Did you see those prices Gaz? €65 for hub centric with the extended bolts. Cheapest by far. I couldn't get close to that. Gonna ring them for a postage quote.

Hi Dave, how did you get on with this ?
Ringing them today Lex. I'll post when I've done it.
I'm tempted too, priority however is ordering points, condenser, coil and distributor cap first. For the Minx tho
Back on topic, i didn't think I needed spacers on the front but having measured via the stick method, I could put 12mm's on there, so I'll be hot on your heels.
I've rang the firm "east coast alloys" in Ireland. Really nice chap. €65 for a pair of 5x120x20mm hub centric with bolts plus €10-15 for shipping to the UK. In old money that's £59 delivered. Bit of a bargain I think! Going to order on Thursday when I get paid. The phone number on the link didn't work. The correct number is +353 41 685 7801

Well don't hide the news! Where from Tony!
As I said before from California. Have you priced for all 4 and bolts from the Ireland supplier?
Tony.
ps. My price was ex p&p. But you need his price to compare.

i dont even look at US parts any more, the part is always cheep and the shipping is double the price of the part 
its a joke, but actually its true

I agree Dave, so why don't we get parts at that same cheaper price over here in Europe? Who is doing the ripping off? I don't think it's the shippers. I suspect many of their parts are made in the East but shipped across the Pacific rather than the Atlantic routes, maybe that's the difference in cost.

im not sure Tony but i do know it was driving me nuts, so i just stopped even looking 
parts from China and Japan are usually free shipping and some Euro countries also so at least all is not lost, it would be nice to have some of those US prices to hand though

I agree that it's very frustrating Dave, but sometimes the parts that we need aren't available from the far East. I f there's any thing you need from the US when I'm over there pm me and we'll see what can be done.

Good find, are you spacing the front too?

No Ash. There 8.5j all round so the fronts are a bit big already really. There not the ideal wheel for the car but I like the style and there in A1 condition so don't want to part with them. (And Jue says I'm not allowed!!!)
Thanks Gaz
