Quotes were around the $230 per corner mark. Pretty happy as I got close to 50 000k's from them.I can get a set of 18" rims off a G6ET with SP Sport Maxx 245/40 R18's (about 3000k's old.) I'm a big fan of that tyre but think the rims may look a bit conservative on the T. Having said that I am generally a fan of understated 'non-bling' type rims.Anyone from club grandpa with some advice????

Heres a couple of pics, sorry for the bad pic quality but they were taken with my crappy phone camera.

It off to the dealer again this week so ZF can once again try and sort out the trans issue.
