Les Brock Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Now is the time for me to bust the bank and get some So what's the best deal at the moment and where (more than likely D4x4 as they now have the sole right for the UK) I was going to try and barter for a set of 5 @ the LRO show but its this Friday/Sat/Sun and I'm At Tony's and then on holiday for a week Also is there anyone going to said show and who could find out what "show" deals are on so I can try and get the same price later in the week, but over the phone, or calling in and waiving cash as them.... do I go for 35's or wimp out and have 33's ???? FYI Tdi/1.4 Transfer/3.54's/big intercooler and a fair bit of whompphhh.....providing the water stays in it this time So do your best to make me think again at acctually buying a set and fitting a new bathroom instead...

roguevogue Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Buy 35" Fedima Scirocos, £125 each inc. at billing from King Off-road. As you can see they are actually over 36" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Les, i am intending to go to the show, will then see you at Tonys' what size you after, i will ask after prices if required 35"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MogLite Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 ISTR mine were 125-130 each. But that was years okay, I had one of the first sets in the country - still going strong, but will virtually no road mileage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petergg Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 At Billing 35.11.50.16 were £149.00 Fedima Remolds were £125.00 and Silverstone (new) were £130.00 I think that Simex D44 were the only one out of the three that had an E mark.

will_warne Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I paid about 140-150 (can't quite remember) for one of mine earlier this year. I'd go for either 35x10.5x16s or 35x11.5x15s. Have you bought much from Devon before? If you have you might get a bit more off.... B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 You resisted the 36" then Will? I found Devon very helpful. Good customer service. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Thanks for the replies I will more than likely go for the 35x10.5x16's ( JST good if you could) Bought my lockers etc from D4x4 as well as other stuff, so you never know ! I think a "few" people who have got some recently are being a bit coy about saying how much they paid, just in case the missus reads it over their shoulder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 36x12.5 ET2's Billing show @ £169 (I think) each for 5. No V.A.T on top. Now just got to remove some bodywork so they articulate. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Les,I paid my set of dwarf 32" ET 125Euros each one thanks to a mate from Cyprus, with added advantage I can write it freely as I don't have any miss to read it over my shoulders! Have fun! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 You resisted the 36" then Will?Richard Haha, I only needed one tyre last time. I did think about 36s when I got the full set but I decided against as I thought they were a tad big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
