Default Alloy Wheels

Thought I would see if anyone else has any ideas...

I've been looking for some new wheels for a while now, currently have the oem 16"s but I think the later 17"s look a lot better. Trouble is people want an awful lot for these wheels second hand, and yes I'm aware how much they cost new before you tell me!

I've since been trying to find an alternative that will fit the S, look good, are reasonably light and not cost the earth.

Therefore things like Prodrive or Volk wheels are out as there's no way I can afford to pay

This has been done so many times try a search and read the FAQ.

You wont get many replys unless your asking specific questions. The expensive 17's are probley the best option and are cheep compared to sourcing new wheels and rubber in the correct offsets!

So are there any options that I have missed? I think something with 7+ spokes seems to look best on the S. ?
Is Mugen888 still selling his 7-spokes? Look on the For Sale forum.

Maybe you are parked on something but it looks like you still have the back of the car jacked up!
