cheap steel and tyre package website/shop ????

i am looking for some new steel wheels (black or silver) along with some chunky-ish tyres in a package, for my defender 90. was just wondering if anyone knew of any good (ie cheap) websites or shops too look at?? any suggestions will be much appreciated

Depends on
Wheels - Modular, 8 spoke, Alloy etc
Tyre - MT, AT ,Road and Size.

but Camskill are good for tyres,
I got a good deal from Devon4x4

got some 285 75 cooper stt on gunmetal modulars from silverline about a month ago, they were the cheapest by over £75! i thought they were really knowledgeable and excellent customer service

Cheapest package I found when I bought mine in January was John Craddocks. Certainly for Insa Turbo Dakars on black mods ... £40 cheaper than anywhere else I could find with free delivery.

Hey Harry,

Hows the snapped cambelt looking?? Push rods or worse....

Just got mine from craddocks.

Couldn't find any cheaper elsewhere. In fact, i wasn't originally planning on buying rims as well, but once i priced it up, it was only about 14 quid per wheel more to buy rims and tyres fitted and balanced from craddocks, than everyone else would have wanted just for the tyres. And I'd have had to find a local tyre shop to fit and balance them.

The downside of craddocks though is that they have very few pictures on their website, so you've got to be sure of what you want from the descriptions.

or try paddocks but spondon tyres do a good deal aswell

You don't say where you are. I have 4 standard LR steel rims that are probably available if you're nearby.

anywhere around south yorkshire/ derbyshire ?

on the whole john craddocks does look the cheapest, thanks for the advice, just need to sell my pirelli scorpion tyres on discovery alloy rims ( set of 5)

I sold a set of those identical tyres with the same amount of tread on nearly new white eight spoke steels on ebay and they fetched £120. You'll be lucky to get £170.
