That was my first impression too! Dont want to fork out on a set to find they dont look right though, lol!

The backs are at least 9" looking at that dish :D The only ones I can find in my budget are 16*7 and 16*8 though... I reckon they'll give just about the same look with the correct spacing for the perfect stance!
