    Hmmm the bronze does go well with the black!

    I think I will be going with the bronze to be honest, I should hopefully be ordering them at the end of the month so will get a pic on here once they are on.

    I'm stuck between Rota Force in either bronze or white or team dynamic pro race 3s in white

    They will be going on a black 6r gti, I reckon the bronze would look pretty sweet but what do you guys reckon?

    Here are the bronze rotas

    I owned a set of Rota Gforce and i'd say go with team dynamics and maybe get them sprayed bronze instead.

    There's a set of 17" 5x100 Advan RS (which is what the Rota G force are a copy of) for sale on ebay for around the same price as a new set of Rota's.

    If you're still keen on white and thinking 18inch... I came across these. Possibly require 3mm spacers. Fook...just realised you're in the UK.

    What makes you think that? I didn't think anybody else copied Advan RS's, and that's a pretty full on copy if they are

    Oh yeah, there are certainly copies around. A colleague of mine is running reps of these on his DC5 Teg.

    My missus Polo TSI is running a real set (there's a pic in the ride height thread), but besides that, the colour looks a bit off, the style of spokes as well looks different. But a couple of big differences is the "Japan Made" stamp which doesn't exists on the real thing, and also the wheel spec is not an official Advan RS spec i.e. you can't get that offset/width combo from Yokohama factory.

    The Advan RS are on run out at the moment as well from Japan. So, if you're interested in the real deal, get in quick!

    However, the Advan RZ does have "Japan Made" stamped on the wheel, but still not in the wheel spec specified.

    Yeah i think you are right there, i'm not too familiar with the original Advan RS or RZ specs, but now that you've said it and i had a better look they definitely are the RZ model or copies of
