Classical studies of accreting white dwarfs have assumed spherical symmetry. However, it is believed that in close binary systems the transfered matter carries angular momentum to spin up the accreting star. Here, we present preliminary results of CO white dwarf models which accrete helium rich matter with effects of rotation considered, in the context of the Sub-Chandrasekhar mass scenario for Type Ia supernovae.
