Which wheels for my S2?? it doing my head in.
I have 2 sets of wheels to choose from but I can't make my mind up as I like both but one set needs to go.
TSW EVO Big Deeps
0r Mondeo 16's (I know the tyres are wrong I'll sort them if they stay)

I think there are nicer wheels for a S2 but if I had to chose I'd have the mondeo 16's on 195 tyres

i would hunt for a set of mk5-6 RS200 5spokes but if it really had to be between them i would go for the mondi wheels

I totally agree but I'm on a budget and trying to work with what I have.
Ultimately I'm looking for original tsw evos in 17's.

I know where your coming from but the fact that the spokes face different ways on each side has always done my head in.

Stick to the mondeo wheels the big deeps look to jazzy and spoil the look of the car IMO

I have always thought the mondo wheels look like a poor mans wheelon a series 2. I had supper legra 16 x 8,s wich were my favourite out of all the wheels I tried over the years, but not easy on a budget. Standard over mondo,s all day long

They go for a lot of money, money that I don't have.
However, I've given up. The Mondy wheels and TSW's are going to be sold. I dug the original wheels out that the last owner gave me and after a Tcut and polish they are remarkable good condition.
Going to run those for a bit. They actually look ok. I think them having a shine and looking minty help.
Thanks for the comments though.

Not a better wheel for a graphite s2 than softlines imo, red one 4x4 saph wheels (shark tooth?) white one diamond cut rs7s and a black one should have diamond cut standards with black inserts,

None of the above if money is tight,
Buy the lightest wheels you can for your budget, and leave the rest for the show offs.

Try and get yourself some 16x7's, it'll be like the same difference again.
