Daym, why does that car look so HOT?
Some more before and afters....
Car was crashed at a track event. Also a keen eye may have picked up that it's not actually berlina black. The colour is from the MB range and is called something like Obsidian black. Top secret front bar, J's bonnet, GP sports sides and GT1 wheels. Can't recall the exact engine mods but he has a few

He purchased the wheels despite my advice too

if you are keen on the wheels then you should spend extra, get wheels with correct offsets, widths and tyres of correct width ratio. Failure to do so may enhance the snap oversteer characteristrics of the s2k.

Hotchoc: - That is good advice.
If you like white wheels I suggest you take a trip to Stuckeys in Brunswick and have a look at the Compomotive range. They make nice light white wheels in the correct sizes & offsets.

Not that it should concern you, but I'm not a big fan of white wheels on black myself I prefer more darker wheels like gunmetal. Actually a user in the US called 2000GT powdercoated his 04 rims in a black chrome colour and they look really hot
