Managed to get round to putting the new Rota alloys on this weekend, despite being unbelievably hungover.

I wasn't sure I was going to like them, but now they are on I feel like I made the right decision in getting them. I know they won't be to everyone's taste, and I do like my OEM rims so I have decided to keep them as well, and change back if I get bored.

Still not happy with the gap between tire and arch though, so lowering springs next on the agenda. If anyone can suggest a sensible drop (mm or inches) it would be appreciated. The front seems lower than the back.

Calipers need some painting work as well, as they are more noticable behind the rim

At the risk of getting carried away LOL

Just ordered lowering springs and S2000 caliper stickers

Should hopefully have all work done within a couple of weeks, will post more pics once ride height is sorted and my s2000 is no longer an all roader

Looking good there, do reckon you'd have to do some arch work to get them to fit without rubbing mate
