Tried to buy some new wheels on Fleebay today - 2 sets of four up for sale with brand new SP Sports - got outbid on one set and the snipe programe I use failed to put the 2nd bid on, which at the value I entered would have won!.. Grrrr.....
Pain in the a..e when those things go wrong...
Elite only have two in stock, Camskill don't give any idea - just quote values and I can't find anyone else stocking them at the moment so even a GB might have problems getting stock...

Looie , I replaced my wheels and tyres with a set off of a brand new STI hatch zero miles, as I fancied the silver wheel look rather than gold ,and for under £500 I got spanking new wheels and tyres . They came with 235/45 on 17" wheels , I've been running them for a good few thousand miles now , with no problems if it helps

Vredesteins seem to be in short supply at the moment 
Let me know what Maggs comes back with, I asked him once before about Vreddys but he didn't come back to me.
I believe Mocom are an authorised supplier too, might be worth asking Zak if he can get a good price for multiple orders (supply only though I guess).

So depending on supply time and price we could be looking at:
Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
Looie - 4 x 235/45/R17 (or 225?)
SirFozz - 4 x 235/45/R17 (or 225?)
Cocker - 4 x 225/40/R18
Anyone else?

I've put a thread up in the group buy section asking if any suppliers can do a group buy and also see if there is any other interest to boost numbers

Hi looie
i just got a message from fozzy , i spoke to vredestein head office this morning about getting the sessantas , they are out of all the popular sizes completely and they are on a massive back order from everywhere . there is no eta on when they are coming in . i am waiting on there rep to come and see me this week to see what we can do about the situation as its frustrating not being able to sell them to people as camskills buy everything up pretty much . i worked out when i do get em i can compete and even beat their prices but its just getting the bloody things to begin with. i will keep you posted on progress with the rep and hopefully i can sort something out but untill then i dont think a group buy will be a good idea as all the popular scoob sizes are out .
regards

I've been speaking to Mags aswell Looie, give him a chance to speak to his rep.
I have other irons in the fire too. I've been speaking to Elite today and they are watching the group buy thread and already have some sizes in stock
