Right then - UPDATE :)
And the price:
Fronts - £117+VAT
Rears - £138+VAT

So a set will come in sub £600 including VAT :D

Postage is approx £15+VAT per set (UK) thumbsup

And a bonus: - for no additional charge they can be finished in Black, Silver, White, Gold or Gunmetal

They would take 4-6 weeks to manufacture / paint / pack from date of order. :)


So... can we find 30 people that would want a set, or am I just getting my hopes up!


Your killing me (mot/tax next month) but count me in.

Is it worth somehow crossposting this to our European VX-owning friends to see if there was sufficient interest across the water?


Good idea, but I'm no good with foreign language

Also a potential issue that they wouldn't be too keen on the idea of handing over their hard-earned to a random English stranger - maybe one of the big Euro Speedster companies would be interested? anyone got any contacts :unsure:


Oh, and another thing, they will also be supplied with a set of centre caps (in silver)

Linky for anyone who wants a reminder of what the VXR Speedlines look like :)

The wheels might need TüV approval in Germany (and similar in Switzerland going on somebodys recent brake woes) for fitment to the VX/Speedster which could make things a bit more complicated.

Why not approach a company such as Plans / TMS / Courtenys to see if they would be interested in buying them and then distributing them?? Could be an option.

They will be satin black - as per my current wheels :)

This is a pic when clean (tho they soon take on more of a matt finish :))

Could be an option.

They would obviously want a mark-up, as the £600 is distributor cost - tho would still be a good price thumbsup

It has the compomotive 'flag' logo stamped into it, along with their name - but doesn't stand out too well once sprayed black :)

Namaah, I'd go with black to be honest (esp after your reation to Tony's stealth tubby on the L2B :D) I think gold would look amazing on either shade of green, I also think the white wheels would look great with blue (and be an utter PITA to keep clean!)
