    Jaaps car has gregs in 18"
    I''m correcting myself your right!

    But Jaaps has the S4 style which weren't on the S8, on Jaaps (S4) the spoke ends are a different style, they fork up and out. Where as the S6/S8 ones dont fork they curve in.

    But there is an 18" version.

          ******, MartinJS is right, i confused Jaaps car with DJ-Roy's
          Dj-Roy has the S4 and Jaap the S8 new style

              Jaaps is the only S2 i have seen with those wheels fitted, they do look nice.
              I think he's sold it now.

                Ebay Link guys, they do look good when used with the standard S2 centre cap!

                Would need 8-12mm spacers to fit them correctly.

                  I'm a big fan of the older, softer 18s, like yours Jamo? (Same as martinjs)

                  They play funny tricks with the proportions of an S2 cos they look identical to the 16s but beef the car up and make the proportions look a lot better. Standard S2 centre caps also work better as they have a slight dish on the older 18s whereas the newer ones are flat and somehow contradict the slightly curved flanks of the coupe IMO.

                  Just need MASSIVE brakes to make it look even cooler!

                    No where near the arches, even on severe dips bumps, but yes, still stock suspension.

                    Went to austria, fully loaded up boot and 4 people and still fine, so im guess lowered should also be ok.

                    BTW, Jamo may be right about ET30, the inside of the rear tyres is very very close to the cups the springs sit in!
