Let me know if you find a away to get those centre caps to fit on the front. I had the same problem with my Varrstoen's. Mint looking wheels though!

Just hit the dust covers down a bit and they will fit on, ill do it once I paint the caps as I don't think the silver/ chrome on them would look right with the wheel.

Rears are just rolled, fronts are stock. It had 0 camber in the rear before which wasn't to bad but the 6kg springs let it get a bit scrubby but now has 1.5 which fixed it (have adjustable camber arms). I'll take some better photos of it when its not night time.

What model are these and how much did you pay?

They were from www.shop.cartel-aus.com but I didn't pay for them so I dont know the price, I swapped my stock 18"s for them. They are 19" Varrstoen 2.2.2.

I just mounted my Enkei PF01s (with Nitto NT01s) on my F6. Fronts are 18x8.5 et30 with 245/40, rears are 18x9.5 et35 with 275/35. Haven't taken them out cause it's gonna rain and I don't want to die. They're for the track only, but damn, they look so much better than I thought they would! I was going to plastidip them grey, but they look perfect in silver. I love the 18" size with the higher profile rubber, looks mean. I'll get to test them properly in 3 weeks, can't wait! By the way the car is lowered on Shockworks coilovers, 355mm hub to arch.

Also worth mentioning weight reduction, compared to the standard 19x8 FPV rims with 245 Sport Maxx rubber, which weigh 24.2kg. The Enkei fronts are only 20.6kg and the rears are 22.4, so total reduction in unsprung weight is 10.8kg.

Be interested in what you think of the NT01, I'm running the nt05 rear with invo front but am going to the NT01 all round soon. For both track and street duties.

I don't think they'd be a good street tyre, from what I've read they're diabolical in the wet, and can't deal with standing water at all. They're stamped 'for competition use only' and 'not suitable for highway use' on the side, so even though they're technically road legal it would probably be an issue if a pedantic cop pulled you over. The R888 is a better tyre for wet conditions, but noisy as hell and if you did any sort of street mileage on them you'd be replacing them pretty often.
