Why don't you simply get them from the people we all got ours from?

I quite fancy these on my 2wd t25, to replace the 14" Carat wheels- I just love that look of Mefros with AT tyres- even though I've got no 4wd ......

Why wait? Just give your fellow syncro owners the name of the uk supplier.

I bought ZCW Force Shadows for my van but then again I don't play with mine (the van that is

) as vigorously as some of the other chaps on here. They are rated to 1050kg per corner.
Tyre wise I have shelled out for and used the BFGs but I went to Hankook RF10 DYNAPRO ATM which are waaaaay cheaper than the BFGs and in my opinion just as good. Think they were about £75 a corner rather than £130 a corner for the BFGs.
