I've be looking at the same options for a while, presumably you are aware of the difference in price between the two as I found the advans are nearly double the rotas?

Advan RS are the mutts nut in my opinion, but a bit pricey. Rota Force are very similar and cost less too. Failing that, try Dare Drift RS too, they also look similar.

white looked better on the above^^ youve taken away the lines of a really nice wheel by going too dark on colour.

Stevesbluewrx - what's your mate's blue blob lowered on, just springs? (looks good - can't wait to get mine dropped and to shed my wing
You sure those are torques Steve - as stevie1982 mentioned, they look identical to my gforces.

You may find the Dare rims look better in a different colour, they also come in bronze. Also by changing to a lower offset and wider rim, this can change how a wheel looks. eg, a lower offset will have a deeper dish. But if you're going for the advan look, nothings gona beat it. Have a look here www.nasioc.com/ as the yanks go mad for them. Theres a thread somewhere on there full of Advans and Rotas. But can't find it just now.

I was thinking along the same lines as you for rims but went with these in the end, and am well happy now. They are Ultralite G-Grids.

These (CE28's) are the sweetest wheels out there IMO, just couldn't afford them at the time when I was looking (high Yen and low pound):

Advans I believe. Not my car. Hope the owner doesnt mind. But it is one of the best looking WR Blues out there.

10 spokers seem to be popular, luv those rota g-forces. Might get some. Ideally I would get Advan RS's, they are pure sex, but way too expensive. 1.5-2K a set, you could get a nice classic scoob for that.

CE28's mmm pricey to lol.

Make sure you get the correct offset now. Don't want to affect the handling
