My new winter wheels are here and all ready to go! 
Ordered them from Germany two weeks ago, DPD sent them to FRANCE
! Last Monday they arrived my home. My gf received them, because I was in another town. Yesterday I got the wheels to a local Toyota dealer, where I had purchased new winter tires (Nokian Hakkapeliitta 245/40 R18). They set them up on wheels, and minimal amount of weights were needed. Brought the set back home, and now I have already modded them 
!
So...

Fierce!
It's a straight fit with a 72,56mm center hole. Other specs are 8,5x18 ET13.

I did the silver stripe ("Time Attack") with a same method as with my summer setup earlier.
5mm thick stripe from a motorcycle accessories shop!
Acetone + mf to wipe the possible grease stains.
Few minutes of work and there it is.
Then some Finish Kare 1000P love for protection...
Smoooooth...
