mate of mine ordered some this morning with yoko A032 165 $900 delivered to his door, Some one else ordered them for him so he could not tell me the site he ordered from. Then I told him I just , on friday, took my 10 x 6 mambas off my car and he could have bought them !!!

Yep I'd say Midland wheels is the way to go, i purchased some mambas with yoko A008 from them a few months ago for around $800 delivered within a week.

Do the 5 x 10s fit over Cooper S discs and do they stick out past the guards with no flares?

Yes, 10 x 5 mambas do fit over S discs. (I checked with midlands wheels before I bought mine). And they fit snuggly within S guards.

Can take some photos if people wanna see.

So theres about 3mm of overhang outside the flares but nothing to really worry about. Its sitting low, yes; There isnt an engine in the front at the moment.

Also these wheels will most likely be up for sale soon if anybody is interested.
