Rota's are about your best choice and Maggy in RTS can sort you a good price, as well as Hixxy's mine has the GTR which is the five spoke equivalent - I know it's a bug and their white, but at least you can get an idea about the wheels

Thanks M444GY but I live in Dublin so no point in me paying Sterling for a set of wheels. Cost more with currency conversion.

Thanks to everybody for the help so far. Kind of swaying towards a set of Milleniums in gold at the moment but also like the Rota Grid and Boost.

OK was in my local shop today getting a price on these and the owner thinks the 18 * 8.5 ET44 would need arch work on a GC8 as these are more suited to the New Age. I really just want fit and forget package.
