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.

There pretty hot on it now, they go and look up the retail price over here and whack the charges on.

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.
