Do you have a friend or courier who could pick them up for you and pack them?
I rang him and asked how much I owed for freight and he told me it was on the house. Needless to say I gave him great feedback on eBay.
I'm not aware of any other avenues, but it may be worth a look at Mr Mag in Morley.If they don't have them they may be able to get them as they'll be bringing stuff over from the east pretty regularly I'd say.They're just behind Hungry Jacks on Walter Road and it's a pretty big operation.Hope this helps.
16" i30 offset is 50P. Should be OK but you'd need to check before buying.I'm not sure of the hub centre sizing but I seem to remember Alan Ho (maybe) quoting some figures on this once. Maybe he'll see this and reply.1DRR, remind me whereabouts in Australia you are and give me some idea what you are looking for in a tyre.Maybe pick the most important two or three of...... and rate them in order.AppearanceTread lifeRide comfortSteering reponsivenessQuietnessPrice
They the ones on Ebay?From the Gold Coast if I recall correctly?
Only problem with that, surferdude, is that I'll have to get 205s (not 195s) to preserve the accuracy of my speedometer. Thoughts?
They don't come with wheel nuts.. would the ones on my steel wheels be fine, or do I need to acquire some different ones to suit the new wheels?Also, they don't come with tyres, so I'm seeking recommendations on what tyres I'd want to have on there.
Regarding the wheel nuts. You propably will need other wheelnuts, as the ones for steel rims are rounded conical, and the ones for alloys mostly is plain conical. Hope this makes sense, don't know how else to explain, maybe pic's.
we can't be sure the rims you want to buy will fit and not cause any clearance problems inside your guards.

Are these of any relevance to this clearance issue?Thanks for all your replies.
Hey allI'm in WA and am basically wondering if there are any better avenues to go down for some original alloys (be it 16" or 17") for my 08 SX diesel than to head to a dealership? As you'd all know, what they're asking just ain't reasonable!No luck with Gumtree the last couple of weeks, eBay is full of "NSW pickup only".
