Default 15" TSW Venoms

I've been offered a set of these for a steal - i know people either love them or hate them, and i've always wanted a set. I want a set of dated wheels, and the car did at one point in it's life wear a set although i don't know what size.

Will 15" look crap on an S2 and should i keep looking for 16s or 17s?

That's what I was thinking Ross, 17s looked massive back I. The day and I think 16s would be a nice mix of looks and handling so 15s would be too small.

I'll keep looking I think

Spotted a couple of cars at ford fair today wearing Venoms, they did look pretty small.

16" or 17" FTW

They are dated, stick to a nice set 17's there's a lot of choice out there just find the right ones that suit the car.

venoms lol. funny thing is comps do their version that look like venoms. Only pull it off cos it has a comp badge instead of tsw. Only period wheels would suit imo are arrows or voodoos azevs etc.

15s or 16s will look gash. 17s, they'll look gash too.
