are simply a poor mans RS7

 

Out of the choices you've given, I'd rekon softlines...
If not, I would go for std 7 spokes, or good old MO's!

 

i know what u mean about the softlines i may get the diamonds refurbed aswell but then id be scared to use them lol ive seen the 16 rs7s but i dont think they look quite right in the arches with the s1 bodykit

this is how she sits at the minute

 

on the 16 RS7s it will drive and handle miles better but the 17s do look better and are easier to find as the 16s are hens teeth to locate

 

i know it drives awfull on these 17s but it looks good like u say it would probly benefit from polybushing aswell.

the 16s are hens teeth i know they seem to get snapped up for fiesta rsts as i dont think the 17s fit proply

 

There is 16" diamond cuts on gumtree based in N Ireland for Ł300

Imo stick to stock 7 spokes

Diamond cuts are overpriced and overrated crap. And sure you are bored of your set. I agree Escos wheels dont look right on a S1.

If you are going aftermarket, it has to be Comp TH2s

 

comps are nice i also like azevs but there pricy i rekon ill get a good couple of hundred for my diamonds in the condition there in they seem like choclate wheels to me easliy bent

 

Azevs suit it because of the era of the car....but every wee cock end with skinny jeans and a Golf will think your S1 has gone the Euro look..lol

I personally dont like S1's, but if i had one (or if my S2 was road going) i would 100% genuinely have them on something like TSW Stealths or Venoms, or along the lines of Antera 143s or Momo Arrows. Just for utter nostalgia!!

 

whats up with an s1

 

Nothing. I just dont like them

 

thats fair enuff mate there not for everyone i supposei know the 80s bodykit is lary lol

 

Arrows yes
Venoms

 

I know you haven't mentioned these, but raceline rl7 their among my favorite wheels, make the cars look sweet but aggressive looking IMO. few pics attached

 

I like it on the diamond rs7s. I'd love a set

 

+1 worst wheel ever made

 

i think old style compomotive mo's would look sweet on an s1...never seen it done before
