As in made in America or coming from America? Surely the postage is half the cost, making me even more wary.

I don't want to sound like I'm trying to alarm you, but tread carefully, yeah?

understand where everyone is coming from which is why nothing is set in stone as of yet. I have asked the same question to where they are actually made myself and awaiting a reply of many questions. Either way I will get some from somewhere haha!

A wheels provenance is of utmost importance and should be the first part of the decision making process....even before price

After a lot of discussions over the weekend I have decided not to go with the guy from America, he gets them all shipped in from china where they are made, he was banging on about how good the quality is but I just wasn't 100% happy so decided against it in the end!

My 182 wheels are ending tomoz at currently at £350 so fingers crossed I can get some with that money!
