Post I am planning in purchasing new shoes 4 my S2k :)

I found these wheels at ebay but I am not sure about the brand "STERN WHEEL" but I love the way the rims look. The other one is a rota wheels but before I got crazy expending my money I will like the opinion of everyone about this rims and makers. Also if anybody knows a great spot where I can get some good rims with good pricess. I will extremelly I appreciated.

Not sure what wheels you have on the car now... but I would recommend either getting ap2 wheels (im guessing you have an ap1?) or saving a little more money and getting a higher quality rim.
Or even some einkiis (not sure if I spelled that right) They dont have the best offsets, but close enough and are very high quality for less than 1k shipped.

Try wheelsnext. I got my rims there and if you google TORK IMAGINES, you can see what i have. package deal was like around 1200 shipped

I love my rims, but they are heavy but i wanted show when i got them. They are the 18X8 fronts and 18X9 rears. I had to roll my fenders though =/ and to be honest.. like the gentlemen said before... i wish i still had my AP2 V1's

People are giving away volks in the for sale section, I would rather pick-up a set of used volks or works then some cheap stuff. I do agree with Cale about the enki's rfp1's I believe, they look great they are light and there cheap.

Rotas are HEAVY - Heavy wheels = slow car....

Why not some RPF1's? Great light wheel, still a low low price.

I recommend tire rack all the way. I've searched extensively when buying my wheels and tires and for the past 3 times tire rack always came out as the best deal. You may save money on the wheels or tires from elsewhere, but when you add in Hunter Road Force Mounting and Balancing, free hubcentric spacers and spline drive lug nuts, you're getting a better deal from the tire rack

btw i got the RPF1's in 17" from them
