They do!
But maybe not on that site, but i'd wonder why a set of wheels which are £480 each are being sold for less than the per wheel price for a set of 4!

ahh, I like the kei ones specially the force 8/10 but they only come in high offsets (43+) so Brembos are no go

Mine are et42 Kei racing ones and i seriously think i could get brembos on, look at my spoke design as Bill says i have loads of room between my standard calipers.

ET40 is only 2mm away from the standard offset of ET38, so I don't see why they wouldn't fit as long as they're 7 or 7.5" wide. As for Brembo's, depends on the clearance behind the spokes, but a smal spacer could be the answer.

The centre bore is something to think about too, standard size is 57.1 AFAIK, spigot rings can sort that out if needed usually. :)

I know they won't fit... I have some ET42's on my new Cupra and the owner who fitted the Brembo's needed to fit 15mm hub centrics for them to fit. I'm going to be fitting my 1000 miles old Brembo's and my SEAT OZ wheels at the weekend!

Buy them anyway, and see if Brembos fit, if they dont, like you said, a set of 4 for less than one wheel retail, sell em on ebay or sumat, you'd get your money back with a profit aswell i bet!! Its a win, win situation, if i had the money, id buy some, just check for sure they aren't DAMN good replicas, theres a lot knocking about, i had some FOX EVO 3's on my saxo before, 16" should've been aboput £500 notes+ but i got them for £200 with tyres of ebay, absolutely wicked replicas and a good wheel too, but not actual FOX wheels as far as who made them is concerned.
