Default What wheels would look good on a Mk6 RS2000??

And im not all that well up on makes so any pics would be appreciated, playing with the idea of selling the cossie and keeping the RS2k for a year, its proper mint best car ive ever had condition wise, and its reliable as fook, and costs me next to nothing compared to the cossie, only thing i dont like about it is its standard, so looking at getting a nice set of rims and springs on her

Ideas please, i had an idea of some but cant find a pic any where...will post it if i find it

im a big believer in staying with manufacturer alloys. cheap to buy and some look real nice i had the 16in cossie style rims on my escort gti piked them up for 180 with tyres and they look as fook especially if your lowering it too the car does sit real nice and looks like it was built that way

Kim those wheels are disgusting and would look horrid IMO and they look cheap!!

The best ones on mk5/6 rs2000 has gotta be multi spokes heres a couple of pics, ok not an rs2000 but a gti which is almost identical looking:



And some rs7 spokes, agian on a gti:

Think they do go on but may catch at the rear and the front on full lock? also spacers might be needed but then it wouldnt look very good i dont think, better off with the mondeo 16s, cant tell the difference from a distance.

What about MK1 Focus rims, you can get them in 16" if you want a slightly larger wheel. Probably loads of sets about to and not that expensive I would imagine.

I don't have any pics but I have seen other cars with them on and thought they looked quite good.

I am sure some Photoshop guru could knock up a picture if you want.
