That looks better than the photoshop shots, I still think you cant go past a five spoke wheel.

The Warwick ones are the clear winner, they're pretty much what I wanted from the start, but I'm still not sure if I can get them drilled to suit...I'll do a quick photoshop and see what they look like

Nice mate, thanks. Curious about how you straightened the wheels out though? I'm very very new to photoshop...

dw bout it.....i didnt they r still on a slant but i changed the opacity so it blended in more with the original picture....its kinda hard to explain but yer i just adjusted the brightness/contrast and eventually u can make things look the way you want....the only tip i can give u is to muck around with photoshop and u will learn as you go because everytime i play around with it i find something new hahah

wat photoshop r u using??

Not yet, I'll wait until I have the money. Paid on the 25th (grrr) I've given up emailing them, I just get the standard answer 'only the rims on the wheel wizard will fit', so I'll wait until I've actually got the money to do the talking with and then try...I guess they get a lot of dreamers, so they're probably pretty sick of having to go thru emails and answer silly questions.

Try G-MAX Defiant M190 they fit no drilling 5 x 108 and a 52 offset from memory and the look much nicer than the warrick mesh(which need to be drilled and may crack the paint on the rim around the stud holes, this is what tempe told me). I got quoted about 8 months ago for the G-MAX around $3k for 19" and tyres (can't remember what brand).

Yah...and they're probably made from Magnesium...and about 3k a rim :P
But that is the style of rim I'd like to get...I'm talking to John from Wheels World to see what he can do...I have no doubt he can help me out, I'm just not sure if I can afford it :(

I myself am a new owner of a 08' Ford Focus CL (downgraded from a 32 GTR for kiddies to make way) and am trying to find some decent wheels, i have my heart set on wheels that are similar in design as these and the Koya Inox AC wheels , however they don't these wheels in the PCD i need (5x108) ive been even on german websites and french trying to get info on some suitable wheels but yeh. I was looking at 19" or 20" if they are of an allowable width, had some young lad say that you cant fit 8" rims under the guards but im a bit skeptical of this, anyone in the know how if this is true.... cheers..

p.s. sorry bout the pic, but its hot!!!

That's a sweet looking ST. See if you can get those rims from Koya, but see if you can get them before they've been drilled. That way you can just get them custom drilled to the correct offset. Pretty sure there's places around Aus that can do that. If you wanted 8" you might need a spacer too. Not sure.
