Tried to order the above Meribel wheels for my GTD.  Currently not taking order for these, not in stock. 

Can anyone give any information as to when or if they will be available?

information I got from Listers was:

"we are expecting stock to be available towards the end of November."

So decided that was a bit late by the time you add a lead time and chances of being out of stock and went a seperate 17" OEM Activa wheels with some Conti 830 P's route.

Worked out at just over £1k as opposed to "The fully inclusive fitted price for a set of these is £1355."

Crazy driving, even on winter tyres. He left no margin for error at all passing so close to the other cars at speed.

Winters going on both our cars this weekend.

I like these rims. Did you get at VW dealer and what is the cost per rim please?
