not my car man, it's a sweet ride though!
i have deep dish offset 18x8 TSW's with the tires stretched on my car, i had to roll my rear fenders, still some slight rubbing but no cutting of the tires from the fenders, i can roll them a little more but haven't had time, heres a pic, i love these wheels, got 'em for a spanking good deal, merely because they have some curb marks on them

Just like to add for anyone doing this on a sedan or p5.... they will fit fine if you have stock or aftermarket struts...... but if you've got full strut coilovers get some spacers lol. I have K-sports and all 4 wheels rubbed on the coil adjustments, actually lowered the car as I drove lol. So basically its so close its not even funny, a 2mm spacer will fix it and if you have your fenders rolled thats no problem on the sedan. p5 its a bit harder because you're gonna need some camber in the back.

I've got 215/35/18 tires on it. Litterally the rim is just like 1 mm if that away from the coilover and the tire just started to touch it. it was soooooooooo close. That was after a 4 wheel alignment too so all the cambers were perfect. Not really a big deal but it might piss someone off if they got them and realized they need spacers so just thought i would mention it.
Also get those rear fenders rolled! and don't ever think of tucking anything with these rims. They look good just sitting on top of the tires though (better be a stiff suspension), no wheel gap but tuckin is a no go.

ha. the funny thing is they are not heavy at all. they weigh about the same as the stock 03 ES 16x6 wheels. I think its about 16 pounds per wheel...

Funny thing is they actually weigh LESS than the stock MSP racing harts. Which i thought was funny. By the way I actually got the rear rims on without spacers and it was fine, but still have to roll fenders to have the ride height I wanted. Front needed 3mm spacers. thats with k-sport slammed right on the tires, actually tuckin a bit in the front 
. I look forward to going to work just so i can walk out and see these ****** rims on that car they look SICK!! My friends can't get over how huge and awesome they look. I LOVE IT
Shipping to canada does suck but what I do is get them shipped to maine and then I just drive over and get them lol. It ends up being cheaper even with the gas to get there and customs. I'm like an hour from the boarder. It's more worth it to order multiple items though.

So you wanna just buy these?
I think you offered $550 shipped earlier, I think I might be able to swing that if I can keep the shipping to $100
