        That's what I thought it was going to be, around the $20 mark I would be happy to pay. Now to find a place that won't damage either set of my rims, otherwise there will be heads rolling lol.

        Put the 235/35R19's up against the car today, all up the car is only going to gain an extra 10mm in height and 5mm between the panel and the wheel...so hopefully it will look ok until I get coilovers some time next year

          Actually when I had my 19's fitted, the wheel arch space seemed slightly reduced and looked better. But lowering definitely completes it.

            Recieved the rims today! Woohoo!

            On the downside of things, I had to pay more money then expected for a customs broker as I didn't realise it wasn't a direct delivery to my door - wasn't very happy...added $300 to the price of the rims! Can't do much about that now though.

            Checked one of the rims so far and looks good, finish looks pretty nice and can't wait to fit them up! So far, I've heard a fair few good reviews about VMR rims so hopefully I have the same experience!

            Pictures up when I get them mounted

                I think you may have widened the track just a little too much mate 

                    Do the Octavia's have Rubber or Metal valve stems?

                    My Golfs are rubber, but I haven't received my Octavia yet.
