supplier in far east. far east is Russia? Russia has capabilities to produce high-quality forged rims. It requires high-tech machinery, and this is available in former military factories.

OK quick update.

I have found the manufacturer and they are produced by RAYS and they are only made (from what i can tell) in a 19x8 5x114.3.  I have asked my contact for info on getting 5x112 and also a better price.  The current cost is 49,000 yen (about £230) per wheel.  The Orange stickers, also from what i can tell, are optional extras no colours as yet.

RAYS for those who dont know make VERY high quality cast and forged wheels for the rice rocket market.  For some more info visit http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/indexe.html

I will let you know more as it comes in  :smiley:

Right,

19x8 available in a 5x112 pcd offset around ET50 (OK for our babies)  I can get them for £737 for the set but this does not include shipping, taxes or VAT (I can probably get them put on one of our container orders for £30-£40)

Now this price is too high for me at the minute but if anyone is realy interested then i dont mind geting them in for you.

Now, where's my pen and paper....................

Dear Santa,
