They are Performance Challengers (http://www.performancewheels.com.au/alloywheels_classic.asp)- Aussie made (in Adelaide!) the ones in pic are cleared chopped as they are 6 stud PCD from 4WD :hehe:
As AJPS in no longer in the sponsors section - hit up dave at ajps.com.au (http://www.ajps.com.au)

Nick probably saw a distribution warehouse with NSW stock. The foundry where they are cast (MADE) is in SA. I've been there on site visit while studying engineering at Uni.
Side note: ROH Wheels and Cast-Alloy (make OEM wheels for Aussie auto manufacturers and billet alloy motorcycle wheels for Harley-Davidson) are also made in SA. Trivia of the day :P
You'd be hard pressed to get a better price on Performance Wheels (unless you worked there yourself!) as Dave has negotiated with them on the specific sizes to suit KE/AE's.

As you can see some slight flaring of guards required but it's all good!

Only ones I recall seeing with Challenger 15x10 (195/50) were JHS's T-18 ages ago... There was a set floating around that went on everything from Corolla to MX63 Cressida
But Sundee's KE70 (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=5144) has 15x10 -12 Superlites all round with full metal flare.

And Mark 3SGTE (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=6692) has same fitted on flared AE86 and 15x8 -9 Challengers on his daily...

mark's superlites are so sexy...
i called up performance wheels to ask if 15x10 -12 are able to be daily driven, but they're not.
abit off topic, but does anyone have any suggestions to sexy 15 inch wheels (with good dish) that are still on the market.
i've had SSR MRK3 and was in an accident, so looking for new 15s
something like those 15x10 mark had
