Well, the website states it's available in 5 stud so that's a good start. :good: But you need to contact them and ask if it comes in 5x100, which is the Liberty stud pattern.

I was looking through the magazine, Redline, and the UK gets a lot of nice looking wheels not available here. Sux for us. But it looks like matte black is the next big rage.

Hey what about these from Tempe Tyres? Close to the same design but local market:

Haha. That's with tires as well on a 18" so it's not too terrible. Under $1k? Where at? I have a few friends looking for wheels as well.

For 17's or 18's? I'd say between $150 - $350, depending on what brand you're after. 215/45-17 or 225/40-18. You're running 16's now aren't you on the 2.0 N/A?

18's all the way! Great balance between comfortable ride and handling while still giving you great looks!

Simon your looking at spending about $1k on top of your wheel price for tyres. Say $1k for wheels, plus who knows $600 for delivery to Oz.

That Tempe deal looks pretty good, I found them the other night and thought they looked ok.

Am I right in saying you have a Regal blue GT? I have done quick dodgy 2 min chop of some Tempe "Warwick Premium fin" wheels onto my car (Don't laugh it was a rush job :wink: ) $2400 in 19's with tyres.
