I never really had a problem with the S2000 - until I bought a 911 Targa and saw them compared side by side.

I don't have a problem with the S2000 design but they really aren't for the Cheshire set.

theres nothing wrong with the standard 17" rims, so if your gonna change, why not go for some thing bigger! ive put 18s on mine and it looks sweet, each to theyre own though.
What did you do with the 17's?

I would never increase the wheel size for the sake of appearance and at the cost of ride and handling

So I would vote for stock

But if 'filling the arches' is a big concern

And I have some sympathy with this view

Then I'd drop the height before increasing the wheel size

Stock 16s for me. I actually think that the original 5 spoke design is very nice

17'' Volks CE28N look . My current 18'' are CE28 replicas, look very nice, but the offsets are a bit high, so they will be replaced probably by 17'' original CE28s. My vote went to 17s BTW

16" OEMs for me.

I tend to work on the basis that a highly trainined team of Japanese Honda engineers knows more than I do about what is right and what's not for optimising the set up ..............

I know OEM is great but there is better... much much better..

I.E 5zigen GN+ only half the weight of an OEM rim and available in the exact same sizes.

Off the back of this poll I will order in loads of 17s, a couple of sets of 18s and 16s and maybe one set of 19s or the 20" 5zigen Hyper ZR in Chrome just to see how mad they will look (Bling only of course)

Thanks all for your opinions.
