Got a set of new rims for my S2 Coupe
The rims are RH ZW1 Cup split rims in the size 9x17 with 25mm adaptor plates all around.
They are highgloss polished all over and the bolts are, according to previous owner, 24K gold plated.
I am just crazy about these babys, and the way they look on the car, especially the wide edge looks way cool to me, and when the sun is out the sparkle like mad.
Also the 235/40-17 tyres makes it look very wide, it need to be lowered though, but somewhere between buying the car, rims and pooring gas on it, i ran out of money, so that will have to wait a while.
The car handles beautyfully on the wide tyres however, tons and tons of grip.

I dunno about the 24k fasteners but if the price was right...
nice lookers tho! I'm amazed you could tuck a 9" wide wheel in there with any thickness spacers or lack thereof. Then to have it appear so "under" the fender lip. May hats off to whomever figured this one out!
But you're right it needs lowered in a big, BIG way. I'd live on PB&J sandwiches til I could afford that modification. You do have peanut butter over there dont you? And you probably get better/fresher lingenberry jelly than I can buy in the U.S. ;-)

Offset is 47 i think...
thats also one of the things i was very happy about, they way the go all the way to the fender lip and make it look really wide :-)
The 24K bolts maybe a little to "bling" but the look is growing on me everytime i look at the car, so think im going to give it thumps up.
It's going to be lowered, only thing im afraid of, is that it will be very stiff to drive in.
Actually kind of like the original suspension setup.
Firm, but still comfortable.
