I'm in my 30's as of tomorrow so comfort is back on the list lol. Might try a set and see how I get on.
Rota force, sure that's what rob has fitted?

Fitted my facelift front end this evening, she's due back to the bodyshop probs next week for a touch more paintwork & camera work on it
They look great in white anyway but now it just looks stunning

Would a slightly narrower wheel make a huge difference say a 8 or 8.5"

Don't think slightly narrower would be an issue. Just get a slightly lower offset than 35 to fill out the arch & you'll be fine mate
The Rotas will be up for grabs as soon as the new ones are available.

Pics again please to compare with those above^^
I was told the "Rota Force Drift" have the deepest concave, and The "Rota Force" are more flat. No mention of "Rota G-Force?"

Cool - I've got my finger on the trigger for a front lip. I've mailed mark at ht autos asking the lead time on it. Want to also buy the horns.
I bought these yesterday too. Arrived today to see what they look like on my grey 17s

Would a 8" alloy sit in to much on a et48? Compared to the 8.5"
