Series 2 wheels on a series 1?
Can you put Series 2 wheels on a Series 1? I really like the newer stock wheels compared to the series 1 wheels is it possible to throw them on my 04?

The 18" ones are the same size, while the 19" R3 ones are also compatible.
My S2 actually came with S1 18" stock wheels. I now use them for winter tires.

I got a set on eBay. Not the best idea, really, since remanufactured wheels can hide some problems they had before being remanufactured.
No problems so far, though. I believe they were US$400~500 for one.

If you want to go fast without changing out the brake calipers, 17" ones are the best. If you have the early "base auto", you can go 16"(they come with 16" wheels from the factory, actually).
18" is a good compromise between aesthetics and practicality(performance, gas mileage, etc.).
19" is for blings only for the most part unless you go forged, which is big money. A brand new R3 wheel can cost about US$1000+ nowadays each and even used ones in good conditions can cost a good amount of money.
And even with forged wheels, there are more mass towards the outside of the wheels, which increase their rotational inertia, which translates to less acceleration and even crappier fuel economy.
