I got rota forces on mine a few weeks ago, look amazing. I woud recommend them, also the price difference is a big consideration.

Hi eggy,

I've been looking at Advan RS wheels for my classic for a while now. The size I need, 18*7.5, +48 isn't available in the UK so have to import. The pound depreciation hasn't helped to make it cheaper.

I can get 18*8, +45 in the UK and these also fit but cost £500 per corner.

I have put buying them on the back burner, but if you're interested and we can find any additional interest, i am happy to speak to some suppliers about a possible group buy.

Rota are the nearest copies.

cheers
