Woow the car looks great. Really just the right size and look of the wheels. I'm just not that keen about the chrome stuff around rear lights  ;)

A bit of a story about me buying these wheels. I had ordered a set of 17" wheels that are new to Oz called Wolfrace. But I have been waiting 10 weeks for these wheels to arrive, always getting told that they would be there next week or maybe the week after.

So I decided I would go for the Speedy wheel but in a 15" and use my original tyres. I asked the dealer what was his best price on the 15" and was quoted $207.00/wheel. Wifie said lets call up another place for a price and they quoted $175.00/wheel. So we decided to go and talk to the second place about them.

When we walked into the place, I told the bloke that we had just called and would like to look at the wheels. He asked if we would be interested in some 17's as he had just received some that day he didn't actually order (stuff up from supplier) but couldn't send back. So I said give me a price on the 17" wheels and tyres and it was a good one. Fitted on the spot as well.

So it must of been meant that the i30 was to have 17's instead of 15's.

I reckon the 17" were the way to go looks and handling wise.. Trish is no boy racer so we stuck with the 15" and original tyres too but in your situation sounds like you were on a winner...
