Thanks Ginga, will try an email.
I bet they would sell nicely across the pond.
Well I broke down and ordered them from the UK.
Matt Black.
Question.
My tires are mounted with the white writing on the outside.
When I re mount them can I mount them with the writing on the inside?
I read somewhere that this is not a good idea as the steel belts freak out if reversed.??

what you do is if you want black side out, is right side goes to left side and , left side goes to right side This puts the white letters to inside and direction of rotation for the tyre stays the same .
put a chalk mark arrow in direction of travel and see

Matt or gloss black?
I am thinkin Matt.
Matt as they will dull from UV,salt,and sand........... You going to spray the chassis matt black also?
Put some mud flaps to keep the crud of the new paint work. They do make a clear spray on stone guard you could do lower half of body with..........http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/Scotchgard_Paint_Protection/Film/.............. Dupont makes a good one also

Ziebart is very good Is standard up here in the cold north.
have then do your inner doors, bulk head and any other place where water and salt can get. will slow down the rust, and you might want to do the inside of the chassis also.
was just told that the ZU wheels will not work with 265/75/16 !!!!!!!!!!

"I have checked with our tyre suppliers and they tell me you should not fit 265/75 tyres to anything smaller than an 8 ½ inch wheel. The maximum size that can safely be fitted to a 7 inch like the Zu rims is 235/70."

Just did a google and most trye fitters and dealer stores will not fit them, sorry reason is bead could pop off on low air and cause a accident. Recommended 8" rim width.
Natas lots of info on google on this, got to go with tyre makers on this
Best I find out now and not after I import them.
So what do people run with 265/75/16?
Something strong that will not rust.
