Default Volkalikes?

Haven't even picked up the car and already trying to source rims!

The car is dark blue, and like msisleman, I fancy bronze or dark grey alloys.

(I REALLY want genuine BBS LMs but they are waaaaaaaaaay out of budget.)

My faves so far are Volk TE37



...but they are £500+ each

And Enkei RPF1s are tasty, and come in lots of colours



...but still silly money.

So - looking for 17"ers, in correct S2K fitment, not heavy, around £700, happy for second hand in good nick, similar to any of the above

Any ideas chaps?

The problem with the Volk look a like wheels from rota (the grids) is the offset, its hard to find wheels with the correct offset for the s2000.

Flippin'eck Tucker! Do you ever keep wheels once you've re-furbed them?
