I can't decide if I want the TF Dakar's or the SVX on that site.. one looks rugged and the other looks sweet! But I don't want people to think badly of claire because those wheels look like bling while the Dakars say "I'm a bad A who drives anywhere and everywhere"

They look good though. Need more pics though.
Justin tried. I had a few variations I wanted. Justin communicated with the "new" owner and found that they raised their prices to a ridiculous amount.
Their excuse was the exchange rate change....BS. So, We went to my second choice, TF100's (RVS). I wasn't going to pay for multi-piece wheel price for a modular steel wheel.

Keeping this one for life. We learned from our first mistake that we should not have sold our first Disco. Since I can't ride or buy any bikes anymore, I just cant stop working on my cars...I admit....I am an addict....

I see that Rover's North has renamed the Dakar as "Evo"?.... I do like the Dakar's in black. The SVX's...I haven't seen any in the US...go for it.

Looks like theyre available here: Mach 5 Wheels for Land Rover custom offset without spacers and other 4x4 vehicles beadlock and off road specialist custom made offsets to order spy-der-lock in the zu wheel don't have offsets like mach-5-wheels which are made by hand manufactured and
About $226-274 US plus VAT and shipping.

Jake, the ZU wheels from that place in Florida are out of stock now but they weren't. My buddy just picked up a set.

The difference between the ZU and Mach 5 is this. The ZU are alloy and have stock backspacing while the Mach 5 are steel and have more backspacing than stock.

Well you do realize the British Pound did just take a major devaluation, so for them to continue to sell to the US, they would have to raise their prices or go under. That is one of the things when dealing on an international basis.

You call it B/S, they call it economics...

If the US had not outsorced so many things to cheaper labor overseas, there would be a lot more American producers making things like that and our economy would be in better shape and overall prices would not be so high.

It is horrible when the major industries in the US now are not producing hard goods from natural resources. All the money is in things like FaceBook, whose owner stole the idea from his classmates and lied to then fired his best friend.
