i know , i know.. but i luv em !!!!!!!!!!!

and i want a set, but there isnt a single place over here that sells em, but i think i may be able to get them sent over or even ordered from over here

so what i need from u lads is

the correct ET offset so no probs are encountered
prices that u have paid (dont be modest!)
best dealer/seller that u can recommend

if it does comes to fruition, i think ill be the only person in the whole of denmark with a set of these wheels ( itԚ´ll drive them all mad!! :twisted: )

or www.rochfordtyres.co.uk they ship to Europe and the US, I paid Ԛ£650 for mine (BK171) from rochford with Toyo proxes T1-S and they have them with the correct offsett so they bolt straight on :thumb:

Apperently there are 2 types, from what I have heard I would have to say avoid the BK racing types, as they warp a lot (the way they are made) Never heard of anyone with problems with the other type.

I think the offset needs to be 15-20, but someone please confirm as im not 100% sure!

I got mine 2nd hand off ebay, 450 quid for 17s which I thought was an absolute bagain as there isnt a single mark on them and the tyres still have the little knoblies on them! must only have done 100 mile or so. Saved about 350 quid over new prices, and u really wouldnt know they were second hand!
