Thanks for that KenL. Not entirely certain why Minty is "sure" to know, but I am sure that I have flattered by sending a PM!

All the best,

That is most likely without a tyre!

Cost of a set with tyres is £1065 (if you divide this by 4 or even 5 it still comes to at least £70+ more than the cost of the single wheel I quoted above, which is probably the cost of the tyre.

This is the most unprofessional bit of site management I have seen since I was banned from a certain other site...at least they had the excuse that they were enthusiasts who had strong views and not professionals paid to keep thier cool!

I think switching to standard type sports tyres is better choice anyhow...I might go the route of TOYOs or Falkens(run these on my classic cooper/mayfair and find then excellent for my driving style...gets a little twitchy/side on in wet cons sometimes but does add grin factor...as well as mucho whiteness and brown stain factor)
