Hi there, i`m currently purchasing a set of said wheels from Edworthys` www.edworthys.co.uk in gold at a price of about £1150.00 (ith tyres).
you can also try www.southcoastwheels.co.uk and i know halfords are doing them too but i dunno the price there.
check Japanese performance mag as there is an ad in there too...
good luck.

Save your money lads. I bought a set when they were first released, infact i was supposed to be the first person in the UK with the gold 18's. Let me tell you now, they are ****e. Have had 19rims now in total. They buckle, they shatter, they are crap. I have had no help from OZ in sourcing why they are so weak. Went to the Max Power show this year, car was on show there. Whilst driving to the show i hit a pot hole, buckling my 2 n/side rims. Wasnt even a big impact. In my experience i would have to say that the 'So called new age technology wheels' are **** and not worth wasting your money on.

Just bought a set from Scoobyworld delivery on Wed.

£1260 with Toyo T1-s Proxes fitted and balanced.

I think Edworthy's quote for Falken tyres.

Try one of the specialist rallying companies
One in the North is AS Performance
www.as-performance.co.uk
Very helpful and reasonable
I run 18" Speedlines - very nice, lightweight and strong

I got my O super legs from Halfords a month ago or £1170 with toyos !
Not sure if there was a promo on then or not !
Dont rate Motorsport who supply the Oz wheels to the UK
ENSURE YOU GET THE RIGHT TYRES SIE & TYPE OF WHEEL NUTS FOR THE CAR !
THE STANDARD NUTS DO NOT FIT & DAMAGE YOUR WHEEL ! & ALSO MOTORSPORT DECIDED THEY KNEW WHICH TYRES I NEED BETTER THAN I DID & SUPPLIED A DIFFERENT PROFILE !

All my problems are only just now getting sorted a month later !

No problems either. I've got anthracite 18" OZ SL's - no problem in over 20K of motoring - including, like Phil, a performance driving day with Andy Walsh. Father-in-law has 17" OZ SL's on his car - no problems either. I have to say that I have generally heard very good things about them.
