£350-400 for a set of 18s isn't bad to be honest. Could be worse, my mate's BMW costs around £230 for just one tyre so he's looking at least a grand for a set! Plus being run flats they can't repair it if it had a puncture so it needed a brand new replacement, he experienced a couple already so you can imagine the burning sensation in his wallet!  :surprised:

On a slightly off thread note. Patchysan I have been told that run flats can now have puncture repairs done to them. Know a good guy that owns a HI-Q franchise near me. The HI-Q head office have said it can be done inline with normal repair procedures. ie. not in sidewall. Also Goodyear have said the same. It's just bmw that say no for some reason.
