i second all of that. the car looks awesome, but i would definitely suggest adding some wheels to complete the look. not downing your work so far, it looks friggin' bad ass, but i think that any car with a body kit needs some wheels to match.

nah dude, the stock 16s are sick IMO! on a lowered Focus they look great, the S2 rims are even nicer. ..!

if anything, powdercoat the rims, anthracite maybe white, would cost $150, no more than $250 for sure. i was quoted $180 for stcok 16s, to do em anthracite

how about these? Kosei K1 Racing in Anthracite. they're $189 for 17X7.5 and $159 for 16X7.5. the 7.5 width would look real good with the body kit since it's a little wider. the only thing i would check into would be getting rid of the writing and hopefully the stupid valve stem.

Hey Vince keep your S2 wheels, they are the easiest wheels to keep clean with those black painted areas. Get a good set of tires in 205/50 or even a 205/45 might look good with your drop. Besides you gotta keep something so people know it was an S2

nice!! one question how the heck did you do that to your old car??? looks like you drove over someones trunk.
PhocusOnMyB20CRVTEC you have to have wheels made for hubcaps so for him it isn't as cheap as you think.

Well you know those on ramps that you take to get on the freeway..well the speed limit for this one was 20mph I thought it said 80mph..whooops..damn that stock suspension!! To make it worse when my car was skidding on two wheels I paniced (yes stoopid) and slammed the crap out of the breaks. I bounced off the gaurd rail a total of 4 times from one side across to the other and then my rear tires blew up so that sent me flipping straight into the guard rail once more and i was hanging off a cliff..once I was able to open me eyes(went into shock) I could only see dirt out the window but I could see the huge ass drop that was awaiting me if it hadnt been for the gaurd rail..drive safe ppl, luckily I was able to walk out, well should I say got dragged out the window with no injuries except mental. That wont be the case very often as the police had body bags in there hands when I was pulled out..sooo be saffee!!

You can order them in the focus bolt pattern. And Volk says you shouldnt drill the TE37s, they will effect the integrity of the rim.
