This is A$334, does that mean the wheels only cost you A$216 :?:

I thought the 207 GBP was on top of the GBP 344?

However... A032Rs are about $158 minimum in Australia, are they not?

So tyres + fitting + balancing = ~$700.

Anyone know what this offset translates to?

http://www.midlandwheels.com/Shop/P-2353-5-x-10-JBW-Minilight-Anthracite--165/70x10-Yokohama-A032R.html

I'm running tired Cooper S offset Comtessas at the moment and they just fit under the guard. Will this do the same?

$787AUD delivered. Nice. Translates to $70 for the wheels.

This is going to be just awful for the trade deficit this year...

Still, I've got an engine to rebuild in a few weeks.....so whilst the sun is shining, one must make hay.

And the govt. think they run the country - ha ha, more like the financial markets and international corporations. I guess that explains why the PM only gets about a lousy $350K pa.

you should be saving up for the original motor for your S, not buying wheels!
