cait Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Matt there are a few members on here that have those (I waited 8 months to see some for sale) although I did once see 1for sale on Ebay and it went quite cheaply too as he hadn't got it described very well it went for about £120 + postage. but they VERY seldom come up for sale I had these on my wish list for a long time Fantastic choice though Just keep looking there where some on here for sale for weeks & for lots of reasons they didnt sell either because people hadnt got the spare funds after Xmas (including Myself) or they didnt want (oyster) White So eventually I was SO overtaken with the I NEED these I WANT these 'bug '... I tapped the Bro up for a 'loan' so as I could buy them of Member Sj.... & I got mine EXTREMLY CHEAP £500 + postage so, there are bargains to be had IF you wait, just keep looking!! Also You could check if any scrapyards have any check the For Sale section on CCUK on a regular basis too !! hth Edited April 5, 2011 by cait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harwood Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 exactly the same site, without inserts. link be warned, no one can get stock of new ones, they will take your order and money, then cancel it a week or so later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very true. No way really? I need two new ones cuz I drove over a pot hole and they are slightly bent now. No place does them brand new?? Mr T may still be able source some from the Parts H.Q. in Belgium, but it will be over £300 for a pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mckezik Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Mine were a bargain!!!....gone to a good home tho now with nearly brand new tyres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cait Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 the inserts are removeable BTW as far as i've been led to believe Can you only get the inserts in silver & black? I wonder what they would be like in blue (this colour in the text ) to match the premium blue seats I think Black would be much better though to match the car colour. I dare not put a pic up of the white tech 5s not untill the car is lowered as I know the comments will commence about 4x4s & I'm kinda VERY broke right now due to some recent purchases including a new 'ironing board' no ££ spare to have painted as yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cait Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Mine were a bargain!!!....gone to a good home tho now with nearly brand new tyres I can confirm the above statement Like Brand New I LOVE THEM SJ :blush:I'm very Lucky to have them seeing they where for sale for several weeks and most members would know the condition and the money that had been spent on these with £700 shoes (exclusive of the refurb) so Yes I got a real bargain for 5 wheels with 5 mint / almost brand new Good quality Tyres for a mere £500 VERY very happy with my purchase Thank You Sj & Mick Very handy to have a spare wheel as well in veiw of the above info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
