Default cheapest place to get 18"white new style compomotives

hi all with only 1 or maybe 2 big spends left to do on my resto ive made up my mind to get a new set of 18" white new style 6 spoke compomotives, i know a lot of cars have these rims in the uk but theres no red escos in the irish RSOC running the red escos with white comps, i think there the nuts and its a safe bet. so is reyland the best place to go as i only want the rims and i can arrange delivery to ireland myself through work, plus ill be getting toyo R888s off a mate over here.. what kinda price should i expect to pay ? and what ET should i get as my car is running 356mm with 6 pot APs

Reylands prices are unbeatable and he will advise the right offset for you too, the 8.5 x 18's look good

Also get a price of your mate for the tyres and a price of martin, as he does good prices on those too

i think you will be hard pushed to find prices better than Martins for the Wheels and/or the Tyres.

Ford offset for the 8" standard wheels are et25.
to fill the arches better, and at Martins recomendation 8" with et15
8.5" go for et18.
9" go for et20

HTH.

8x18's are £785 ... 8.5x18 are £880 both are priced as a set of four inc delivery (to most mainland uk addresses) & vat. 8.5x18 is probably the best size to go for..
