They aren't that expensive. I got my 18" Paces for £400 so you should be able to find a decent deal out there somewhere. Probably not Halfords though.

wait and buy wheels with the proper offset anything above et42
BTW check this:

but you need low profile tyres and check the offset with the seller

il keep looking around then m8, i wnat them to be perfect fit with no rubbing or any other problems, you sure that its best at et45 to et 49, someone told me that et 38 is best if the car is lowered because it can catch on your suspension or shock or something but that cant be right surely!
