Irmscher are dumping them for ?200 the set (no tyres of course!) so even main dealers are selling them for ?250-ish.

Go see your parts guy at your local dealer!

Be careful, the dealership that i work at can only get them in 5 stud fitment, not 4. Some dealers are allocated wheels though.

Some main agents round here say NLS on loads of stuff, the one i use can get anything if i ask, just might take a few days>week to get in stock.

right word is that irmscher have 1000 wheels when they are gone they are gone, these are europe wide, they retail at ?310 inc vat from vauxhall dealers, LMF are selling at cost plus ?5, irmscher have recommended they dont, but aren't to bothered so long as they sell.

The wheels are coming from germany, Germany ordered the wheels after an agreement with GM Opel, im guessing for a special edition. This fell through and are now landed with 1000 rims to sell.

They're ?200 + VAT from irmscher. You need to be a vauxhall dealer to buy them. ?235 INCL VAT but LMF are makin money on the postage and packing as well....

4 stud, 16" and et49. That price is brilliant! I paid more like ?400 i think when I bought mine 3yrs ago. I'm tempted to get a spare set fro trackdays and put slicks on em.

ok, i phoned irmscher uk from our (vauxhall) parts dept myself today;

Reply= no, 556.95!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cry:

If lmf are selling them for 250, RIP THEIR HANDS OFF (and arm if neccesary)
Ok, lots of you are saying that your dealers can get them for 200+vat , if so can i have their number please?
There is the possibility that the irmscher sales man didn't know the offers on the phone though???
