I have just been informed by Toyo that as of 1st Feb they are increasing prices on the 888 range by just over 10% so if you are thinking of buying any do so now!
Where can we get some from at the moment?
I'd need good prices, great advice, and quick delivery. And definetely no Phil Collins look-a-likes.
Anyone know a place that can supply all the above?

Yes this may generate some immediate sales but my main concern is to inform of the price increase.. I have quoted quite a few people off here and I need them to know that my quote is only good for a few more days, I only heard of the price increase today! It's not a small increase, £58 on top of a set of 225/40x18 ..

Having bought R888s from you, apart from the comment ref looking like Phill Collins, all the rest applies to you perfectly.
If I didn't have a set of 265/35/18 Direzza's that I bought for the same price as 255/35/18 R888s, I would have had another set off you in a flash.
I always rave on about the merits of R888s, and have recommended you in the past.
A certain family member will be needing another set for his Evo shortly too, so your post warning of the rise will be heeded at this end!

How much will the 10% increase in cost price effect the end price to customers by martin?
So for example spikeys 380 quid, how much will that increase by?
And before anyone replies, no im not asking what 380 * 1.1 is, as obviously its 418!

Using Spikys example, £380 less VAT is £330.43 so the 10% would be added to the pre vat price and then vat added back on. That does work out at £417.99... It's a fair old increase!
Oh right, I was just thinking maybe if you were selling them for 330+VAT you were maybe buying them for 280+VAT and so the increase would only be 28+ VAT and not 33+ VAT, if that makes sense?
Either way, definately worth people buying now if they know they need some soon.
I suspect rob might be after a couple for the astra in the very near future as his as starting to wear, would you be able to bring some to bedford if we do want any so we can save on postage as we are pikeys

There is no charge for delivery on sets of four, orders less than that cost an extra £7 delivery. They charge that amount whether they deliver to me or to you.
Ah, I didnt realise they came from TOYO to the end user and you just bagged a commission for selling them, I assumed you had a lorry load of them arrive which you bought in advance in sizes you thought people wanted, and you then stuck them on the shelf, and then waited to see if anyone ever wanted to buy them.
Im kind of realising now how silly that view was
for me then
