Is that price for the QF or SF models? (I assume its the latter). In the US, the list price on the QF (18") is $610 per wheel while the SF is a more respectable $235, I suggest using the net to find some Euro suppliers and get them shipped in.

Hop up racing doiing them for $213 each, I guess there's shipping ,customs, etc. on top of that but makes £379 sound pretty saucy...

Whoa, these guys are light!! Found weights here.

They sure are, in fact thats something that a lot of people forget when buying alloys, that fact that light wheels reduce the cars unsprung weight and in turn the rotating mass, light wheels mean better performance and reduced braking distances.

Alloys

These don't have buddy club alloys but as far as i know they are one of the cheapest places for alloys in Ireland. Maybe they could order them in for you? They fit them for me with new tyres in an hour. No need to order in.

You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today. They left a little note on the windscreen, it said 'Parking Fine'.
