Default what wheels for an S2??

my mate is about to put some 16s onto his S2 which is lowered 30mm.

& i have an interest in this too as the car will be mine next spring!

in your opinion what are the best 16s you can get? any pics would be great!

he looked into getting rs seven spokes - but the work needed to fit them without rubbing has ruled out most 17s!

i love these but in diff colour for a grey S2

any other ideas?

Ugly wheels if you ask 99% of the people on here!!

They are Team Dynamics Pro Race 2. I got them because they are VERY light!!

think people only call them ugly because the previous wheels looked the tits!

but its no bad thing to sacrifice looks for performance when you have a car like yours!

if u dont go so low u might be ok, (mines 40mm drop) also if u use 205/45/16 tyres instead of 215/45/16 u'd be better off.

some black/anthracite TSW imolas if you can find some

look better than superTs in that size id say.


quite like the sparco rally type ones aswell. think they would look good.

or black mondeo Si wheels... just basically black on a grey car I think!

anything on a red one... white on a black one... and white on a white one!

youd be better off using 205 '40' 16s as these go straight on

also 195 45 16s.... or even 195 40 16s... 16s will fit piece of pi55 jus tget rigth tyres
