Ah, no sensors for me. No TPMS, wheel speed sensor based instead.

Zito 135, staggered 8.5 & 9.5J 18”.
Rainsport 3, 235/40 and 265/35.

Total per corner came out to around £270 with fitting and disposal.

You will get money back on your current good wheels and tyres via E-Bay

Zito are good, I like the new Borbet and Azev wheels

I did the numbers, there's a £600 deficit for changing, after selling my old wheels/tyres (assuming 700 a set)

Probably not far out, you could just put a set of forged 19" wheels on and swap the tyres over.

that would be ideal, but then shifting the AMG alloys without tyres on the likes of ebay would be more difficult. Would save me having to buy 4 x more TPMS sensors.

Always people looking for single wheels

No one wants to buy a caravan with nayfeckin wheels, apparently.

A what??????

Many thanks, have given them a call, they instil confidence. May try that. They cannot provide a warranty though

If you go there don't be put off by the look of the place - its a proper old school place. Scruffy, stuff lying all around but its a no BS pride in their what they do place. The guy who owns it is very approachable and good at what he does.

A what??????

Caravan, Yoghurt pot, Wobbly box, Pikey palace...

 

[John Laidlaw]

Bring you car up here Alex, someone will relieve you of all 4 wheels then you can claim insurance for a nice new set

If you don't fancy a trip to Northampton I can wholeheartedly recommend a slightly nearer place - Wheel Genie of Huntingdon.

 

[vtaylor78]

Can thoroughly recommend Northampton Welding for repairs. He does a fine job and can repair stuff you would think was past redemption.

+1 for this company.

Borbet has just released a new range as has OZ (but they can be soft). Zito are excellent quality, there are loads of options out there.

A mate owns a wheel shop and will be able to help

Have a set of Borbets on mine , had them 2.5 years and only one crack that has just happened.
Tyre size 235/35/19 (front), 265/30/19 (rear)

So I took the (incorrect) run flats of back and bought another single alloy. Will see if these fare any better.
