And I'm pretty sure they're currently on special from TireRack for just over 100US each

damn, that's pretty good! I was expecting, be OZ, they'd be silly expensive!

Yeah I know, but still ... its just soooo hard finding wheels domestically in 5x100

EDIT: Baaaaaack on topic:

... ****! Am planning on ordering from tirerack soon, could have saved a bundle!

Oh well, less than $300AUD per wheel, still isnt anywhere near as brutal as local pricing!

Lol, I think it's something stupid like 800-1200 a wheel? I may be wrong but that's what I remember..

dude, that black car nearly made me commit to doing the same to mine in white..

What, you mean make it look like an amputee thanks to having no mirrors? And no front or side turn signals would make it massively illegal. The po-po would have FUN with you!

Yeah OZ rims locally are about 1k per rim. Same with BBS.

I'd hope that we do, I want to be that good one day!

I love the red one too. Oh mah gawwwwwwd.

That brown 4 door is my current inspiration. 4 doors are harder to make look good I reckon, but damn that pulls it all off! Silver pin stripe looks rad aswell, something I wanna have a go at but in a different colour. Vento/Jetta front end works so well and squares it all off real well too
