Two other reason for going Rota. If I do knacker one they are in plentiful supply so it will be easy to replace, and also that Julian at Rare Rims owes me some major discount ;)

I have pretty much made up my mind to go with Rota (almost all the other wheels I looked at including Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's have too aggressive offsets :() but I wanted to know there another alternative.

Thanks for looking but black wheels don't really do it for me, even though I have a set of black Kosei's :lol:

Are 16s too small? These are on civic life for only £350!! Description: Here we have my Championship White Rota Spec R alloys for sale, 16x7, ET.45, 4x114.3. Wrapped in the famous Hankook Ventus R-S2 tyre (215/45/16), which have covered very little miles since being fitted.
 
The wheels themselves had only been on the car about 6 months before being removed, all 4 are 100% true, with absolutely no kerbing or any other damage
