Actually, I rather like these ones 
Get some centre caps on em, and a tad lower and it'll look spot on - cos the spokes are flat on these wheels and thats what S1's need, hence why Voodoo's look ace
On the other hand - EsCos rims do look good on S1's, but still stick out too far
And I think 3dr rims are fooking HORRIFIC on S1's - don't suit em at all IMO.....
Not keen on the 5spoke MO anyway, but as with 3dr rims - do not suit at all (have seen 6 spoke MO's in white on one and did look the bollox
)
Raceline RL7's in white work VERY well ,as do the Super T's (but only in 17" and I don't like 17s cos they screw up your handling) and the best Ford wheel (other than std ) is the Mondeo RS Option "Softline" RS 7 spoke in 17" again....
Still - I was thinking this all over a while ago and when it boils down to it - no other wheel apart from the std 15" 7spoke actually looks "at home" on the S1 so std it is (for me)

need i say anymore? Think its Daves...aka vroom ptshhh
IMO 3dr alloys are the worst alloys ford have made along side clovers...so to put em on a s1 would be fatal

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
not sure if i'm right, but it says pu and ford fitting. i know they share PCD, but don't pug wheels stick out further? by a fair bit if i remember? did he say they came from a pug or not? might be worth checking...
