I quite like the look of these rims.18 X 8 to suit i30.
$600 per rim, now $300 on sale.

Very nice but they would want to be (3 times the price of Trish's similar wheels, even when on special)  :whistler:

I can see the greater detailing... :winker:

with those rims on your car, you would probably need a set of 5 lock nuts per disk too  :winker:

I didn't click they were 18 x 8 (that is wide) explains some of the cost .. Probably looking at another $300 per tyre (for anything reasonable = $2400 all up )  :sweating:

I hadn't priced the tyres. That would put me off.
I just thought they looked nice.
Continental CC5 tyres for the 16" are $149 fitted at my tyre centre.

My Tyre price was only a guess (but be fairly close I reckon) I'll add a link in a minute..  :D

$149 is great for the continentals

From around $250 by the look of it... (Trev would know better)

When I look at rims I always think of the cleaning aspect ie how difficult is it to clean and keep clean. You're gonna need a good wheel brush to clean those rims... Unless you have small fingers
