im currently reading 'the story' in my breaks!

I agree with you. love the colour cus i got one to. but i think its easier to find some new wheels. Dont really know any for your plan, im sure they need to be light and standard size but id look for silver. like you say its in the contrast that wheels work best, for me anyhow. Maybe conside white for a race look, slick them up and get another set in for normal use. Dont you have a spare set as well? maybe its time for an auction

You seem to be trying hard with your S moding, dont compromise

I like your thinking!
These Gunmetal ones are Volks CE28N, about the lightest alloys with a good fit for the S.
Hence why I'm keen to keep them. My only issue is monochromatic

I do have the OEM 17" that came off and a set of very light 18" that are Silver. They look at lot better on the car, but I'm not sure I want to make the ride any harder after fitting the Nitron coilovers!

Impressive. I admire the engineering side but im no fan of the looks.

I have alway been a fan of a classy BBS multi spoke wheel! not sure many folk have gone for this type of wheel on the S.

The BBS LM is a good looking wheel on the S.
Not that light and I hate cleaning that style wheel!!

No seriously, IMHO the best colour combination...

Grey on grey is not as p.i.m.p. as black with black AND the silver does lift the Moonrock nicely...
