    A rolling diameter size calculator I use is one from 1010tires.com. Very helpful and easy to use!

    Aaron, give Peter @ OZWheels a call on 0404844806. His shop is in St Marys (previously Leppington) and I remember he makes Porsche replica wheels, except in multi-piece form. They're custom made to your dimensions/specs/colour/finish, but don't come cheap at $650-ish per wheel before tyres. Check out http://www.ozwheelaustralia.com.au/2.html - it hasn't been updated for years though and last I went there was more than a year ago, but I think he should still make them.

    Now that looks pretty hot. A little more than I would like to spend, but custom made means no adaptors and that saves you near $1,000 before you start looking at the wheels themselves (for good adaptors that is...).

    Interesting, very interesting...

    That was the price quoted to me as I was asking about them in 16". I stopped asking further after hearing the price haha. You gotta know that they're custom made so price would fluctuate up and down and all around! Give him a call/visit at least... he usually has quite the wheel porn hanging down on walls and around the counter.

    Consider a set of genuine ones are cheap at say $1000 + shipping from the states, adaptors are close to $1,000...

    Oh... and they look HOT

    I am definately going to look at that place, even if I have to choke and walk out because it's too expensive, I need to have a look.
