The prices quoted aren't bad for true custom wheels (custom offset so wide wheels fit perfect). Considerably less than what's on their website (for 18" set).
I did the math.
1212GBP = 1351.77EU = $1767.78US
400GBP = $583.76US
15% VAT = $265.05US
-------------------------
Grand Total = $2616.56 (Don't forget tires. Yes, you'll need tires no matter what wheel you get, but it ain't like you'll mount Hankook's or Kumho's on these rims!)

Price I thought was extremely reasonable ($441.94ea) for these wheels. But, considering what a GTV6 is worth right now...

You car looks to be very straight and clean Karyn. What is the color code (under rear hatch)? Does it have that dark brown cloth interior? You know, I have seen a car (similar color) where the owner sent those same wheels you have out for powder-coating in a gun metal or bronze and totally transformed the look! Add some spacers to the rear to fill the wheel well & you're done!

Not to step on any vendors toes, but take a look at this wheel. From what I understand, they're very reasonable & looks like they come in 5x100, so you'll need the variation nuts and hub-centric rings to fit them. 5mm difference in offset from stock in 16x7 (but 25.4mm wider).
