You get what you pay for.
Wheels in proper man sizes are never cheap unless they are kak rims that will break soon.
I still feel these prices are VERY competitive as you are getting them for less that they retail here in the UK.
Take these for example:
http://www.kaihatsu.co.za/wheels/rota-d ... black.html
I am selling them at almost R2,000 below UK retail price. So if you want proper wheels, this is the cheapest you are going to get for alloys that are tried, tested and proven.

Any idea on the price of shipping??

Shipping price for the container I will have for you this week.
For individual shipping you are looking at about R3,300 for a set of 18" wheels delivered to your door with no delays or waiting. Prices go down for smaller wheels.
The container shipping method should cost around R1,000 but I will confirm it this week when the shipping rep gets back to me later today.

By the way, I am currently working with Mario above, he is organising the shipping by container and taking orders so you have a local person to deal with until I get back to SA in April

Well seeing as only the Grids come in 4x114 I was eying a set of those.
To quote you

Yeah they are grid drifts. My catalogue has better pictures.
The catalogue is coming along, I had to start again because my MySQL database for the site died on me
The grid drifts come in the following offsets:
12
15
20
30
35
38
44
According to the stock list they can come in 4x114 in 18's in white and matt bronze (I will confirm)
I
But I have not seen them in the catalog (I may have overlooked them as I usually read like ass anyway)

You need to find the wheel you like and look in the options to see if it comes in the correct PCD, etc. I have looked through all of the grids and these come in 18 4x114:

I'm just double checking quickly but I'm pretty sure the first link is for Grid drifts (I pressume you mean the concaved face style?)
The picture used just shows the 16" version which makes the center for the bolts look rather large

We do have the ROTA grid drifts in 18" with 4x114 pcd.

If you have any questions, just give me a shout.

Im sorry

It really looks so diffrent! tbh it looks terrible in 16" and nothing like the 18" version.
Im starting to feel like the worlds worst customer here (and I have some real bad ones), but is it correct they are only offered in 10" and 8.5" (is that 10J and 8.5J?

) ET30 ?
Thats probably not too much of a problem as I was looking for 9.5 & 9, I definately dont want to run 10J up front though and a 9 would be great. But the offset stumps me now, im going to have to struggle with maths to work it out but even at 10J I think et30 is to high as I was thinking a 9.5J et-1 would sit just about perfect at the rear
