I aim to buy a set of 18" alloys with Vredestein Wintrac 4 Extreme winter tyres fitted and have started researching suitable wheels. Found this web site which may be useful to anyone considering the same approach. It has explanations and calculators for wheel offset, tyre size, rim width etc.

If anyone has bought non-Mitsubishi 18" alloys and has some pics it would be appreciated. The hardest part is trying to ascertain what alloys will look good. One wheel/tyre site has pics, as stated in another post, but the car isn't a representative colour for my white PHEV.
Also, did anyone ever venture over to Holland and buy some wheels there? The Dutch accessory brochure has the following prices which look pretty good compared to the UK where the 5 spoke rims, without tyres, are about £450 each:
