Wink 15" softlines on a s2

Would 15" softline's look ok a series 2??? Have had 17"s before and they dont drive right imo 15"s and 16"s are better imo at the moment i have standard rims on but have always liked the look of softlines, opinions please

15" softlines just look toss dude, nowhere near as cool looking as the 17" version, worlds apart!

15s can look cool, just not softlines, they bargain basement budget looking banger spec!

got a set on my other rst voodoo 1's, and i really dont like them, but its your car m8 and its your opinion that counts, dont understand why RSandy doesn't like 15" softline's though!!!!! 17"s do look better but they dont drive better on a rst imo

The only 15" rims I would go for are the orignal alloys if not 17's all the way the bigger the better they look.

i agree with above, only 15s to go on an RST are original wheels

however i share your pain, mine is horrendous to drive with the 17s on!!

15" softlines look the tits on a s2,especially mercury grey cars,or even better a set of mondeo 16" cosworth style wheels.if you are on a budget,if not there are nicer wheels out there but if you want them to go straight on then the softlines will be the 1!
