What more do you want? No one has them. The one pictured above is chop someone made. That's what they'll look like.

Those wheels kick but. Excellent quality as well - not the lightest though. Have seen that wheel in Germany on the Focus and they are verrry nice.
Would look even better if you could get the euro center caps - they cover the lug nuts. Probably need check if they would fit and order caps from europe though.
I want to get them for my lowered (BAT Kit) SE but the roads here are so crappy (pot holes, cracks, etc) that the ride would be unbearable with 45 or 50 series tires. I believe they would be tough enough though.
GET THEM!!!

I share your situation peter, the roads here arent great and i intend to get the BAT eure handling kit come next spring. I'm sure the ride quality will suffer with the low pro's, but after seeing the pic i think a little discomfort is totally worth the look those wheels give the car.
send me a pic, i'm wondering how the bat kitlooks(it lowers the car about 1" right)
thanks for your input

Actually, someone does have them. Do a search! 
Of course the image doesn't show anymore but I'm sure fxr98svt would post it again if you ask him.

that was a photoshop of my car with the wheels. here is a picture of the actual rims on the car. 
if it dont fit, force it. if it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
