Thanks for the heads up on this BCP, I’ve just booked a set of five, just two questions one daft: (1) This should just be a question of taking my old wheels off and bolting these straight on, right? And (2) any ideas how I can get them up to Manchester? Cost Etc…Brute force and ignorance, the D3 does the rest.

No problem with the insurance company, so does anyone know how much they would cost to ship from Romford, Essex to Manchester, and or how much they weigh per piece including the tyre?Brute force and ignorance, the D3 does the rest.

If you get the weights & etc give these people a try for a quote:
I guess that it will a separate package price for each wheel.
I have no connection other than using them successfully. Cheaper than the normal companies (even though they use their services). 8)

Amtrak were about £78 when I sent 4 wheels and some of the people advertising sets of wheels on ebay just now are using couriers at under £50.

Just a word of warning on insurance - I was seriously considering getting a set of these and rang my insurer (Direct Line) who have advised me that as the wheels are not standard to the discovery 3 range, the increase on my premium (full no claims, protected etc.) is £164 per annum
Off to get another quote as i only renewed yesterday and am still in 14 day cooling off period

I have not notified my insurance about the FFRR wheels on my car. I never thought it would be necessary. I have a set of 17's for off-roading with non standard (not factory) STT's, should I be telling them about those too, and evertime I use them?
Seems a bit OTT to me.
