The first batch to hit the UK is expected towards the tail end of next week. Pot luck if my depot gets an allocation from this batch though, as the number of units is still uncertain against orders based on what 4site told me.
I would probably only be looking at 2 or 3 of your wheels if I did go for it. I already have two 18" spares but reckon a couple more won't hurt
ND if you end up going for only 2/3 which ones are they likely to be do you think ?and theeeeennn......???
Ideally I'd like the 2 with the just legal tyres @ £55 ono each if that's ok? If I did go for a third I'd have the unused spare, leaving you with a matched set at 5mm. Looking unlikely for the 3rd though at the moment...... I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

What condition are the 5mm ones in? Any nicks in the sidewalls? And the rims?
Mine are not looking too fantastic since Salisbury - I actually have a 'divot' in the sidewall of one Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

M,
Thanks, getting a bit concerned for a moment there mate Captain Nick Medhurst would ask:
"What is the first rule when overlanding?"
No, that's all good with me. If Dave wants the new one I'll take the just legals and that leaves qzddgakdgfasabkdagfalkdwatsit picking over the 5mm ones if it suits your honour.
Edit: Steve, how on earth did you come to pick that as a screen name? I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Well the AT2s are ready to fit, so if anyone wants to help Blue Meanie and I out by buying these last two 18" wheels I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

ND and Dave, regardless of whether the other two go, I'll split yours out now if you like?
Superb. I can come and pick them up this evening if that suits you? I've got parents' evening at my daughter's school at 5:10 so could be with you around 7:00-7:30 after I've listened to the teacher pretending she know's my daughter from the other 27 kids in her class while she neatly skips around the total lack of discipline she instils in the chavvier element.......I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

nice to see you last night ND, are you going to post pics of the fitted result?and theeeeennn......???
Oooh yes indeedy, and thanks for the wheels (and the coffee).
I need to post some pics of the beast with both the Mantec and the AT2s, so will get busy at the weekend with the camera. Just need to find a nice atmospheric location for the pics...... And I have just the spot on the doorstep

Your wheel is now fitted in addition to another new tyre from Headley Tyres who were great, the front end is now sorted but will have to look at doing the rear in 4-6 weeks which gives me time for a good ring round...I may even use Headley again. The scorpions DO look quite credible when new IMO, just a shame they wear out a little too quick.
Cheers mate, thanks for the brew Captain Nick Medhurst would ask:
