Interested in a set of four 3.0R-B 18" wheels?

As an option, I mean, I'm after $400 for the full set and a replacement wheel might cost that much... plus it's in Melbourne too...

Yeah, I cracked one hitting a kerb on my old car

so I know the pain of having three wheels.

You cant use the spare til you get new wheels?
Saves you money.

Seriously contemplate buying the set of four 18" 3RB wheels I have... I'm only after $400 for it, with tyres, so you will have three full-sized spares

Oh possibly, have you got heritage or safety pack?? Funny that they would give you a dinky wheel for 'safety pack'

I have a basic manual 2.5i as well (not safety, heritage, premium).
But I got a full size spare as well, has bridgestone potenza rubber on it too =)
