    To be honest with you: I really love those 18 inches. But the fact that I know we can have them made in China for well under 600 GBP a set keeps nagging me. I don't see why anyone should pay any more than 150 GBP per wheel in these days.

    As mentioned before, I have produced many parts in China and I have business associates who can check quality etc.etc. and I was never disappointed in quality. I wouldn't go for anything less than 100%.

    So anyone who wants to walk this route with me and can lend/sell me 1 immaculate 18 inch wheel including cover - would be awesome. I'm willing to take the financial risk there for the first order of, say, 50 sets.
    18x9J inch delivered! New (and probably last) batch being produced as we speak - se posts here

      I totally agree!! The price mentioned before is outstanding! I am in on this!

        Would love a set of these but at a potential £500+ a rim needing tyres and possibly spacers I'm afraid I'll stick with the montes let you rich guys have them

          the covers are genuine ford ones so you can easily buy one new,finding someone to lend you a rim though may be another matter

            The China route does seem a good option rather than being held to ransom in the uk.

              I just want a set of these wheels
              Not bothered where they are from, if somebody wants to get these made in China
              Then brilliant

              As long as they are as good and perfect copies then they will sell

              Also the UK ones have been safety checked
              Will Chinese ones go through the same test ?

                    Me 2 I'm out if the price is gonna be higher it's way too much for a set of wheels.... potentially 2k plus tyres thats outrageous..

                      you get what you pay for dont forget,ive had a few sets of genuine bbs splits over the yrs which if you bought brand new would easily cost over £3k without tyres but the quality is second to none and they are drop forged,in comparison ive seen several sets of damaged bbs "copies" which are made of monkey metal crap

                        I'd love a set but can't justify paying that sort of money for wheels so haven't put my name down, can't fault anyone for doing so they are fantastic looking wheels and good effort for the guy who's tried getting this sorted my only concern would be the quality of finish I've seen these at shows on escorts and the ones I've seen weren't 100% to be honest

                          I have a horrible feeling you are all going to get majorly shafted on these, they know the demand so can name their price!

                          That said, as with most things, if you want something badly enough then you usually fork out.

                            Well the Rotas were £880 which was enough and I would have thought the escos wheels would be easier to manufacture £1500 is taking the pi$$ to be honest
