Thanks for the comments guys, i think they are a nice looking wheel too.

I think the 67/8 shape look very good with the 5 spoke type design wheels... i dont think you can go wrong with that choice. As long as they are big, and shiny. I will check the backspacing on them definately before i purchase, i'm fairly sure he said they had 5.5" backspacing on em.

We can get most things ordered into the country, but choice of stuff off the shelf is usually fairly limited.

Love the comment about wheels being similiar in choice to a wife, hahahahaha.

I'm pretty keen on picking up these wheels, what backspacing should they be to fit ideally under the back? I wanted to run a 9.5" wheel out back, but it's only half inch i'm losing.

I have standard width 12 bolt out back with drums on, i plan on upgrading to some decent disc in the future, will this affect my wheel choice now?

Yep, the wheels make the car.. get what you like and WHAT FITS.. if you like these and they fit then go for it.. I like the style personally..
