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.

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.
