Shopping around I ended up getting a really great deal at wheelexecutives.com downside being I had to go through the drama of import customs. Anyway after 2 weeks of back and forth with customs I did manage to get it all sorted this afternoon and my wheels should be with on Monday

Just need to order some new rubber and pics will be on the way

Got them today. Came in some great flight cases, thought the missies was going to have a moan and she said "can I have the cases"

Will get them mounted on Thursday.

I should think its about $4500 for you chaps to buy and in tradition double the price here.
WOW what a ripoff! If they cost 4,500.00 USD, then thats only 2308.60 GBP. + 1200.00 USD shipping would only be 615.64 GBP. So thats a total GBP of only 2,924.24! How do they get off ripping you off like that, I don't know. So, in actuallity you paid $17,547.22 USD for those babies! Damn! They look nice though.

Thanks, I got a super deal TBH and saved a packet. Total cost was about $5500 Im pretty chuffed

Really thankful for those flight cases. They where kicking around customs for two weeks and really showed on the outside boxes, but flight cases where spotless
