I thought I might also add a few comments about these wheels.
Pre-sales: excellent, very fast replies to enquiries, answered all questions (including the stupid ones !!)
Shipping: very cost effective and arrived quickly
Packing: very well packed, solid boxes
Quality: excellent quality, extremely well made - they actually feel 'expensive'
Fit: perfect - just as promised
Other: My local tyre retailer was extremely impressed with the quality of the wheels. I asked him about having to redo the wheel alignment and he said i did not have too as I was using the same (albeit 18") ride height.
Driving: The cars drives no different at all. If you didn't know you had put 18" wheels/tyres on it, you'd never tell. The ride height is the same, the comfort is the same (which was always good anyway on the 16" and this is why i pondered doing this swap over). Some have said that you lose 'comfort' when you go to 18" wheels/tyres from 16" - but I didn't find this at all. I might be biased, but it even feels like a better ride - but that might be as I went from Bridgestone to Michelin tyres?
Hope this helps someone elses purchasing decisions.
