There is only 2 brands that have the correct load rating, unfortunaltey they are Wan Li and Nankang. The critical thing is the rolling diamter, that cant change by more than 10-15mm so you will need a 30 profile tyre. As for permits, no I dont. Cops have seen the car plenty of times and never said anything about them - touch wood.

Yeah I really wasnt keen on going them black at first, but I am keeping them and getting another set done in the same colour as the car - that way I can swap between chrome/black/blue whenever I choose. And no the rims on the Stato are my brothers - he got his when I got mine

hahaha fellas these are just covers that go over the original wheels. They bolt in to the rim using hex head cap screws. So the chrome wheel is still on the car, and I can just alternate between having covers or not and choose what colour I want on. Cheap and easy way of changing the car occasionaly. At least until I find another set of rims I want (have my eye on a set of Asanti's atm).
