dave - speak to martin hadland or mike rainbird as they will tell you what width and offset to use. They also sell them or can order them for you too.

Another alternative is image, Karl (Bigpower) of here has put some on his 500, and they were much cheaper than comps..

those image wheels look nice but just not as nice as the CXNs as they have more spokes and look more like the std cossie rims

Comps are a very good replacement for centre lock wheels, TCS mentioned the other day that there is some being CNC made so in the near future their maybe a group buy. I know i'd be in for that

Going off there site for 7.5 front and 8.5 rear = £1668.50 inc VAT so your still looking at around £2k with a decent set of rubber

Ran,
I've heard good reports about DS3000s, i may just try some of these tbh as i already have a disc upgrad that Ridgey fitted and tbh my car will probably never be a 400+car just a T34 if i do upgrade so i'm pretty sure they'd work/stop fine...

Pete mine was a T34 car and was 400bhp
defo need decent pads - anything after 100mph and your arse starts to sweat when braking hard

Do they make these CXNs anymore? And more importantly, is there any way to get hold of the mesh center plates for 16'' CXN wheels?
