Before you go that route, consider shipping costs. A set of 18" cast wheels from my warehouse in GA to So Cal is about $100. From Europe...I don't even want to know.

I wouldn't want to buy them if they don't have a USA distributor. I just find it odd...ship only to the UK. I thought we lived in a GLOBAL society? LOL

Well I found a couple of USA sites that have them on their site, but no way to BUY them, That is ODD. But I sent out some emails. That's just my luck. Finally find some I love, that actually fit, and I can't buy them. LMFAO.

Grrr...still on the hunt...nothing back on any that I've emailed about...guess they don't need the $. Anyway...thinking about what Rayth said...how about 17's on front and 18's on rear? Which of these would bring me closest to OEM without needing spacers?

I'm pretty sure the 17's won't clear the OEM brakes ......

Ah I see, thanks Alaxfire. I guess the 18's have it. I had no idea it was so hard to find white wheels for this car, lol. Painting my OEM's is starting to sound better and better, LOL.

I was thinking that the other day.. as many members here that have gone to custom wheels.. a thread dedicated to the setup would be very helpful. A person could probably dedicate 3-4 days of thread browsing and compile one.. But it would be so much easier if people would just chime in with what they have.

These are custom made to fit your car...takes 4 to 6 weeks minimum to get them made, then another 2 weeks for shipping.
