Lenso Rs5 is a very nice wheel but i think they suit jap style cars.  :undecided: Everyone has different opinions tho!
What colour is your car?
I got set of 15 inch (195/50/15) black with a polished dish and rim, my car is black so i think the colour goes nicely.........Come to think of it, my wheels are off a 1980's Honda Civic limited Edition!!!  :embarassed: Cant get anymore jap than that!  :rolleyes:
I LOVE THE SOUND OF CARBS IN THE MORNING

not sure what the lenso's look like but asking what wheels suit mk2's is like asking how long a piece of string is!! :laugh: there are soooo many but in general stick to 15's maybe 16's and at the moment people are going for standard-ish style with a bit of a twist. go to www.dubmodder.com to try out loads of popular wheels on your car.

i spent a long time searching for wheels within my budget, and ended up with these

they are 16 inch X 7 momo GTR with 195 45 16 on
cost me 500 from here(without tyres):

excellent service, the only problem is the fact that the spoke sticks out about 3mm from the rim so i have to be careful when parking.
if you want to look close go to a local halfords, they normally stock momo but are well OTT prices.
lowered 30 mm as well.
also added 8mm rear wheel spacers which looks better(not in these pics), more pics available if your interested.
HTH

and got me tyres here: nankang which are not great, but i havent had any problems so far.
