I think they are pretty nice. Their offset is +25 so they would probably stick out a bit from the fenders, but I think they look damn good. Good price, too.

18x9.5" They weight 25 lbs each so they are pretty much the same weight as stock, but an inch wider.

They're not listed as compatible for our cars. Do you know they will fit? Discount Tyre Direct has great pricing but they only show 17" and 18" wheels for our cars. Why not 19"????

The wheel fitment system they use is very "strict" i guess you would call it. They have hundreds of rims that would fit, but they are just to different from the stock wheel to guarantee fitment and they dont want to try every wheel on every car.

Same reason they dont list any 15's for the VR4/TT. Some of them can clear the stock brakes but they dont have the time to test 300 different wheels to see if it will work or not.

Yeah I figured as much but it's just annoying. I'm in the lookout for new wheels and it will prob be cheaper to buy in the states and ship them over to Australia. But so many wheels I like aren't listed for our cars. Gives me the shits.

They look rather cool. :) I have 18x9 with 35 mm offset, and those are just outside the point of being flush to where it's ok. They stick out a little still, so yours will stick out I perceive more like an inch and a half from the fender line, because of the extra wheel width. I can send you a link to some length view pictures from me and other members for comparison if you like.
