For 18's with falkens, $1680 is pretty good. I got quoted $2200 at a number of shops for packages with falkens.
They seem pretty decent and i would be more likey to buy from a shop like them that have been in business for years then someone dodgy on ebay or something like that.

don't buy rims that aren't approved to the Australian Standards. there have been cases of cheap imported rims collapsing. obviously that's a very bad thing if they're on your car.
judging by comments of others these sound good.

The rims look good but as a friendly bit of advice, avoid the Falken tyres. I've read a few people on the other forum had problems. I just got rid of my Falken ZE326 and It's like a new car. The Falkens were noisey and tracked all over the road even when new. The worst part of all at 25,000k's they had completely lost their shape. All 4 of them! I see they offer Hankook for the same price. Might be a better option.

Actually you need a load rating of 95 minimum mate.
Stock your car came with P205/65 R15 95H, H being speed rating, 95 load rating I believe. Go the hankooks.
