Loon can you back up your statement?

Cheers
I think they are too big because they'll look stupid/out of proportion with the car (IMO).

Haroon is correct in that all BBS forged wheels are made in Japan, the cast wheels are made in Germany.

You don't need to convince me but you've made a statement that I doubt you have anything to back it up with.

Chris's comment is his opinion which is fine, no issues there.

As you're aware, as was I, they're forged wheels the barrels are very light, an extra inch on each wheel is not going to hinder performance in a noticeable way. Infact I believe it's only a 250gram difference between a 8/9 setup and a 9/10 setup. The offsets mean the wheels sit in exactly the same place as my current wheels in relation to the arch.

So Loon, why are they to big?

And just incase you didnt know, your old LMs sat 2mm further inwards than these 10s would, 2mm is not a difference worth worrying about is it

Rob, last I saw , you were turning your S2000 into a track car - is that still the case, as that has a bearing on which wheels to get I'd have thought?

FWIW, IMO, the white wheels are a lot less worse than those BBS.

Still the plan, I think my Geo is perfect to run slicks which I can get cheap as we run a ascari with the correct sizes. So I'll buy another set of wheels to run those with!

I much prefer the look of your Works mate. I think the BBS do nothing for the visual aspect of the car. Sorry Of course thats just my opinion.

Ah form over function. Awesome is subjective.

In that case get the white ones.

I'd say go for the LMs, your getting overfenders anyway no? so they'll fit perfect plus more rubber on the track can't be that bad!
