Just a rough guess Gav but I think they are nearly ?200, so not cheap. Why ? You got some shiny new wheels you're not telling us about  ;D

Oh well so much for me getting in there first !!

The adapters new from H&R are around ?200 - but if you're on the ball and know where to look there's a few bargins out there ;)

Mine are off to Fat wheels next month to be diamond cut and powder coated - they're a really nice bunch, cheers for the tip Gav ;D

Far canal Gav ! It's cheaper to get design 90s and some adaptors  :o

I got quoted ?80 + VAT to refurb my wheels yesterday and even more if I want them chroming up (I'm after that mirror finish  ;D) so I'm on the look out for somewhere else but there doesn't seem to be many northern monkeys that do refurbs.  :(

I was told to buy helicooled adaptors as the threads on these ones last longer.

*Blue on the hunt for some adaptors too
