Orderd mine last week fom mytyres.

Spent a few weeks on ebay trying to buy some suitable alloys then found the mytres web site.

You can spec alloys ( or steelies ) and choice of winter tyres, fitted, balanced and delivered.

16 inch steels with vredestein wintracs came to £550

Some very smart 18 inch alloys with 225/40/18w rated Vredestein wintracs came to £900 so ordered those.

That's damn good!
I think I paid £700ish for just my Wintrac Xtremes a couple of years ago.

Do you have to do the whole lot inc. theory test? 
Fingers crossed for you  :smiley: hope it's not too tough (not sure I'd pass my test again!)
