Jake they look nice.
Can I have a little more info on them please?
1. price?
2. ride comfort?
3. handling?
Do you have any suspension mods as well as this would alter the handling and ride as well.
Cheers.

hahah sorry I didnt include that info before.. but here you go.
1. price?
+ with low profile good quality tyres, cost me a little of 2 grand, knew the guys so scabbed myself a deal, I recommend shopping around.
2. ride comfort?
+ people tried to tell me I would suffer, I told them I dont care anyway, but realistically, its a little bit different, but barely a hastle at all. I think the vrx suspension is just awesome. The ride is still super comfortable.
3. handling?
+ as I only got it done yesterday, the tyres are really slippery. But as I have been driving alot, I can definently tell the difference, there is a increase in grip for me, and handling will excell over the 18's it had!
All in all, I'm extra happy and I'm super glad I didnt let myself get talked out of it. Plus it looks even better in real life, photos dont do it justice.

1. 20 inch rims, not sure of the brand, rocked up to Tempe Tyres in sydney, and choose the ones I liked the best out of the 20 inch range.
http://www.tempetyres.com.au/ is there website. easily the best place for rims and tyre sets!
2. low profile kumho's.. 20's by 8.5
3. no scrubbing whatsoever.

I would like to know the width of the rims and offset.
The tyres should have the details on the side walls.
Kuhmo what? they should be some thing like 225/35/20.

Those Wheels are:
Lenso OP3 20" x 8.5 (45mm Offset - 5 x 114.3 Stud Pattern) $300 each from Tempe Tyres.
The rolling diameter of the standard 215 / 45 / 18" tyres on a VRX / RA / Aspire = 651mm.
The RTA regulations in NSW state that the Tyre/Wheel Combination Size must not exceed 15mm more than that which comes as standard fitment on your vehicle.
Therefore Standard 651 + 15 = 666mm
Tyre Equivalent = 225 x 35 x 20" ( RTA legal max)

Hi David - Itachi
Check-out this Wheel/Tyre Calculator, it's has to be the best to use and informative.
Rims 'n' Tyres Wheel-Master Calculator
Remember the max size I quoted (666mm) is for the standard wheel/tyre combo on the VRX - RA and Aspire.
The ES - SX and VR will be slightly different.

No i just meant that it comes to '666' (thus the little devil
)
I think you've posted that site before Sam as I already used it to determine what I should be getting. I'm looking at 18x8" +45 rims and 235/40/18 tyres, so diameter goes from 651mm to 645mm.
