Thats a good price definitely take it. I got quoted 1850 quid for the wheels alone.

I prefer the Michelins Diamaris tyre, prefer the tread pattern and the lack of road noise, I know some guys on this forum have commented on road noise from Toyos, nothing major though. Also like the kerb band on it does help a little.

Best price I could get for the full set of these for 850 quid incldg balance, valves etc.

Is dealer giving you the RDC valves as well, do you have it on your X. Make you get them if you have it, be about 30 quid.

Let us know and send some pics.
After giving the go ahead and paying a deposit, I suddenly thought - what tyres are they giving me???? Phoned them back and asked for Michelin's, they said that would put the price up big time! I wasn't having any of it and after 10 minutes on the phone to the parts manager, he agreed that the £2500 will include the Michelin's - Result!! (he was a nice guy and probably putting his neck out - hope his bosses don't find out ).

As for the arch extensions - they quoted £750. Is this worth it? Do I need these? Yes I do have RDC. Didn't know I needed new sensors though. Thanks for that, I'll phone the dealer back.

Regards,

Dave
