Being that the dollar is so weak and Euro is strong you should buy from the states and ship it over there.

You'll probably get a better selection.

You're in UK so what's up with

BBS
OZ

and all the other dope Euro wheels that have to be out there?

PM me your budget for wheels in USD$$$$ along with a style of wheel you like. I'll do the math and see if there's anything we can find for ya.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Ne...em160223367767
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Su...em180229806861
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-DR...em300212964098
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Bl...em290220229510
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Ch...em290220229576 cool
but....i dont want a heavy **** and i want to put on them my potenza 225.45.18 and i know that shipping cost $$$ and tax on top!! so cool rims for a 1200$ will end up with 2000$ if not more

Hi, i recommend this site: http://www.madmotors.co.uk/catalog/

I got my 18" from there for the half of price in compare to Finland price.

I ordered the Finichi Rimini Lip-alloys:

http://www.finichi.com/wheels_rimini.php




18" fitted to my car:


http://www.madmotors.co.uk/catalog/p...ducts_id=21204

In that pic you can see what lip-alloys look's like with original size 225/45/18 tires.
The rims looks small to me!

Right after that picture was taken i swapped those rims to my winter-tires 225/40/18. That combination looks better (sorry, no pic) because the tire isn't so thick.

If you want rims with "lip-look" i higly recommend that you get 19" !!


Sorry about my bad english, im from Finland...
