Just a thought. The offset for those rims is only 40 (original R90s have 48). This means that wheels would stand a bit more on the outside.

Sorry! I'm sure I have the information you require. I just have to trawl through my PMs! Sorry! I will dig this info out when I have a few mins. I promise to do it today.

I've been told you can buy these in the UK from a website called topgear (not the tv programme) for £590 for 4. I bought mine for approx £400 from Italy. I'll try and get you Lucas details!

Thanks nice Laura!!!! Pls PM me the way that I can buy the R90 direct from Italy, I hope the shipping cost from Italy to Hong Kong need not to add too much on cost!!!

I just call the "Wheel Shop" at UK, they told me it cost US$2000 (all in) for whole set of Replica R90 from UK to HK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a link to the topgear site selling them:

Thinking about buying these myself when my runflats need replacing.
