molten Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 cheers CliveBeen quoted 163 quid to supply, ballance, fit all 4 tyres. Dont think this is unreasonable.Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 But buy quality, not "budget" stuff.tyreshopper has some fair priced stuff (national tyres online) and can be a good bartering point when dealing with local sellers.Could get a set for £120, but wouldn't put them on a car.The avon cr322 were a good tyre, used on the caterham racing series as the only tyre they could use. They are available for £160 a set. http://www.valuetyres.co.uk/product.php?utm_source=Tyres-online&utm_medium=comparison&utm_campaign=referral&id=33294use TY05 for 5% off....

molten Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 HelloI received the wheels today and must confess to being somewhat disappointed at their appearance. The castings are all pitted (little air holes in surface. They seem to be unused. Is this how cobra slots were or should the surface be smooth as modern painted alloys are. Disappointed. :-(Thanks for any thoughtsScott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
