    I like them both, but love the new ones!
    You need some decent tyre gel to stop the tyres looking grey though

                yeah there 18"

                think i need to tweek the tyre pressures on the 18" the it feels nicer on the origional 16" rims

                  ive still got the origionals, and had just put a set of Vredstein Ultrak tyres on them, might have to get rid of the CH's put the 16"s back on

                      Nice wheels.

                      New wheels transform the car to the positive, but it will be less comfortable with 18s.

                      Too soon to change them, give them longer to grow on you and play around with tyre pressures.

                      just MHO. HTH

                      When you say Koni adjustable, do you mean adjustable off the car, or turn a knob on the shock to adjust?

                      Regards.

                        Wheels are supposed to be silver see.. That why you like the old ones, 16s are far more comfortable too eh? I bet the steering is loads pointier though

                              Like the new wheels - just wish they were silver though...

                              IMO - black wheels only suit a few cars. Doesn't look 'right' to me on a Green S2 - hard to say why - very subjective this stylee stuff. If it floats *your* boat then sail away...
