18x8 +37 is usually for nissan applications /w brembos AFAIK.

also.. nissan brembo 4 pots are slighly smaller than our STi 4 pots.

Thanks Tode, I will keep looking/reading!!!

As said, Wei @ VisionR stocks them locally, but be prepared to be bent over and raped anally when you ask how much they are.

Honestly, you really are better off importing them through someone like PerfectRun. Will be shite loads cheaper. (However, the Yen is shit at the mo, so you might wanna hold off)

For comparisons sake (prices wont be the same now obviously), when i bought my 18x7.5 CrKai's, i paid $1400 to my door through PerfectRun. At the time, VisionR wanted $2300. No thank you!
