Having just purchased and fitted Rota Torques, My first choice was the force, however I was informed by the retailer that the offset wouldnt fit correctly on the S (something to do with wheel/tyre combo protruding beyond the bodywork, therefore MOT failure??) looking at CB's they appear to be fine!

still, I love my Bronze Rota torques

Not sure I agree with that, the front ones look to be quite far out to me...


I like the black ones best too, shame you'd have to get quite low offsets to get the concaved models..

The fitment I plan to get is identical to the Rota Grids I currently have.

No issues with rubbing.

I went for the Bronze ones which apparently look steel grey to most people anyway.

As I said WF, they 'appear' to look fine in CBs last piccie, I must admit they do look like they protrude from the body work, especially the fronts. However they do look great

thats why I eventually went for the torques as I knew there would be no potential offset issues
