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?

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

Ha you want to sell the g-forces pal

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?"

Right, I've got a little bit of money burning a hole in my pocket and I don't know what to buy next. Any suggestions? My list contains:

Front lip
Zunsport upper grille to match the lower one Rob is sending me (albeit I'd have to paint it black)
Hella super tone horns
Lowering springs (still considering whether my local roads will be bearable afterwards)
Changing front pads as the aztec performance kevlar ones are awful

I'm sure there will be several different answers but what order would you do things in?

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

Cheers guys, looking at it and robs the et35 seems to fill them that little more over the et48

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