An identical wheel is made by Tecnomagnesio.
An 8x18 is just too wide for a pre 01 car, even in ET48. A higher ET would foul the damper and an 8" wheel needs a 225 tyre.
Weight is just over 4kg (for the 18"
) and Italian Wheel Distribution can supply but the minimum order is 6 sets. The competitor's price is £385 a wheel (+vat for EU).
Tony on 01268 591444 has details.

Hi Guys, I have wanted these wheels for a long time, they are available but only in sets of 12!! Are there two other scoob owners who would want a set of these 18"x8" on there car??? 
They are magnesium so light weight and they look great.
The wheels are 410 pounds each. I realise this is a lot of cash for wheels, but they are fantastic. If anyone knows of a better price that would be great.
Please post or e-mail me your interest, or feedback.
Thx

So sorry guys attached the wrong picture, these are the correct wheels.... 
The others above are STi items from Japan and are over 750 pounds per wheel, thats why Im happy to pay 400 pounds for the speedlines...

Thx pete, I was wanting to hear something along these lines. Looks like I might have to opt for the STi Rays Engineering wheels as they are 7.5" wide and will fit won't they?? As this has been done plenty of times on other pre 01 cars.
Any other advice you could offer would be appreciated Pete.
